Conditions

There are many causes of back pain ranging from overexertion to poor posture to degenerative disease.

Treatment for low back pain depends on its cause, severity, and duration. Most symptoms are treatable with pain medications, facet blocks, epidurals, short periods of rest, and exercise.

Muscle, ligament, nerve, and spine injuries are all common causes of neck pain, as well as poor posture and age-related “wear and tear.”

Our orthopedic specialists provide surgical and nonsurgical treatment for scoliosis, an abnormal curvature of the spine.

The sciatic nerve is the thickest and longest nerve in your body. The sciatic nerve extends from your lower back down to your feet.

A herniated disc, also called a “ruptured” disc, is a common source of neck or lower back pain. Discs are cushion-like pads that are located between the series of small bones that make up the spine.

A bulging disc can cause pressure on the nerves or spinal cord. Fortunately, for the vast majority of people, pain related to a bulging disc can be relieved without surgery.

The majority of people with degenerative disc disease are treated with pain management methods aimed at relieving discomfort and improving function.

Aging, arthritis, and degenerative conditions can cause the bones to change shape and narrow the areas where the spinal cord and nerves travel through, causing spinal stenosis.
