Spinal nerve compression is usually the result of bulging discs or other degeneration of the spine. It occurs when the spine is improperly aligned. If you are experiencing back pain that started gradually and has worsened over time, you may have spinal compression. In particular, women over age 50 often suffer from spinal compression caused by osteoporosis. Left untreated, tiny compression fractures can form in the vertebrae. Spinal compression often presents as the symptoms mentioned above.

There are many types of spinal disc injuries, including bulging discs, herniated discs, compressed discs, or pinched nerves. Each of these conditions should be taken seriously and treated appropriately.
