For grown ups Head aches, pain in the neck, spine, loins, arms, legs can be the symptoms of:   –  osteochondrosis – degenerative-dystrophic disease of the inter-vertebral disc. The degenerative disc loses water and splits into several fragments losing height;   –  spondyloarthrosis – spinal joints disease of the aseptic inflammation origin (overcooling, overload). There are two major variants of the disease: hyper mobile, hypo mobile);   –  spondylodystraphy-osteoporosis – Calcium loss. Discs are not injured, but vertebras become flat (so called "fish form");   –  spondylolihamenthosys – front and back longitudinal vertebral copulas lime loss;   –  spondylolisthesis stage I-II – vertebral body slipping to the major vertebral column. True Spondylolisthesis (vertebra arch splitting) is characterized by vertebra fastening via myofixation. For children   –  attitude affection – curvature of the spine visible only in the vertical position;   –  acquired scoliosis I-II stage – curvature of the spine visible in the horizontal position as well;   –  kyphosis – prominent curvature of the thoracic section;   –  early osteochondrosis - symptoms: headaches, pains in the neck, spine, loins and legs. Myofascial syndrome: congenital injury and physical overloads in early childhood;   –  spondylolysthesis stage I-II – see spondylolysthesis stage I-II for grown ups;   –  enuresis (of the spinal original) – night urine incontinence connected with of the spine core blood circulation problems;   –  infantile cerebral paralysis (of the spinal original) – spine core affection.
