What is Spine Instability?

Spine instability refers to an abnormal condition where there is excessive movement between two or more vertebrae in the spine, leading to pain, limited mobility, and potential neurological deficits. It can occur due to various factors, including degenerative changes, trauma, tumors, or previous surgeries. Spine instability can affect different regions of the spine, such as the cervical (neck), thoracic (mid-back), or lumbar (lower back) spine. Prompt diagnosis and appropriate management are crucial to relieve symptoms, stabilize the spine, and prevent further complications.
