Scoliosis, Worn Disc, Trapped Nerve

  •  Scoliosis is a side-to-side curvature of the spine.
  •  Degenerative disc disease is frequently the cause of low back pain, especially in young adults. ... The vast majority of people with degenerative disc disease experience low back pain symptoms that flare up periodically, but don't get worse over time
  •  Neck pain, headaches and pain in the face, shoulders, arms and hands may be created when the nerve is trapped in the neck. This may cause numbness or 'pins & needles' in the face, shoulder, arm or hand and may also be associated with weakness of shoulder, elbow, wrist or hand movements.
