Symptoms and Conditions
Sunday June 29, 2008
Did you know that About.com is having a face lift? If you visit the site regularly or even occasionally, you may have noticed the new design. The new design comes with a reorganization, too. So I thought you might need a little guidance on how you can get more information from the Back and Neck Pain site. Consider this the first in a series of instructions.
If you want to look up a condition, such as back strain or loss of cervical curve, or other condition of the spine, check the Symptoms/Conditions Tab. This tab should be viewable toward the top of the page, and is the 2nd one in. Once you are on the Symptoms/Conditions page, there are several sections, each with its own sub-topic. Click any of the links for articles, quizzes, image galleries, etc on the topics listed.
If you don't see the tab, just click here for the information it contains. Then come back in a day or so, an you should be able to see the tabs then.
In the next installment, in a few days, we will learn about how to look for information on treatments.

Thank you for providing this helpful information, Anne! I found almost everything I needed to know about my neck pain under Symptoms/Conditions. I’ll definitely be back.
Hi Anne: I do thank you for all the helpful info. on your newsletter. I’m a yoga and taichi teacher, aged 65 and going like a 40 year old, if I say so myself (Smile) However, after a bout of unusual backpain two months ago, was sent for an xray/MRI of back and neck. Spondylosis of both was the result. But the strangest thing was that the images show NO CARTILAGE in my neck. Dr. thinks I may have been born with none. Have done the headstand every day for the past 30 odd years. Always have some neck pain but nothing to worry about. Have you ever heard of this? Shocked but not worried. Thank You..Aisha
