  • Degenerative Disc Disease

    This condition is a weakening of one or more vertebral discs, which normally act as a cushion between the vertebrae. This condition can develop as a natural part of the aging process, but it may also result from injury to the back. more

  • Herniated Discs

    This rupture of a vertebral disc can be caused by the normal wear of aging or by traumatic injury. A herniated disc can push painfully against a nerve root, sending pain down the sciatic nerve and resulting in a burning, tingling, and/or numbing sensation from the lower back down to one or both feet. more

  • Scoliosis

    About two percent of people are affected by this deformation of the spine, which causes the normally straight spine to curve. more

  • Spinal Stenosis

    Spinal stenosis results from new bone and soft tissue growth on the vertebrae, which reduces the space in the spinal canal. When the nerve roots are pinched, a painful burning, tingling and /or numbing sensation is felt from the lower back down to the legs and sometimes all the way to the feet. more
