Arthritis (Facet Joint Syndrome)
Facet joint syndrome (also called spinal osteoarthritis, facet joint osteoarthritis or spinal arthritis) occurs when the cartilage that line the facet joints in the spine deteriorate, allowing the bones to rub directly against each other.

A compression fracture is a collapse of a vertebra. It may be due to trauma or due to a weakening of the vertebra This weakening is seen in patients with osteoporosis or osteogenesis imperfecta, lytic lesions from metastatic or primary tumors,[1] or infection.[2] In healthy patients it is most often seen in individuals suffering extreme vertical shocks, such as ejecting from an ejection seat.

Pain within the joint is a common cause of shoulder pain, ankle pain, and knee pain. Joint pain is also referred to as arthralgia.

Lumbar Radiculopathy
Radiculopathy is a condition due to a compressed nerve in the spine that can cause pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness along the course of the nerve. Radiculopathy can occur in any part of the spine, but it is most common in the lower back (lumbar radiculopathy) and in the neck (cervical radiculopathy) More about Lumbar Radiculopathy.
Muscle Spasms
Muscle pain and spasms are spontaneous muscle contractions. Causes. Normal voluntary muscle contraction begins when electrical signals are sent from the brain through the spinal cord along nerve cells called motor neurons More about Muscle Spasms.
