Herniated Disc
The disc's soft center pushes through its outer wall and presses a nerve. Most settle with time, therapy, and targeted injections.

Conditions we treat.
Spine, cranial, and nerve conditions, explained in plain language. Conservative care first, always.
Bulging Disc
A disc flattens and extends past its normal border. Often painless — until it narrows the space a nerve needs.
Spinal Stenosis
The canal carrying your spinal cord narrows. The tell: legs that ache or go heavy when you walk, and ease when you sit.
Sciatica
Pain that travels from the low back through the hip and down the leg. Sciatica is a symptom — finding its cause is the work.
Degenerative Disc
Discs lose water and height over time. Common on imaging, not always the pain source. We examine before we operate.
Pinched Nerve
A nerve root compressed where it exits the spine. Numbness, tingling, or weakness that follows one specific path.
Scoliosis
A sideways curvature of the spine. Watched, braced, or corrected depending on the degree and whether it is progressing.
Spondylolisthesis
One vertebra slips forward over the one beneath it. Restoring stability — not just easing pain — drives the plan.
Facet Disease
Arthritis in the small joints that guide spinal motion. Worse leaning back, standing, or walking downhill.
Spinal Fractures
Breaks from trauma or osteoporosis. Imaging early matters — some heal in a brace, others need stabilization.
Spine Tumors
Growths within or beside the spinal column. Rare, serious, and handled with fellowship-trained neurosurgical care.
Osteoarthritis
Cartilage wear in the spine's joints. Stiff in the morning, better with movement, worse by the end of a long day.
Osteomyelitis
Infection in the bone of the spine. Uncommon, but it moves fast — diagnosis and antibiotics cannot wait.
Osteoporosis
Bone that has lost density and strength, raising fracture risk. Often silent until a vertebra gives way.
Leg Pain
Leg pain that starts in the spine. When the source is the back, treating the leg alone never holds.
Bone Spurs
Extra bone growth along a joint or vertebra. Harmless on its own — the problem is what it presses against.
