CONDITIONS

Acute & Chronic Back Pain
Acute & Chronic Back Pain can have many causes, including injury, arthritis, poor posture, or spine issues. Back pain can be debilitating, but treatment can manage or eliminate pain.

Common symptoms may include:

Constant or intense pain, especially at night or when you lie down
Pain down one or both legs, especially if the pain extends below your knee
Weakness, numbness or tingling in one or both legs

Arthritis
Arthritis is a degenerative disease caused by wear and tear or autoimmune disorders that involves the weakening of cartilage or membrane cushioning joints.

Common symptoms may include:

Difficulty walking
Tender and swollen joints
Pain going into the thigh, buttocks, or knees
Sharp, aching pain often associated with stiffness

Slipped and Bulging Discs
Slipped and Bulging Discs or herniated discs occur when one of the pieces of cartilage between the vertebrae ruptures or slips out of place.

Common symptoms may include:

Sharp or burning pain in your arm, leg, buttocks, thigh, shoulder, or calf depending on the location of the disc
Radiating numbness or tingling
Muscle weakness

Neck Pain
Neck Pain can be caused by a variety of factors, from poor posture to arthritis. We can help diagnose the cause of your neck pain, and find a treatment.

Common symptoms may include:

Pain worsened by holding your head in one place for long periods
Muscle tightness and spasms
Difficulty moving your head
Headaches

Headaches
Headaches are common in most people occasionally, but frequent or exceptionally painful headaches can impact a patient’s quality of life. We can help diagnose and treat frequent or severe headaches.

Common symptoms may include:

A pulsating, throbbing sensation
Moderate to severe pain
Nausea, vomiting or both
Sensitivity to light and sound

Phantom Pain
Phantom Pain is pain that feels like it’s coming from a body part that’s no longer there. This pain is not psychological, but rather real sensations that originate in the spinal cord and brain and can be treated.

Common symptoms may include:

Symptoms affecting the part of the limb farthest from the body, such as the foot of an amputated leg
Pain that may be described as shooting, stabbing, cramping, pins and needles, crushing, throbbing, or burning

Neuropathic Pain
Neuropathic Pain is caused by damage or injury to the nerves that transfer information between the brain and spinal cord from other parts of the body. This damage can be a result of surgery or trauma, viral infections, cancer, neurological conditions like multiple sclerosis, or metabolic conditions like diabetes.

Common symptoms may include:

Excruciating pain
Pins and needles or numbness
Difficulty correctly sensing temperatures

Work-Related Injuries
Work-Related Injuries are any injuries occurring from a work-related accident that may have resulted in a spinal injury, or acute or chronic pain. We can provide a personalized treatment that improves your quality of life.

Degenerative Disc & Joint Disease
Degenerative Disc & Joint Disease is the weakening and breakdown of one or more vertebral discs, the structures between the bones in the spine that provide cushioning and allow movement. This can be caused by an injury, or the natural aging process.

Common symptoms may include:

Pain and stiffness in all spinal levels, particularly after long periods of sitting or standing
Pain that is worsened by bending or twisting, but relieved by lying down

Sciatica
Sciatica is pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which branches from your lower back through your hips and buttocks and down each leg. This most commonly occurs when a herniated disc, bone spur, or spinal stenosis compresses part of the nerve.

Common symptoms may include:

Cramping or aching in the calves that impairs walking, often confused with a circulation problem
Tingling, numbness, or pain that radiates from the low back into the buttocks and legs
Neck or low back pain
Weakness in the arms or legs

Spinal Stenosis
Spinal Stenosis is back pain caused by wear and tear on a spine, and usually develops in older adults. The majority of cases involve the lower spine.

Common symptoms may include:

Pain and stiffness in all spinal levels, particularly after long periods of sitting or standing
Pain that is worsened by bending or twisting, but relieved by lying down

Post Laminectomy
Post Laminectomy Pain Syndrome is a condition caused by a back surgery that failed to properly treat pain.

Common symptoms may include:

Still feeling the original pain
Dull aching feeling or short, stabbing pain in the back
A radiating pain in one or both legs
