Conditions

Back pain is one of the most common reasons patients seek medical care and can range from mild discomfort to severe, limiting pain. It may be caused by muscle strain, disc issues, arthritis, or nerve compression. Proper diagnosis is key to determining whether conservative treatments, injections, or minimally invasive procedures are appropriate.

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint condition caused by the gradual breakdown of cartilage, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. It commonly affects the spine, knees, hips, and shoulders. Treatment focuses on reducing inflammation, improving joint function, and slowing progression to help patients stay active.

Sciatica refers to pain that travels along the sciatic nerve, typically from the lower back through the hips and down one leg. It is often caused by a herniated disc or spinal narrowing that irritates the nerve. Treatment aims to reduce inflammation, relieve nerve compression, and restore mobility.

Automobile accidents can result in a wide range of injuries, including whiplash, spinal disc damage, nerve irritation, and soft tissue trauma. Symptoms may appear immediately or develop over time. Early evaluation and targeted pain management are critical for preventing long-term complications and supporting recovery.

Cervical radiculopathy occurs when a nerve in the neck becomes compressed or irritated, leading to pain that may radiate into the shoulders, arms, or hands. Patients may also experience numbness, tingling, or weakness. Treatment focuses on reducing nerve inflammation and addressing the underlying spinal issue.

A lumbar herniated disc occurs when the soft inner portion of a spinal disc pushes through its outer layer, often compressing nearby nerves. This condition can cause lower back pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness that radiates into the legs. Targeted, minimally invasive treatments can help relieve nerve pressure and reduce symptoms.
