Back Pain
Cervical Spine
Cervical Spondylosis
Cervical spondylosis is a type of degenerative disease that affects your neck. Normally, soft disks between the bones in your spine (called vertebrae) provide cushioning. With cervical spondylosis, these disks become squeezed (compressed).

Chronic Pain Syndrome
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
Complex regional pain syndrome is an abnormal response by the body to pain. The nerve endings that control pain in an injured part of the body may become too sensitive to the chemical messengers carried by the sympathetic nervous system.

Disk Degeneration
Disk Herniation
Lumbar Disk Disease (Herniated Disk)
Lumbar disk disease occurs when the spongy disks between the vertebrae bulge out or rupture. Lumbar disk disease is caused by a change in the structure of the normal disk. Most of the time, disk disease happens as a result of aging and the normal break down that occurs within the disk.

Radiofrequency Ablation
Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy
Sympathetic Nerve Blocks for Pain

Sacroiliac Joint Pain
Therapeutic Pain Blocks
If you don't get relief from standard pain relievers, you doctor may suggest injecting pain-relieving medicine into the site of the affected nerve. This injection will block the pain signals the nerve would otherwise send to your brain. If your brain doesn't receive this message of alarm, you won't feel the pain you would normally feel.

Sciatica
Sciatica
Sciatica, also called lumbar radiculopathy, is a pain that originates along your sciatic nerve, the largest nerve in the body. The pain extends from the back of your pelvis down the back of your thigh.

Spinal Compression Fractures
Compression Fracture
A compression fracture is a type of break in the bones in your back that stack up to form your spine. A compression fracture can cause back pain, limited movement, a decrease in height, and a stopped over posture. It often develops as a result of osteoporosis.

Trochanteric Bursitis
