The diagnosis index
Conditions we treat
From common disc problems to complex deformity — 23 conditions, each beginning with a definitive diagnosis before any treatment plan.
Back Pain
One of the most common complaints among adults — from a short-lived strain to a sign of a deeper spinal disorder.
Cervical Stenosis & Myelopathy
Narrowing in the neck that compresses the spinal cord, with symptoms that tend to worsen over time.
Cervical Radiculopathy
Nerve damage from compressed nerve roots in the neck, causing pain and numbness in the arms and hands.
Spinal Stenosis
Narrowing of the spinal canal that compresses the cord or nerves.
Cervical Strain
A stretched or torn neck muscle or tendon, often from whiplash or another sudden trauma.
Degenerative Disc Disease
Age-related wear that thins the spinal discs and reduces their shock-absorbing capacity.
Degenerative Spondylolisthesis
A vertebra slipping out of alignment as arthritis and wear destabilize the spine.
Neck Pain
From muscle strain to disc degeneration in the cervical spine.
Flatback Syndrome
Loss of the lower spine’s natural curve, pushing the body’s balance forward.
Spondylolisthesis
A vertebra slipping forward over the one beneath it.
Herniated Disc
One of the most common spine issues, caused by disc material pushing through a tear in its outer casing.
Scoliosis & Spinal Deformity
Abnormal curvature of the spine in adolescents and adults.
Kyphosis
An abnormal, forward-facing rounded curvature of the back, also known as Scheuermann’s disease.
Synovial Cyst of the Spine
A fluid-filled sac from a facet joint pressing on spinal nerves.
Lumbar Radiculopathy
Pain and inflammation from a compressed nerve root in the low back, often radiating down the sciatic nerve.
Vertebral Compression Fractures
Collapsed vertebrae, most often from osteoporosis.
Lumbar Spinal Stenosis
Narrowing of the low-back spinal canal that compresses nerves and the spinal cord.
Post-Laminectomy Syndrome
An unsatisfactory outcome after laminectomy surgery — also called failed back syndrome.
Sciatica
Radiating pain along the sciatic nerve, from the lower back through the hips and down the leg.
Scoliosis
An abnormal, sideways curvature of the spine that tends to worsen if left untreated.
Spinal Deformities
Abnormal alignment or curvature of the spine — including scoliosis, kyphosis, lordosis, and spondylolisthesis.
Synovial Cyst of the Spine
A fluid-filled sac from a degenerating facet joint that can compress nearby nerves.
Post-Laminectomy Syndrome
Persistent pain after previous back surgery — also called failed back syndrome.
