|
Instability is the inability of the spine to tolerate normal daily stress applied to the spine without causing pain, changes on x-rays and or leading to some deficit. Instability can arise from herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, or trauma. A detailed interview and a careful examination by a spine specialist with appropriate imaging studies will determine if you have lumbar instability. This is a condition that will more likely than not require surgical treatment.
