Spine Conditions and Treatment Options
Spine problems can cause pain, stiffness, tingling, or weakness that affect daily life. Some improve with rest or physiotherapy, while others require medical care. At Mash Spine & Orthopaedics, we provide consultations, diagnosis, and treatment for a wide range of spine conditions.
Why Orthopaedic Health Matters
The spine supports movement, posture, and nerve function. When part of the spine is affected, whether by wear-and-tear, injury, or structural changes, it can lead to symptoms not only in the back and neck, but also in the arms, legs, and hips.
