Expect detailed imaging studies, such as MRI or CT scans, to visualize the structure and condition of your spine. Electrodiagnostic testing (EMG, NCV) might be conducted to assess nerve function. A comprehensive physical and neurological examination will be performed to determine the impact of your spinal condition on your mobility and quality of life. In certain cases, diagnostic injections may be used to pinpoint the source of pain.

We may recommend minimally invasive surgical options to address your condition with less pain and quicker recovery times. For more complex conditions, traditional open surgery might be necessary to decompress nerves or stabilize the spine. Non-surgical treatments, including physical therapy and pain management strategies, will be explored as first-line options or adjuncts to surgical care. Innovative treatments like artificial disc replacement or spinal cord stimulation may be considered for suitable candidates.

Regular follow-up visits will be scheduled to monitor your progress and adjust treatment plans as needed. Adherence to a personalized physical therapy program is crucial for improving strength and flexibility. You’ll be advised on lifestyle modifications, such as ergonomic adjustments and activity modifications, to support spinal health. Pain management techniques, including medication, injections, or alternative therapies, will be tailored to your needs, aiming to improve your quality of life.
