Spine Conditions

Conditions We Treat

Comprehensive evaluation and treatment of complex spine conditions using motion preservation techniques and evidence-based approaches.

Age-related disc degeneration causing pain and stiffness

Natural wear and tear of spinal discs leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Often treatable with motion preservation techniques.

Common Condition
Spinal cord compression in the neck region

Compression of the spinal cord in the cervical spine causing weakness, numbness, and coordination problems. Requires prompt evaluation.

Urgent Condition
Narrowing of the spinal canal causing nerve compression

Narrowing of the spinal canal that puts pressure on nerves, causing pain, numbness, and weakness in legs or arms.

Progressive Condition
Disc material pressing on spinal nerves

When disc material pushes through the outer ring and presses on nerves, causing pain, numbness, and weakness.

Acute/Chronic
Forward slippage of one vertebra over another

When one vertebra slips forward over the one below it, potentially causing nerve compression and instability.

Stability Issue
Abnormal curvature of the spine

Abnormal sideways curvature of the spine that can cause pain, deformity, and functional limitations in adults.

Deformity

When to Seek Treatment

Recognizing symptoms that warrant professional evaluation

  • Progressive loss of coordination
  • Severe pain with fever
Evaluation Indicators
Symptoms that warrant professional evaluation
  • Persistent pain lasting more than 6 weeks
  • Pain interfering with daily activities
  • Numbness or tingling in arms/legs
  • Stiffness limiting movement
  • Pain worse with certain positions
