  • Cancer Pain: Pain in cancer may arise from a tumor compressing or infiltrating nearby body parts; from treatments and diagnostic procedures; or from the skin, nerve, and other changes caused by a hormone imbalance or immune response.
  • Coccydynia: Pain in the region of the coccyx. Also called coccyalgia, coccydynia, coccygodynia.
  • Degenerative Disc Disease: Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) is the breakdown of an intervertebral disc of the spine. It may cause acute or chronic low back or neck pain. The typical radiographic findings in DDD are black discs, disc space narrowing, vacuum disc, endplate sclerosis, and osteophyte formation.
  • Facet Arthropathy: Facet joint arthrosis is an intervertebral joint disorder. The facet joints or zygapophyseal joints are synovial cartilage-covered joints that limit the movement of the spine and preserve segmental stability. In the event of hypertrophy of the vertebrae, painful arthrosis can occur.
  • Herniated Disc: Occurs when the spongy, soft material that cushions the bones of the spine (vertebrae) slips out of place or becomes damaged.
  • Ischemic Pain: A type of chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart.
  • Myofascial Pain: A disorder in which pressure on sensitive points in the muscles causes pain in seemingly unrelated body parts. The syndrome often happens after repeated injury or muscle overuse.
  • Neuropathic Pain: A complex, chronic pain state that is usually accompanied by tissue injury. The nerve fibers themselves might be damaged, dysfunctional, or injured. These damaged nerve fibers send incorrect signals to other pain centers.
  • Occipital Neuralgia: A condition in which the nerve. run from the top of the spinal cord up through the scalp.
  • Peripheral Neuropathy: A long-term complication. It causes burning, aching, numbness, or pins and needle sensations in the hands, feet, arms, and legs. It is caused by nerve damage.
  • Phantom Limb Pain: PLP refers to ongoing painful sensations that seem to be coming from the part of the limb that is no longer there. The limb is gone, but the pain is real. The onset of this pain most often occurs soon after surgery.
  • Piriformis Syndrome: An uncommon disorder of a narrow muscle located in the buttocks.
  • Post Herpetic Neuralgia: A complication of shingles, which is caused by the chickenpox (herpes zoster) virus. Postherpetic neuralgia affects nerve fibers and skin, causing burning pain that lasts long after the rash and blisters of shingles disappear.
  • Radiculopathy: Disease of the spinal nerve roots. Radiculopathy is caused by compression or irritation of a nerve as it exits the spinal column.
  • RSD/CRPS/Causalgia: Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), also known as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD), is a long-term condition that often worsens with time. It is characterized by severe pain, sensitivity, swelling, and changes in the skin. It may initially affect one limb and spread throughout the body; 35% of people reported symptoms that affected their whole body.
  • Sacroiliitis: An inflammation of one or both of your sacroiliac joints - situated where your lower spine and pelvis connect. It can cause pain in your buttocks or lower back and can extend down one or both legs.
  • Sciatica: Usually caused when a herniated disc or bone spur in the spine presses on the nerve.
  • Shingles: Causes a painful rash that may appear as a stripe of blisters on the trunk of the body. Pain can persist even after the rash is gone (postherpetic neuralgia).
  • Spinal Stenosis: Can put pressure on the spinal cord and the nerves within the spine. It commonly occurs in the neck and lower back. The condition is often caused by age-related wear and tear.
