[Physician's Column] By Dr. Kyungwoo Park, Director of Kwanghye Spine Hospital.Lower back pain is a frequent complaint among middle-aged and older adults, often brushed off as an unavoidable part of aging. Many reach for over-the-counter pain relievers or heating patches, chalking up their discomfort to a weekend of overexertion or poor posture. Yet this dismissive approach can obscure serious conditions. Spinal stenosis, nearly as common as herniated discs in older populations, can severely diminish mobility and quality of life if not addressed early.The spine, the body’s central pillar, beg

[Physician's Column] By Dr. Son Seon Yong, Director of Yonsei Baro Chuk Hospital (Neurosurgery Specialist)Back pain is a widespread issue, often brushed off as muscle strain or poor posture. Yet persistent discomfort may signal a far graver condition: ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) in the thoracic spine, which can escalate from mild symptoms to paralysis if ignored.The posterior longitudinal ligament, a structure safeguarding the spinal cord along the spine’s posterior aspect, can thicken and calcify in OPLL, compressing neural tissue. Initially, this process may

By YonseiSarang Hospital As summer heat intensifies, many individuals, particularly those with knee osteoarthritis, face heightened joint pain. For middle-aged and older adults, the rainy season’s humidity and high temperatures can worsen discomfort. Lower atmospheric pressure elevates relative pressure within joints, exacerbating pain. Knee osteoarthritis, a prevalent degenerative disease, arises when cartilage in the knee joint progressively wears away, leading to pain and reduced mobility. Primarily affecting older adults due to age-related cartilage deterioration, it is also influenced b
