Fusion of the back (spine)

Simplified Explanation

Vertebrae can fuse together, preventing rotation and limiting movement. Nerves passing through vertebrae may also be affected.

Treatment

Typically no treatment is necessary unless mobility is severely restricted, in which case surgery is the only treatment. Surgery may not overweigh risk.
