Symptoms of lumbar and cervical spine disorders include the following:
1. **Lumbar spine disorder**: May present with low back pain, radiating pain into the lower limbs, and in severe cases, difficulty bending forward.
2. **Cervical spine disorder**: May cause pain in the neck and shoulders; nerve compression may lead to symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and dizziness, and in severe cases, numbness and weakness in all four limbs.
