Spine Instability

What is Spine Instability?

Spinal instability occurs when the vertebrae move abnormally, leading to excessive motion and potential nerve damage. This condition can result from trauma, degeneration, or surgery, and may cause pain, numbness, or weakness. Mr. Irfan Malik offers specialized treatments to stabilize the spine and restore function.

Symptoms

• Back or neck pain: Pain worsens with movement and improves with rest.
• Nerve-related symptoms: Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the arms or legs.
• Limited mobility: Difficulty bending, twisting, or performing daily activities.
• Muscle spasms: Tightness or muscle spasms in the back or neck.
