Your Journey to Relief: Step by Step
Your journey begins here. Contact us to schedule your initial consultation with one of our spine specialists. Our friendly staff will guide you through the process and set up your appointment.
During your visit, our diagnostic process begins with a thorough examination. We'll review your medical history, assess your range of motion, and evaluate any areas of pain or discomfort. If necessary, we may recommend imaging tests such as X-rays or MRIs to get a clearer picture of your condition.
Based on our comprehensive evaluation, we'll develop a tailored treatment plan designed to address your specific needs. This may include non-invasive therapies, minimally invasive procedures, or advanced surgical options when necessary. Our goal is to create a path to relief that works best for you.

Identify Your Pain
Pinpointing the Source of Your Discomfort
Head & Neck Pain
Causes:
Muscle Strain: Overuse or poor posture can strain neck muscles, leading to pain.
Herniated Discs: Discs in the cervical spine can bulge or rupture, pressing on nerves.
Arthritis: Degenerative diseases like osteoarthritis can cause inflammation and pain.
Injuries: Trauma from accidents or falls can result in acute or chronic neck pain.
Recovery:
Physical Therapy: Targeted exercises can strengthen muscles and improve flexibility.
Medications: Pain relievers and anti-inflammatory drugs can help manage symptoms.
Chiropractic Care: Manual adjustments can alleviate pain and improve alignment.
Lifestyle Changes: Improving posture, using ergonomic devices, and practicing stress management can prevent and reduce pain.
Upper Back Pain
Causes:
Poor Posture: Slouching or hunching can strain muscles and lead to upper back pain.
Muscle Strain: Overuse or repetitive motions can strain muscles in the upper back.
Injury: A fall, accident, or sports injury can damage muscles, ligaments, or bones in the upper back.
Arthritis: Degenerative changes in the spine can cause pain and stiffness in the upper back.
Recovery:
Improve Posture: Practice sitting and standing tall with your shoulders back and relaxed.
Apply Heat/Ice: Alternate heat and ice packs to relieve pain and inflammation.
Gentle Stretching: Regularly stretch the chest, shoulders, and upper back muscles.
Over-the-counter pain relievers: Use Tylenol or ibuprofen to manage pain.
Shoulder Or Clavicle
Causes:
Rotator Cuff Injury: Overuse or tears in the rotator cuff muscles that stabilize your shoulder can cause pain and weakness.
Bursitis: Inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs cushioning your shoulder joint leads to pain and limited movement.
Separated Shoulder: Ligament tears where your collarbone meets your shoulder blade can cause pain, swelling, and instability.
Clavicle Fracture: A broken collarbone results in pain, bruising, and an inability to raise your arm.
Recovery:
Rest & Immobilization: Reduce activity and potentially use a sling for short periods to allow healing.
Ice & Pain Relief: Apply ice packs and use over-the-counter medications to manage pain and inflammation.
Physical Therapy: Exercises prescribed by a physical therapist can improve strength, flexibility, and range of motion.
Time & Patience: Depending on the severity, recovery can take weeks or months. For fractures, complete healing may take 6-8 weeks.
Middle Back Pain
Causes:
Muscle Strain/Sprain: Poor posture, lifting incorrectly, or repetitive motions can strain muscles in your middle back.
Degenerative Issues: Arthritis can cause wear and tear on joints in your spine, leading to pain and stiffness.
Disc Injuries: Herniated discs (where the soft cushion bulges) can press on nerves and cause pain.
Other Causes: Scoliosis (curvature of the spine), impact injuries, or referred pain from organs can also contribute.
Recovery:
Rest and Good Posture: Avoid strenuous activity and practice sitting/standing tall with shoulders back to prevent further strain.
Heat Therapy: Apply a heating pad or warm compress to loosen tight muscles and improve blood flow.
Stretching: Gentle stretches for your chest, shoulders, and upper back can improve flexibility and reduce pain.
Over-the-counter Pain Relief: Medications like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help manage pain.
Lower Back Pain
Causes:
Muscle Strain: This is the most common cause, often due to improper lifting, overuse, or poor posture.
Disc Injuries: The discs between vertebrae can bulge or herniate (slip), putting pressure on nerves and causing pain, numbness, or weakness.
Arthritis: Degenerative changes in the spine due to osteoarthritis or other conditions can lead to stiffness and pain.
Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal can compress nerves and cause pain, numbness, or weakness.
Other Causes: Less common causes include infections, fractures, tumors, and underlying medical conditions.
Recovery:
Rest: Avoid strenuous activity for a few days, but don’t stay in bed for too long as movement is essential for healing.
Over-the-counter pain relievers: Medications like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help manage pain and inflammation.
Ice and Heat Therapy: Apply ice packs for the first few days to reduce inflammation, then switch to heat therapy with a heating pad or warm compress to relax muscles.
