Back Pain

About 80% of adults experience back pain at some point in their lives. Back pain is one of the most common reasons people go to the doctor. It is the most common cause of job-related disability, and a leading contributor to missed workdays. 

There are many causes of lower back pain. Luckily, back pains rarely require surgery and can be treated with conservative measures and interventional treatment options.

Compression Fractures

Compression fractures cause severe, quick onset pain typically in the mid to lower back. Elder patients, especially those with osteoporosis, are at risk of compression fractures. Compression fractures can easily be identified on imaging and if acute, an outpatient interventional procedure can oftentimes provide immediate relief.

Neck Pain

Neck pain is a common complaint affecting much of the adult population. Approximately 30%-50% experience some form of neck pain each year, with 50%-85% never receiving the symptomatic relief they require.

Common causes of neck pain originate from strained or inflamed muscles. Arthritis, including osteoarthritis and other causes of arthritis, can cause more severe forms of neck pain, especially within elderly individuals. Some pain may persist despite previous surgical interventions.

Neuropathy

Neuropathy is damage or dysfunction of one or more nerves, typically resulting in numbness, tingling, muscle weakness and pain in the affected area.

Joint Pain

Joint pain can be discomfort, pain or inflammation arising from any part of a joint including cartilage, bone, ligaments, tendons, or muscles. Most commonly, however, joint pain refers to arthritis within the joint itself. Degeneration and pain can occur from the individual joints in our spine to the large joints in
our upper and lower extremities.
