Chronic Pain Syndromes
Chronic pain may persist for months or even years and can significantly affect daily activities. Different treatment options may help reduce pain and improve function and quality of life.
Common Conditions That May Benefit From Our Treatments
Our approach focuses on the evaluation and management of conditions related to chronic pain, musculoskeletal injuries, and disorders of the spine. After an individualized evaluation, the most appropriate treatment options are discussed with each patient.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve is compressed at the wrist. It may cause pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness in the hand and fingers.
Pain From Herniated Discs
A herniated disc can cause localized pain or irritation of nearby nerves. Depending on its location, pain may radiate into the arms or legs.
Non-Displaced Vertebral Fractures
Some vertebral fractures can cause significant pain without displacement of the affected vertebra. Treatment depends on the cause, severity, and overall condition of the patient.
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)
CRPS is a persistent pain condition that usually affects an arm or leg after an injury, surgery, or other event. It may also cause changes in sensitivity, temperature, skin color, or swelling.
Neurogenic Claudication
Neurogenic claudication may occur when nerves in the lumbar spine become compressed. It can cause pain, heaviness, weakness, or numbness in the legs, particularly while walking or standing.
Radiculopathy
Radiculopathy occurs when a spinal nerve root becomes irritated or compressed. Symptoms may include pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness that radiates into the arms or legs.
Joint Pain
Pain in the shoulders, hips, knees, and other joints may be associated with inflammation, degeneration, injury, or other musculoskeletal conditions.
Spinal Stenosis
Spinal stenosis occurs when the spaces within the spine become narrowed, potentially placing pressure on nearby nerves and causing pain, weakness, or numbness.
Sciatica
Sciatica refers to pain associated with irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve. It commonly begins in the lower back or buttock and may travel down one leg.
Neck, Thoracic, and Lower Back Pain
Pain in the neck, mid-back, or lower back can have many causes, including muscle injuries, joint problems, degenerative changes, or disorders affecting the spinal discs.
