As our name suggests, the spine is an area that we specialize in, for the simple reason that this crucial and complicated part of the human anatomy is central to our ability to stand, to walk, to engage in sports and other common activities and to live our lives without the kind of pain that can by itself be debilitating.

Please return to this page in the future for detailed information on various types of spinal injuries that we treat, as well as examples of successful treatments that we have prescribed.

•Information is readily available on methods to stop neck and back pain.

The challenge is to design a program that meets the specific needs of each individual. Treatment for any spinal condition is recommended as soon as possible to minimize further aggravation. The following is a list of some of the conditions we treat which may cause neck or back pain.

•Radiculopathy.

A pinched nerve often from a herniated or slipped disk. This causes pain down the arm or leg and is often described as an "electrical" feeling.

•Myofascial Pain.

Generally an aching pain in muscles that tends to be associated with poor posture, sitting at a computer or other job-related tasks. Patients can become sore in different parts of the body such as the neck, arms, back or legs. Other patients report they have difficulty sleeping or feeling restored from sleep.

•Spinal Stenosis.

A narrowing of the nerve openings either around the spinal cord or nerve roots that can cause problems similar to a pinched nerve. Cervical spinal stenosis produces pain usually described as an aching or an electrical feeling down the arm. Spinal stenosis in the lower back can cause leg pain, difficulty walking and aching or heaviness in the back and legs.

•Tendon, Ligament and Soft Tissue Pain.

Localized pain when an area in stretched or its muscles are overused. The result in tenderness.

•Repetitive Strain Injury.

An injury that occurs from a chronically used part of the body, either in a normal or abnormal way. These problems are often found in people who perform repetitive activities in their daily routine.

•Non-Spinal Causes of Low Back and Neck Pain.

Neck and back pain can sometimes be referred from other disorders such as: shoulder/elbow injuries, bladder disease, appendicitis, kidney disease, uterine disorders and urinary tract infections.
