“Ergonomics” refers to the manner in which individuals use their bodies to perform home- and work-related tasks.

Epidural Steroid Injections (ESIs) are a common method of treating inflammation associated with low back related leg pain, or neck related arm pain.

These methods of treatment are used to alter soft tissue temperatures or to influence subcutaneous cellular activity to enhance vascularity, tissue flexibility and local nutrition.

These joints can become unstable and painful for several reasons—and one cause is a rare genetic condition called Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS).

Certain drugs are used to treat specific types of pain and its causes, such as inflammation or muscle spasms.

Drop foot and foot drop are interchangeable terms that describe an abnormal neuromuscular (nerve and muscle) disorder that affects the patient's ability to raise their foot at the ankle.

Low back pain is a common condition. It can be caused by lumbar sprain, spinal stenosis, disc herniation, and different degenerative spinal disorders. The term discogenic pain means one or more intervertebral discs are the pain source.

Like any part of the body, the spine can become infected. Although spinal infections are uncommon, when they occur, they can be devastating.

If the disc herniates near the spinal canal, the nucleus can squeeze out and put pressure on the spinal canal or nerve, causing symptoms that radiate away from the herniation.

As part of the normal aging process, progressive changes develop in the discs that cushion each vertebra.
