Conditions We Treat

Our orthopedic spine specialists diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions across the cervical (neck), thoracic (mid-back), and lumbar (lower back) spine. Some of the most common conditions we manage include:

Cervical Disc Disease

When the discs in your neck break down or become injured, they may lead to neck pain, stiffness, or tingling down the arms
Using advanced imaging and evaluation, we offer both non-surgical and surgical solutions tailored to your needs

Cervical Spinal Stenosis

This narrowing of the spinal canal in the neck can compress nerves or the spinal cord, causing pain, weakness, or coordination issues
Our minimally invasive treatments are designed to relieve pressure and restore proper function

Cervical Spine Disc Herniation

A bulging or herniated disc in the cervical region can result in neck pain, headaches, or arm weakness
Our team offers everything from targeted physical therapy and injections to surgical discectomy when needed

Degenerative Disc Disease

As spinal discs age and lose flexibility, you may experience chronic pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility
We use a combination of conservative therapies and minimally invasive procedures to help restore quality of life

Cervical Spine Fractures

Often caused by trauma, fractures in the cervical spine require immediate, expert intervention
Whether through bracing or surgical stabilization, our priority is complete healing and safe recovery

Lumbar Spine Disc Herniation

A herniated disc in the lower back may cause severe pain, numbness, or leg weakness
We offer comprehensive care, including physical therapy, injections, and surgery when necessary, so you can get back to living without pain

Additional Conditions We Treat

Herniated Disc

Most commonly found in the cervical and lumbar spine, a herniated disc occurs when the soft inner core of a disc pushes through its outer layer, often compressing nearby nerves. This can result in:

Pain
Numbness
Weakness in the arms or legs

We provide a full range of treatment options—from conservative pain relief techniques to advanced surgical procedures like microdiscectomy—to reduce symptoms and restore mobility.

Lumbar Spinal Stenosis

This condition results from a narrowing of the spinal canal in the lower back, which can place pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. Symptoms may include:

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

Our approach includes physical therapy, spinal injections, and surgical decompression if necessary, all aimed at improving movement and comfort.

Spinal Arthritis

Spinal arthritis, or osteoarthritis of the spine, is caused by the breakdown of cartilage between vertebrae and can lead to:

Chronic pain
Joint stiffness
Inflammation in the spine

We focus on slowing disease progression and improving daily function through personalized care plans that may include physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medication, and minimally invasive interventions.
