The Spine – Conditions, Back Pain, Causes & Treatment at SPORTambulatorium Vienna
The human spine is a complex structure consisting of vertebral bodies, vertebral joints, intervertebral discs, and neural structures, including the spinal cord and spinal nerves. It typically consists of cervical vertebrae (C1–C7), thoracic vertebrae (T1–T12), lumbar vertebrae (L1–L5), sacral vertebrae (S1–S5), and coccygeal vertebrae. Due to the complexity of the spine, discomfort can arise in many areas.
Our Spine Specialist at SPORTambulatorium Vienna: Dr. Julia Reinhart
Our specialist in neurosurgery and spine specialist in Vienna, Dr. Julia Reinhart, develops the best possible, personalized treatment plan for you at our neurosurgical practice in the SPORTambulatorium Vienna. Should surgery be necessary, it will be performed at the Confraternität Private Clinic in Vienna— using minimally invasive neurosurgical techniques and modern microscopy.
A study has shown that for patients with long-lasting lower back pain, independence from medical facilities is the most important factor. One of the goals of the SPORTambulatorium Wien team is therefore to offer “help for self-help.” In addition to educating patients on the “correct” actions to take in acute situations, recommendations regarding the selection and practice of sports are key components of medical and therapeutic counseling.
What spinal conditions are there?
Spinal conditions encompass a wide range of issues—from natural signs of degeneration to structural misalignments and inflammatory processes. These include, among others, degenerative changes such as herniated discs and spinal stenosis, congenital or acquired postural abnormalities such as scoliosis or Scheuermann’s disease, as well as inflammatory conditions such as ankylosing spondylitis. These conditions can lead to pain, limited mobility, and, in severe cases, neurological impairments.
