Common Conditions Related FAQs

Arm or leg pain is commonly caused by nerve compression from conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or bone spurs. When a spinal nerve becomes irritated or pinched, the pain can travel (radiate) into the arms or legs, often accompanied by tingling or weakness.

If you experience sharp, shooting pain along with numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness, it often indicates a spinal nerve issue. A proper evaluation including imaging such as MRI or X-ray can confirm the cause.

Back pain can arise from muscle strain, disc herniation, arthritis, degenerative disc disease, or spinal injuries. Lifestyle factors such as poor posture, heavy lifting, and prolonged sitting can also contribute to chronic back issues.

Myelopathy is spinal cord compression that affects balance, coordination, and fine motor skills. It is a progressive condition, and without timely treatment, symptoms can worsen and lead to permanent nerve damage.

FBSS occurs when pain continues or returns after a previous spine surgery. This can result from scar tissue, incomplete decompression, spinal instability, or incorrect initial diagnosis.

Yes. Treatment usually involves antibiotics, IV therapy, or surgical cleaning and stabilization if the infection is advanced. Early treatment is essential to prevent long-term complications.

We treat scoliosis, kyphosis, flat-back syndrome, and postural deformities in both adults and adolescents. These conditions may cause visible curvature, back pain, or nerve compression.

Mild cases may respond to bracing, posture correction, and physical therapy. Severe or progressive deformities often require surgical correction to restore alignment and function.

Significant spinal cord compression typically requires surgical decompression to prevent further neurological decline. Surgery helps restore function and stops the condition from progressing.

Inflammatory conditions such as ankylosing spondylitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriatic arthritis can cause chronic back pain and stiffness. These disorders may eventually lead to spinal deformity or nerve compression if untreated.

Treatment may involve medications to reduce inflammation, physical therapy to restore mobility, and injections for pain relief. In advanced cases, surgery may be required to correct deformity or stabilize the spine.

Treatment depends on whether the tumor is benign or malignant. Options include surgical removal, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination. Early evaluation is essential for the best outcomes.

Spondylolisthesis occurs when one vertebra slips forward over the one below it, often due to degeneration, stress fractures, or congenital defects. It can cause lower back pain, stiffness, and nerve compression.

Spinal fractures can result from trauma, falls, car accidents, sports injuries, or conditions like osteoporosis. These injuries may affect stability and can cause severe pain or nerve damage.

Spinal infections may cause severe back pain, fever, chills, and sometimes neurological symptoms. Patients may also notice swelling, stiffness, or worsening pain at night or during rest.
