A diagnosis-first approach to spine pain, neuropathic pain, post-traumatic conditions, and complex pain disorders.
Patient-focused education designed to connect symptoms and diagnoses with appropriate clinical evaluation.
Irritation or compression of a lumbar nerve root can cause low back pain with radiating leg pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness.
A cervical nerve root can produce neck pain with radiating pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness into the shoulder, arm, or hand.
Lumbar facet joints can contribute to persistent axial low back pain, often aggravated by extension, rotation, or prolonged activity.
Cervical facet joints can contribute to axial neck pain and referred pain into the upper back, shoulders, or head.
Vertebrogenic pain arises from vertebral endplates and may be associated with characteristic MRI findings such as Modic type 1 or type 2 changes.
The sacroiliac joint can cause pain below the beltline with referral into the buttock, hip, or upper thigh.
CRPS is a neuropathic pain condition affecting an upper or lower extremity and may include sensory, vasomotor, swelling, sweating, or motor/trophic changes.
Persistent or recurrent spinal or extremity pain can remain after spine surgery and should be reassessed to identify the current pain source.
Peripheral nerve injury or dysfunction can cause focal burning, electric, shooting, hypersensitive, or numb pain.
Headache can begin after trauma to the head or neck and may resemble migraine, tension-type headache, cervicogenic headache, or a mixed pattern.
Lumbar canal narrowing can cause leg pain, heaviness, numbness, or weakness with standing and walking, often relieved by sitting or forward flexion.
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy can cause chronic burning, tingling, numbness, and pain, most commonly in the feet and lower legs.
Acceleration-deceleration forces can affect cervical muscles, ligaments, facet joints, discs, and nerves. Whiplash describes a mechanism and symptom complex—not one single pain generator.
Start with a focused evaluation. We’ll review your symptoms, examination findings, prior care, and imaging when appropriate to help identify the most likely pain source.
