What We Treat – Back Pain Conditions

We specialize in treating a wide variety of spine and back-related conditions, including:

  • Lower Back Pain Pain caused by joint or muscle dysfunction, often worsened by movement or prolonged postures.
  • Herniated or Bulging Discs Disc injuries can cause sharp, radiating pain, numbness, or tingling down the legs (sciatica).
  • Sciatica Irritation of the sciatic nerve leads to pain, weakness, or numbness down the buttock and leg.
  • Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) Age-related disc breakdown causes stiffness, inflammation, and chronic pain.
  • Spinal Stenosis Narrowing of the spinal canal puts pressure on the spinal cord or nerves, often causing pain while walking or standing.
  • Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction Pain in the lower back and pelvis is caused by abnormal movement or inflammation of the SI joint.
  • Facet Joint Syndrome Inflammation or arthritis in the spine’s small joints leads to stiffness and localized back pain.
  • Postural Dysfunction Poor posture, often resulting from incorrect sitting, standing, or lifting habits, is common among office workers and drivers.
  • Spondylolisthesis A spinal vertebra slips forward over the bone below it, causing instability and pain, often in the lower back.
  • Myofascial Pain Syndrome Muscle pain is caused by sensitive trigger points in the back muscles.
  • Back Pain After Pregnancy (Postpartum) Hormonal and structural changes that occur during and after pregnancy can impact the spine and core stability.
  • Osteoarthritis of the Spine Wear-and-tear on the spinal joints leads to stiffness and pain, especially in older adults.
  • Ankylosing Spondylitis An inflammatory arthritis of the spine that causes stiffness, especially in the morning or after periods of rest.
  • Post-Surgical Spine Rehabilitation Guided recovery programs after spinal surgery (e.g., discectomy, laminectomy, spinal fusion) to rebuild strength and function safely.
