Comprehensive evaluation of acute, chronic, or activity-related spinal pain.
Compression Fractures
Often caused by osteoporosis or injury, leading to sudden or severe back pain.
Degenerative Disc Disease
Wear-and-tear of spinal discs resulting in chronic pain or nerve irritation.
Herniated Disc
Disc material pressing on nerves, causing neck pain, back pain, radiculopathy, or sciatica.
Kyphosis
Forward spinal curvature may cause pain, changes in posture, and breathing difficulties in severe cases.
Lower Back Pain
Targeted evaluation to determine whether symptoms stem from discs, nerves, joints, or muscular strain.
Myelopathy
Spinal cord compression leading to balance issues, weakness, and fine motor difficulties—requiring prompt evaluation.
Neck Pain
Caused by disc disease, nerve compression, arthritis, or instability.
Radiculopathy
Nerve irritation or compression causing radiating arm or leg pain, numbness, or weakness.
Sciatica
Radiating leg pain is typically caused by pressure on the sciatic nerve, often from a disc herniation or stenosis.
