Symptoms

Accurate diagnosis is key to effective treatment. We’re here to help you understand your symptoms.

Your spine is an incredibly important part of how your body functions and is incredibly complex. It branches off into thirty-one pairs of nerve roots that serve various areas of your body, which is why spine pain often leads to seemingly unrelated pain in other areas of your body. This is also what makes an accurate diagnosis and understanding of the underlying cause of your pain crucial.

However complicated your condition may be, we’ll help you understand it so you can get the lasting pain relief you’ve been searching for.

Overview of Common Symptoms

An in-depth understanding of your condition is necessary for you to get the best treatment. Click on the links below to learn more about the most common spine conditions.

Annular Tears

Annular Tears

Over time, the outer part of the spinal disc can break down from daily wear and tear as a result of age or injury. This leads to the development of annular tears, which can allow the nucleus pulposus to leak out of the disc, causing irritation and inflammation of surrounding nerves. These tears are known to be an underlying cause of many common conditions and can cause pain in both the back and extremities.

Chronic Back Pain

Chronic Back Pain

This condition affects 80% of adults in the US and often becomes debilitating and disabling. Although chronic back pain is common, diagnosing the underlying cause is anything but simple. Your symptoms will vary depending on the area of your spine that is affected and the underlying cause of your back pain. To get the most effective treatment for chronic back pain, accurate diagnosis is crucial.

Herniated Disc

Herniated Disc

A herniated disc occurs when the inner portion of a spinal disc protrudes through a tear in the outer layer of the disc. When this happens, the inner part of the spinal disc may compress or pinch surrounding nerves, causing back pain as well as pain referred to other areas of your body, such as sciatic pain.

Joint Pain

Joint Pain

Joint pain can range from the inability to use a finger due to pain in a joint to being unable to walk because of severe hip or knee pain. This condition is often characterized by a mechanical type of pain that can be relieved by not moving or unrelenting nerve pain that never reaches a comfortable state and interferes with all activities, including sleep.

Musculoskeletal

Leaky Disc Syndrome

Leaky disc syndrome is a term that refers to pain and symptoms caused by leaking from the spinal disc as a result of annular tears. When the spinal disc leaks, it can cause pain and discomfort in the lower back, legs, neck, or arms. Many patients don’t realize that these symptoms may be connected to a spine issue.

Sciatica

Sciatica

Most adults are familiar with sciatica pain, which is characterized by pain that runs from the lower back, through the buttocks, and down the back of the leg. However, sciatica refers to symptoms rather than a specific condition. In fact, sciatica is usually a secondary symptom of another condition.
