Neck problems that affect a cervical nerve root can cause pain and other symptoms through the arms and hands (radiculopathy).

This minimally-invasive procedure is used to treat an aneurysm, a bulge in the wall of an artery, inside the skull. Aneurysms can often become so large that they rupture or leak. In this procedure, a small, soft metal coil is placed inside the aneurysm to help block flow of blood and prevent rupture.

This condition is a weakening of one or more vertebral discs, which normally acts as a cushion between the vertebrae. This condition can develop as a natural part of the aging process, but it may result from injury to the back. 1.

Your spine will become stiffer and lose its flexibility as you age. By the time [...]
