Herniated or Bulging Discs
When a spinal disc slips, bulges, or ruptures, it can place pressure on nearby nerves. This may cause back pain, neck pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain that travels into the arms or legs.
Spinal Stenosis
Spinal stenosis occurs when the spaces within the spine become narrowed. This can place pressure on the spinal cord or nerves, often causing pain, stiffness, weakness, or difficulty walking.
Degenerative Disc Disease
Degenerative disc disease develops when the spinal discs wear down over time. This may lead to ongoing pain, reduced flexibility, instability, and discomfort during movement.
Scoliosis and Spinal Deformities
Scoliosis and other spinal deformities involve abnormal curves or alignment changes in the spine. These conditions can affect posture, movement, comfort, and long term spinal function.
Spinal Fractures and Trauma
Spinal fractures may result from accidents, falls, injuries, or weakened bones. Treatment may be needed to protect the spinal cord, restore stability, reduce pain, and support recovery.
Sciatica and Nerve Compression
Sciatica occurs when a nerve in the lower back becomes irritated or compressed. This can cause pain that travels down the leg, often with numbness, tingling, or weakness.
Chronic Back or Neck Pain
Persistent back or neck pain may be linked to disc problems, joint changes, nerve irritation, muscle strain, or spinal instability. A proper diagnosis helps guide the most suitable treatment approach.
Failed Previous Spinal Surgery
Some patients continue to experience pain after previous spinal surgery. Further assessment may help identify the cause of ongoing symptoms and explore additional treatment options.
Whiplash Injury
Whiplash is a neck injury commonly caused by a sudden back and forth movement of the head, often after a car accident or impact. It can lead to neck pain, stiffness, headaches, shoulder pain, nerve irritation, reduced movement, and ongoing discomfort if not properly assessed and treated.
