SPINE SIGNS & SYMPTOMS
If you are suffering from neck or low back pain, numbness, tingling or pain in your arms or legs you may have a problem originating from your spine.
​
Spinal stenosis or narrowing of your spinal canal often produces symptoms of back and leg pain with walking a short distance or standing for a short period of time. With rest, this pain quickly resolves. Patients often prefer to lean on a shopping cart when going to the store which opens the spinal canal and helps reduce the pain.
​
Disc herniations are usually of sudden onset and often cause one-sided arm or leg electric shock-like pain and can include numbness, tingling or even weakness in the same distribution.
​
Arthritis of the neck and back may cause localized pain, stiffness in the mornings, increased pain with weather changes and pain with standing for a short period of time. These symptoms increase gradually over time and eventually will cause pain throughout the day.
Our approach:
​
-
Physical therapy will increase your ability to function and stay involved in the activities you enjoy.
-
Diagnostic imaging, along with your symptoms, aids in determining the cause of your pain.
-
Interventional spine procedures utilize steroid medications to reduce inflammation and improve your symptoms. This will allow you to better participate in physical therapy.
-
Surgical intervention may be necessary to correct structural problems.
​
Neck and lower back pain can originate from a number of structures that make up your spine. When you visit our interventional pain management specialty center, our physicians will begin your appointment with a comprehensive neuromuscular exam to diagnose the source of your pain, then provide the most appropriate, effective treatment for your individual problem. On-site imaging, electrodiagnostic testing, and interventional injections are available, if necessary.
