Spine Conditions

Like every other part of your body, aging, injury or disease can impact your spine. Some back problems are temporary. With a little rest and over-the-counter pain relievers, you’re feeling like yourself again. However, other pain can become chronic and debilitating. Some conditions even cause leg, neck or arm pain in addition to pain in your back.

We specialize in diagnosing and treating spinal conditions. When you’re living with pain that isn’t improving, turn to us. We’ll get you moving and back on your feet.

Whether you are just beginning your spine care journey or already have diagnosed spine pain, the team of caregivers are right here to support you with non-surgical and surgical solutions.

Conditions We Treat

Some of the most common conditions we treat include:

  • Compression fracture – A break in a vertebra, or bone of your spine, that causes it to collapse on the bone beneath it. This compression may result in loss of height and, over time, a stooped appearance. Learn more about compression fractures.
  • Degenerative disk disease – A common condition in which the disks that cushion the vertebrae of your spine lose fluid and break down. Pain is a result, sometimes occurring in flare-ups. Learn more about degenerative disk disease.
  • Herniated disk – Also known as a ruptured disk or slipped disk. This condition occurs when the fluid-like center of a disk between two vertebrae pushes outward through a tear. A ruptured disk can put pressure on nerves, causing back, arm or leg pain, numbness or tingling and other symptoms. Learn more about herniated disks.
  • Sacroiliac (SI) joint pain – Pain in one of the two joints connecting your spine to your hips. In addition to discomfort in your lower back or hips, it may cause numbness or weakness in your legs. Learn more about SI joint pain.
  • Scoliosis – Abnormal side-to-side curvature of the spine. Doctors usually diagnose this condition in children and adolescents. You may recognize it by the uneven appearance of a child’s hips or shoulders. Learn more about scoliosis.
  • Spinal cord injuries – Injuries can compress or sever the spinal cord and interfere with the brain’s ability to communicate with the rest of the body. A damaged spinal cord may affect movement and prevent your body from functioning normally. Learn more about spinal cord injuries.
  • Spinal stenosis – A narrowing of your spinal canal, the space in the center of each vertebrae. Your spinal cord travels through your spinal canal from your brain to the bottom of your back. When the canal narrows, it may put pressure on nerves, leading to pain, numbness, tingling and weakness. Learn more about spinal stenosis.

  • Spondylolisthesis – A condition that occurs when a vertebra slips out of place. This bone movement may cause your back or neck to gradually bend. It may also cause your spinal canal to narrow. This displacement can put pressure on nerves and lead to numbness or tingling in your arms or legs. Learn more about spondylolisthesis.

  • Spondylosis – Commonly known as spinal osteoarthritis. The condition refers to the wear and tear that comes with aging. It affects your spine’s joints and disks. Common symptoms include pain, stiffness, and numbness or tingling in your arms and legs. Learn more about spondylosis.
