Lumbar Degenerative Disc Disease
Discs are normally soft and cushion the spine during stress. Degeneration of these lumbar discs is characterized by a decrease in water content, loss of height, and frequently protrusion from the disc space into spaces normally occupied by the nerves and spinal cord.
Lumbar Facet Arthritis
The facet joints are the joint structures that connect the vertebrae to one another. Lumbar facet disease occurs when there is degeneration of the facet joint.
Lumbar Foraminal Stenosis
Lumbar foraminal stenosis refers to narrowing of the regions that surround the nerves which exit the spine.
Lumbar Herniated Disc
Discs are normally soft and cushion the spine during stress. The discs are “intervertebral discs” meaning they are typically contained in between the vertebral bodies (bones of the spine). A lumbar herniated disc occurs when a disc is no longer contained completely between the intervertebral space.
Lumbar Pinched Nerve
A lumbar pinched nerve refers to compression of the nerve anywhere along its course. Typically folks refer to “pinching” when the nerve is compressed within the spinal canal or as it exits the neuroforamen of the spine.
Lumbar Radiculitis
A pinched nerve refers to compression of the nerve anywhere along its course. Typically folks refer to “piching” when the nerve is compressed within the spinal canal or as it exits the neuroforamen of the spine.
Lumbar Stenosis
Lumbar stenosis refers to narrowing of the regions that surround the nerves which exit the spine.
Sciatica
Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve — which branches from your lower back through your hips and buttocks and down each leg. Typically, sciatica affects only one side of your body.
Intercostal Neuralgia
Intercostal neuralgia refers to irritation of the nerves that run along each rib in the thoracic region.
Rib Pain
Rib cage pain causes one to feel a sudden sharp, dull or achy feeling on or below the chest, and in some cases above the navel.
Thoracic Degenerative Disc Disease
The disc is a cartilage, gristle like material that sits between your vertebral bodies in all parts of your spine. Degenerative disc disease can result from trauma (either acute or chronic/repetitive), infection, or the natural processes of aging.
Thoracic Facet Arthritis
Thoracic facet arthritis is a degenerative spine condition that can cause significant back pain and other symptoms if left untreated.
Thoracic Facet Syndrome
Thoracic facet syndrome is a degenerative spine condition that can cause significant back pain and other symptoms if left untreated.
Thoracic Herniated Disc
Discs are normally soft and cushion the spine during stress. The thoracic discs are “intervertebral discs” meaning they are typically contained in between the vertebral bodies (bones of the spine). A thoracic herniated disc refers to a disc that is no longer contained completely between the intervertebral space.
Thoracic Pain
Thoracic pain refers to pain in the thoracic region. The thoracic region is defined by the thoracic spine, which is made up of the vertebral bodies that have ribs associated with them.
Thoracic Stenosis
Thoracic spinal stenosis is a condition in which the nerves in the thoracic portion of the spinal canal are compressed.
