A focused spine practice covering degenerative, traumatic, and structural conditions across the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine. The descriptions below are educational summaries — your own evaluation determines the right path.
Age-related wear of the intervertebral discs that can lead to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Many cases respond well to non-surgical care; surgery is considered selectively.
When disc material displaces and presses on a nerve root or the spinal cord, causing arm or leg pain, numbness, or weakness. Often managed without surgery, with targeted options when symptoms persist.
Narrowing of the spinal canal that compresses neural structures, commonly producing leg pain or heaviness with walking. Central, foraminal, and lateral recess patterns are each evaluated individually.
Focal narrowing where individual nerve roots exit the spine, a frequent source of radiating limb symptoms that can sometimes be addressed through targeted, minimally invasive decompression.
Forward slippage of one vertebra over another, which may cause back pain and nerve symptoms. Treatment is tailored to the degree of slip, stability, and symptoms.
Abnormal curvature of the spine in adults, which can progress and affect posture, balance, and comfort. Modern techniques allow many corrections to be approached with reduced surgical footprint.
Structural malalignment of the neck that can affect posture, function, and quality of life, requiring careful, individualized planning.
A severe forward-flexed neck posture (dropped-head presentation) that interferes with forward gaze, swallowing, and daily activities. Correction is highly individualized.
Traumatic and osteoporotic fractures of the vertebrae, evaluated for stability and neurological risk, with treatment ranging from bracing to surgical stabilization.
Primary and metastatic lesions involving the spine, assessed with a multidisciplinary lens and managed according to tumor type, location, and overall goals of care.
