What Is Spinal Instability?
Spinal instability occurs when there is excessive motion between vertebrae, resulting in pain and discomfort.
What causes Spinal Instability?
There are several potential causes of spinal instability. The most common are:
- Trauma—fracture of vertebrae and/or damage to the ligaments or structures that bind vertebrae to each other.
- Aging—wear and tear causes parts of the vertebral column to deteriorate (the “cushioning” between vertebrae).
- Congenital—spinal defects from birth can lead to spinal instability.
- Pathological—masses (tumors) can expand within the vertebrae and structures connecting the vertebrae to cause spinal instability.
What Are the Symptoms of Spinal Instability?
The symptoms of spinal instability include:
- Burning pain and/or spasms in the back or buttocks
- Leg weakness
- Pain, numbness, or tingling in the legs
- Back and/or leg pain that is worse with activity and improves or is eliminated with rest
How Is Spinal Instability Treated?
There are several nonsurgical and surgical treatment options for spinal instability, depending upon the condition causing it. These include:
- Physical therapy to strengthen core muscles
- Bracing
- Medications/spinal injections to reduce swelling and inflammation of pinched nerves
- Spinal fusion
