Ruptured Disc

Spinal Stenosis
Spinal Stenosis is generally seen in the aging population. When we age, our spinal cord can become constricted. Sometimes this is because of arthritis, or other conditions. A tight spinal cord can cause back pain.
Disogenic Back Pain
This is also a familiar type of lower back pain. A damaged intervertabral disc can be the cause of this condition, but not with disc herniation. This is diagnosed from a discgram.

Spondylolisthesis causes the vertebra to destabilize losing support, and causing slippage of the vertebra, causing pain in the back. Changes due to degeneration can cause a great reduction in stabilization in the spinal column creating Spondylolisthesis. When the spine get’s unstable to a certain point, it causes back pain.
