Neck & Back
Neck, low back, and middle back conditions can affect your ability to work, exercise, or sleep. Your treatment will vary depending on the cause and severity of your symptoms.
- Compression fracture: This occurs when a vertebra weakens and collapses, often due to osteoporosis or trauma. It can cause sudden or ongoing back pain and changes in posture.
- Disc injuries: The discs between your vertebrae cushion and support your spine. An injured or damaged disc can cause neck or back pain and may irritate nearby nerves.
- Facet syndrome: This develops when the small joints connecting the vertebrae become irritated or damaged. Symptoms may include localized pain, stiffness, and discomfort with certain movements.
- Herniated disc: A herniated disc occurs when material inside a spinal disc pushes through its outer layer. If it presses on a nerve, you may experience pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness.
- Kyphosis: This is defined by an excessive forward curvature of the upper spine. Severe cases may cause pain, stiffness, or difficulty standing upright.
- Myelopathy: Myelopathy occurs when the spinal cord is compressed, causing problems with balance, coordination, strength, or sensation.
- Post-laminectomy syndrome: Some patients continue to experience pain after spinal surgery. This syndrome may involve persistent back or neck pain, nerve symptoms, or both.
- Radiculopathy: This occurs when a spinal nerve becomes compressed or irritated, causing pain to travel from the neck or back into an arm or leg.
- Sciatica: This is pain caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve. It typically causes pain in the lower back or buttocks that travels down the leg.
- Scoliosis: Scoliosis causes an abnormal sideways curvature of the spine. Treatment depends on the degree of curvature, symptoms, and how the condition affects your daily life.
- Spinal cord injuries: Damage to the spinal cord can affect your movement, sensation, and other functions below the injury site. These injuries require specialized evaluation and treatment.
- Spondylolisthesis: This occurs when one vertebra slips forward over another, resulting in lower back pain, stiffness, or nerve-related symptoms in the leg.
- Stenosis: This narrowing of the spinal canal puts pressure on the cord or nerve, causing pain, numbness, weakness, or difficulty walking.
Knee & Foot
- ACL tear: The anterior cruciate ligament helps stabilize the knee. A tear often occurs during sudden stops, changes in direction, or awkward landings.
- Ankle fractures: These breaks involve one or more bones surrounding the ankle joint, causing pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty putting weight on the foot.
- Chondromalacia (runner’s knee): Chondromalacia involves irritation or deterioration of the cartilage beneath the kneecap. It commonly causes pain at the front of the knee while climbing stairs, squatting, or sitting.
- Foot pain: Foot pain can result from an injury, overuse, inflammation, or structural problem. Identifying where and when the pain occurs can help determine its cause.
- MCL tear: The medial collateral ligament supports the inner knee. It can become sprained or torn when force pushes the knee inward.
- Meniscus tear: The meniscus is cartilage that cushions the knee joint. Tears may occur suddenly during twisting movements or develop gradually with wear.
- PCL tear: The posterior cruciate ligament helps keep the knee stable. These injuries often result from a forceful impact on the front of a bent knee.
Shoulder
Your shoulder has a wide range of motion, but that mobility can also make it vulnerable to injury. Shoulder conditions may cause pain, weakness, stiffness, or difficulty reaching and lifting.
- Frozen shoulder: Frozen shoulder causes increasing pain and stiffness that can significantly limit movement. Symptoms often develop gradually.
- Rotator cuff tear: The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder. A tear can result from an injury or gradual wear.
- Shoulder dislocation: A dislocation occurs when the upper arm bone comes out of the shoulder socket. Prompt treatment is important to restore the joint and check for related injuries.
- Shoulder labral tear: The labrum helps stabilize the shoulder joint. A tear may cause pain, instability, clicking, or catching during movement.
- Superior labrum anterior to posterior (SLAP) tear: A SLAP tear affects the upper portion of the shoulder labrum where the biceps tendon attaches. It can develop after an injury or repetitive overhead activity.
Hand, Wrist & Elbow
Hand, wrist,
and elbow
pain can limit your ability to work, type, drive, or grip everyday objects.
Common conditions treated include:
- Arm Fracture: This is a break in the bone between the shoulder and wrist, usually from a fall or direct impact.
- Elbow fracture: These often occur after a fall or direct blow. Common symptoms include pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty bending or straightening the arm.
- Hand and wrist fractures: Fractures of the hand or wrist can affect the small bones that allow for precise movement. Proper treatment helps restore alignment, strength, and function.
- Hand and wrist pain: Ongoing pain in the hand or wrist can be caused by arthritis, overuse, nerve compression such as carpal tunnel syndrome, or another underlying condition. An evaluation can help identify the source and determine the appropriate treatment.
Hip
Hip pain can make walking, sitting, and sleeping difficult. Two conditions that can cause pain around the hip and pelvis include:
- Hip Labral Tear: The labrum is a ring of cartilage that helps stabilize the hip joint. A tear may cause pain, stiffness, clicking, or a catching sensation with movement.
- Sacroiliac joint dysfunction: The sacroiliac joint connects the lower spine and pelvis. Irritation or abnormal movement in these joints can cause lower back, buttock, or hip pain.
