Conditions We Treat

Our Bayonne spine specialists diagnose and treat disorders involving the cervical (neck), thoracic (mid-back), and lumbar (lower back) regions. Below are some of the most common spinal conditions we manage:

Cervical Disc Disease

When the discs in the neck wear down or sustain damage, the cushioning between vertebrae is reduced. This can lead to:

Neck pain and stiffness
Radiating discomfort or numbness into the arms

We utilize advanced imaging and evaluations to confirm diagnoses and recommend tailored treatments—ranging from physical therapy to surgical options—to alleviate symptoms and restore function.

Cervical Spinal Stenosis

This condition develops when the spinal canal in the neck narrows, placing pressure on the spinal cord or surrounding nerves. Symptoms may include:

Neck pain and weakness
Numbness or tingling
Problems with balance and coordination

Our team offers minimally invasive approaches and, when necessary, surgical solutions to relieve nerve compression and improve mobility.

Cervical Disc Herniation

A cervical herniated disc occurs when the inner portion of the disc pushes outward and irritates nearby nerves. It may cause:

Intense neck pain and headaches
Weakness in the arms or hands

Treatment options may include physical therapy, targeted injections, or procedures like discectomy for lasting relief.

Degenerative Disc Disease

As we age, spinal discs naturally lose flexibility and cushioning. This can contribute to:

Ongoing back pain
Stiffness and reduced range of motion

We employ a combination of lifestyle modifications, therapy, and minimally invasive surgical techniques to manage symptoms and assist patients in maintaining an active lifestyle.

Cervical Spine Fractures

Fractures in the neck region are serious injuries, often caused by accidents or falls, and require immediate attention. Treatment depends on severity and may include immobilization with a brace or surgical stabilization. Our comprehensive care ensures a safe and effective recovery and rehabilitation.

Lumbar Disc Herniation

When a disc in the lower back herniates, it can put pressure on nerves and cause:

Sharp lower back pain
Sciatica (pain radiating down the leg)
Difficulty walking, sitting, or standing

We provide a full spectrum of treatment options, starting with conservative therapies like physical therapy and epidural injections, and moving to surgery when non-surgical measures are not enough.

Additional Conditions We Treat

Herniated Disc

Herniated discs can develop in any part of the spine, but most often affect the lower back (lumbar) and neck (cervical) regions. When the soft inner material of a disc pushes outward, it may press on nearby nerves, leading to:

Pain in the back, neck, or extremities
Numbness or tingling
Muscle weakness in the arms or legs

Our specialists provide a full spectrum of care, ranging from conservative pain-relief strategies to advanced procedures such as microdiscectomy when surgery is the best option.

Lumbar Spinal Stenosis

This condition occurs when the spinal canal in the lower back becomes too narrow, putting pressure on the spinal cord and surrounding nerves. Common symptoms include:

Lower back pain
Radiating leg pain
Trouble standing or walking for extended periods

Treatment may involve physical therapy, targeted spinal injections, or surgical interventions in severe cases to reduce compression and restore comfort and mobility.

Spinal Arthritis

Spinal arthritis, or osteoarthritis of the spine, develops when the protective cartilage between spinal joints gradually wears down. This process may cause:

Chronic pain
Stiffness
Localized inflammation

Our team focuses on reducing discomfort and preserving movement with customized plans that may include anti-inflammatory medications, therapeutic exercises, and minimally invasive procedures when necessary.
