Back Pain 

Back pain can arise for a variety of reasons.

Herniated Discs 

The diagnosis of a herniated disc can often be suspected from a simple description of a patient’s symptoms and a physical examination.

EpiDural Steroid Injections 

An epidural injection delivers steroids into the epidural space around spinal nerve roots to relieve pain – back pain, leg pain, or other pain — caused by irritated spinal nerves.

Adult Scoliosis 

Scoliosis is defined as a side-to-side curvature from the normal frontal view of the body. In actuality, the deformity occurs in three planes: front-back, side to side, and bottom-top.

Acruplasty - A Minimally Invasive Option for the Treatment of Spinal Fractures 

Vertebral compression fractures will number in excess of 500,000 this year.
