Back, Neck and Spine

At Orthopedic Specialists & Sports Medicine, we treat a comprehensive range of back, neck, and spine conditions, including:

• Arthritis: Inflammation that causes joint stiffness and pain in the spine.
• Coccyx (tailbone) damage: Trauma to the lower end of the spine, often resulting in prolonged sitting discomfort.
• Disc disorders: Includes ruptured discs, herniated discs, and degenerative disc disease, leading to nerve pressure and persistent back pain.
• Sacroiliitis: Inflammation of the sacroiliac joints, causing pain in the lower back and buttocks.
• Lumbago: A general term for lower back pain that can range from mild to severe.
• Peripheral nerve trauma: Injuries affecting the nerves that branch off the spinal cord.
• Sciatica: Compression of the sciatic nerve causes radiating leg pain.
• Scoliosis: Abnormal sideways curvature of the spine.
• Spinal stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal leading to nerve compression and pain.
• Sprains: Overstretching or tearing of ligaments in the spine.
• Vertebral fractures: Breaks in the bones of the spine, often from trauma or osteoporosis.
• Cervical disc damage: Injury to the discs in the neck area.
• Cervical kyphosis: Excessive forward curvature of the cervical spine.
• Chronic neck pain: Ongoing neck discomfort that interferes with daily activities.
• Compressed nerves: Nerves pinched by bones, cartilage, or other tissues.
• Degenerative disc disease: Deterioration of spinal discs with age.
• Osteoarthritis: Breakdown of cartilage in the spinal joints.
• Rheumatoid arthritis: Autoimmune inflammation that attacks the spinal joints.
• Kyphosis: Forward rounding of the spine leading to posture issues.
• Spinal disc herniation: Displacement of disc material causing nerve irritation.
• Spinal osteoarthritis: Wear and tear of the spine’s protective cartilage.
• Spinal stenosis: Repeated here for emphasis, as it is a major cause of pain and mobility loss.
• Vertebral compression fractures: Collapse of a vertebra typically due to osteoporosis.
