Back pain is one of the most common causes of pain among adults. It can interfere with your overall mental state and daily activities such as work, recreation and relaxation. Injuries and underlying health problems can all play a role. Spine problems usually don’t go away on their own, so it’s important to seek care from an expert who can provide an accurate diagnosis and state-of-the-art treatment.

Common spine conditions include:

• cervical stenosis
• complications from a failed spine surgery
• degenerative disc disease
• herniated or ruptured discs
• kyphosis
• lumbar spinal stenosis
• pinched nerves
• radiculopathy
• sciatica
• scoliosis
• spinal fractures
• spine sprains and strains
• spinal stenosis
• spondylolisthesis
