A healthy spine is - literally - the backbone of a healthy body. Our back specialists are here to diagnose and treat all spinal conditions, from fractures and slipped discs to arthritis and sciatica. Let our experts help you get back to doing what you love with spine care that supports your wellness and health. 

Spinal fracture.

Spinal fractures may occur after an injury like a car accident, or they may result from osteoporosis. Minor injuries often will not require surgery, but a major fracture may require surgical correction to prevent long-term complications. Treatment options may include kyphoplasty, laminectomy, or spinal fusion.

Degenerative disc disease.

Degenerative disc disease occurs when spinal discs wear down, leading to pain and stiffness. These discs act as "shock absorbers" between your vertebrae, making it easier to bend and twist. Most people experience some level of disc degeneration after age 40, which may lead to herniated/slipped disc, spinal stenosis, or adult scoliosis. Treatment options may include physical therapy, medication, laminectomy, or spinal fusion. 

Sciatica.

Sciatica is a condition characterized by intense pain that radiates down the lower back, buttocks, and legs (usually on one side of the body). It's caused by pressure on the sciatic nerve, which may be due to a herniated disc or enlarged bone. Treatments that can help include pain medication, steroid injections, or physical therapy. Surgical removal of bone spurs or herniated disc is a last resort when other treatments don't relieve severe pain or weakness. 

Spinal stenosis.

Spinal stenosis occurs when the opening of the spinal canal narrows, often caused by a bulging disc or enlargement of the bone and ligaments. This is a common, age-related condition. Symptoms include nerve pain or pressure, swelling, numbness, and weakness.

Scoliosis.

Scoliosis is a spinal deformity which causes curvature of the spine, resulting in physical differences including shoulder height, hip height, and arm length. Scoliosis is often diagnosed in childhood - when it's diagnosed after bone development is complete, it's known as "adult scoliosis." Treatment is intended to relieve pain and improve function, and may include pain relief, core-strengthening exercises, epidural or nerve-block injections, and spine stabilization surgery.
