Spinal disorders or injuries that cause nerve compression or damage may cause Neurogenic Bladder Disorder (NBD); also termed Bladder Dysfunction.

Nerves are fragile and can be damaged by pressure, stretching, or cutting.

The seven bones of the spinal column in your neck (cervical vertebrae) are connected to each other by ligaments and muscles—strong bands of tissue that act like thick rubber bands.

A pain-free neck is a lot like the carefree days of our youth — we don’t appreciate it ‘til it's gone.

The neck has a significant amount of motion and supports the weight of the head. However, because it is less protected than the rest of the spine, the neck can be vulnerable to injury and disorders that produce pain and restrict motion.

Minimally invasive techniques for spine surgery were initiated in the 1980’s and have evolved and improved in the past three decades thanks to technical innovations.

A microdiscectomy is useful to relieve pain due to a disc herniation that is pressing on a nerve.

Living with chronic back or neck pain can lead to depression, feelings of stress, anxiety, sadness, and other mental health-related symptoms.

Medications can play a useful role in patients with spine pain when used in conjunction with rehabilitation, spinal injections, and/or surgery.

Many clinicians including osteopathic physicians, chiropractors, physical therapists and massage therapists have undergone specialized training to develop the skill-sets to evaluate and treat patients with spinal disorders using various hands-on techniques.
