  • fractures of the vertebrae;
  • infectious diseases, as a result the that can occur the defeat of the intervertebral disc and their own vertebrae;
  • metabolic lesions of bone tissue (osteoporosis, osteomalacia);
  • non-communicable diseases inflammatory in nature (rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis);
