Symptoms of cervical and lumbar spine disorders mainly include low back pain, buttock pain, numbness, and pain in the lower limbs. Cervical spine disorders often cause soreness in the neck muscles, especially among patients who sit at a desk for prolonged periods or keep their heads bent down for extended durations during other activities. When such symptoms occur, it is important to maintain proper sitting posture, avoid bending over, and correct unhealthy lifestyle habits. Physical therapy, acupuncture, and anti-inflammatory pain relief treatments may be chosen for the affected painful areas.
