Few structures in the human body are as powerful and flexible as the spine. However, it bears the stress of supporting and protecting the network of tissue and nerves that connect the torso, limbs and brain. Whether damage to the spine occurs due to injury, overuse, trauma or arthritis, it can cause debilitating pain.
