Lower Back Pain: Conditions We Treat

Lumbar Disc Herniation

A bulging or ruptured disc in the lower back pressing on a nerve, causing back pain and sciatica down the leg.

Spinal Stenosis

Narrowing of the spinal canal that squeezes nerves, typically causing leg pain, heaviness or numbness when walking that eases on sitting or bending forward.

Spondylolisthesis

One vertebra slipping forward over the one below, causing back pain and sometimes nerve compression in the legs.

Sciatica

Pain radiating from the lower back or buttock down the back of the leg, caused by irritation of the sciatic nerve roots.

Facet Joint Syndrome

Back or neck pain from arthritic or irritated small joints at the back of the spine, often worse on leaning back or twisting.

Acute Low Back Strain

Sudden low back pain after lifting, twisting or sports, usually from strained muscles and ligaments.

Chronic Lower Back Pain

Back pain lasting more than three months, usually from a combination of joint, disc and muscle factors that needs a structured plan.

Persistent Pain After Spine Surgery

Ongoing back or leg pain after spine surgery, often due to scar tissue (adhesions) around nerves, which may respond to adhesiolysis.
