Abdominal Pain

Abdominal pain is one of the most frequent forms of pain among adults and children. Pain in the stomach area can be as simple as a belly ache or it can be life-threatening.

Arachnoiditis

Arachnoiditis is a chronic pain condition caused by inflammation of the arachnoid membrane, which surrounds and protects the spinal cord nerves.

Arthopathy

Arthropathy is a general term for joint disease. Arthropathy could be osteoarthritis or it could also be infectious joint disease such as gout (caused by uric acid crystals), diabetic arthropathy (caused by diabetes) or neuropathic arthropathy, which is associated by a loss of sensation.

Arthritis

Joint pain, stiffness or reduced mobility can be signs of arthritis. Most arthritis causes pain and swelling in the joints. Over time, swollen joints can become severely damaged.

Back Pain (Lumbago/Lumbar Radiculopathy)

Pain in the back can be continuous or intermittent and range from mild to severe. Lower back pain is most common and often affects the lumbar vertebrae.

Cancer Pain

Pain is a common complication of cancer. Many times pain is the initial symptom of cancer or recurrence and spread of cancer (metastasis). Cancer pain is mostly caused by injury/compression of nerves, tissues or bones. We specialize in managing cancer pain through a multi-modal approach.

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), previously termed Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD), is a chronic pain disorder. CRPS typically begins after trauma such as an injury to the tissue, bone or nerves of the arm or leg.

Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD)

Degenerative disc disease (DDD) isn’t a disease, but rather, a term to describe the effects of normal aging and wear and tear of the spinal discs. For some, the normal aging of spinal discs comes with more pain and discomfort.

Facet Pain

Each section of the spine has facet joints, which are located between the vertebrae. When they are located in the neck, they are called cervical facet joints.

Failed Back Surgery Syndrome

After any spine surgery, a percentage of patients still may experience pain. This is called failed back or failed fusion syndrome, which is characterized by uncontrollable pain and an inability to return to normal activities. Surgery may be able to fix the condition but not eliminate the pain.

Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is a disorder that affects the muscles and soft tissue and causes chronic pain and fatigue. It’s characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain that is joined by extreme fatigue, excessive sleep, and memory and mood issues.

Headaches

Identifing the cause and type of headaches you are experiencing is key to determining the best treatment option. Using this information, a treatment plan is developed that may include non-pharmaceutical treatments, such as acupuncture, massage, relaxation techniques, aromatherapy, dietary supplements, as well as other physical therapy treatments.

Herniated disc/Pinched nerve

The bones that make up the spine are cushioned by small, spongy discs. When these discs are healthy, they act as shock absorbers for the spine and keep the spine flexible. But when a disc is damaged, it may bulge or break open. This is called a herniated disc. It also may be called a slipped or ruptured disc.

Muscle/Myofascial Pain

Myofascial pain is a chronic pain condition in which pressure on sensitive or trigger points in the muscle causes pain. This pain, known as referred pain, is often felt in parts of the body seemingly unrelated to the origination area.

Neck Pain (Cervical Radiculopathy/Cervicalgia)

Pain in the neck area can be continuous or intermittent and range from mild to severe. Neck pain is defined as pain that occurs in the cervical vertebrae in your neck.

Phantom Limb Pain

Phantom limb pain is mild to extreme pain felt in the area where a limb has been amputated.

Sacroliitis/Sacroiliac joint pain

Sacroiliitis joint dysfunction is the inflammation of one or both of your sacroiliac joints, which are situated where the lower spine and pelvis connect. Sacroiliitis has been linked to a group of diseases causing inflammatory arthritis in the spine.

Sciatica

The term sciatica describes the symptoms of leg pain—and possibly tingling, numbness or weakness—that originate in the lower back and travel through the buttock and down the large sciatic nerve in the back of each leg.

Shingles

Shingles is a disease caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox. Once a patient has chickenpox, the virus stays in the body, and, as some people age, it may reappear as shingles. Shingles is not contagious – you can’t “catch it.” In about 40 percent of people with shingles, the cornea will be affected.

Sports-related Injuries

Sports injuries result from acute trauma or repetitive stress associated with athletic activities. Sports injuries can affect bones or soft tissue such as ligaments, muscles, and tendons.

Vertebral Compression Fractures

Vertebral compression fractures occur when the bones of the spine become broken due to trauma.

Whiplash Injuries

Whiplash is the stretching or tearing of neck muscles or tendons due to extreme force or impact. The rapid motion of the neck either backwards or forwards strains the neck causing pain, discomfort and, in some cases, immobility.

Work-related Injuries

Work-related injuries occur on the job or as a direct result of the duties assigned to the specific job position.
