Lower Back Pain
The lumbar region is the area of the back that starts below the ribcage. Nearly everyone experiences low back pain at some moment in life. These might range from a dull ache to a stabbing or shooting sensation.
Cervical Stenosis
Cervical stenosis typically develops gradually over time. It is most commonly caused by osteoarthritis or “wear-and-tear” changes as you age. You may not show symptoms in the early stages of your growth, but with tests and X-rays, early detection can be possible.
Cervical myelopathy
Cervical myelopathy is a condition describing a compression of the spinal cord at the cervical level of the spinal column resulting in spasticity (sustained muscle contractions), hyperreflexia, and or pathologic reflexes.
Cervical Radiculopathy
This condition is a contraction of nerve roots in the cervical spine. Because these nerves traverse the shoulders, arms, and hands, any damage to the cervical spine can cause symptoms in these areas.
neck pain
Daily use of poor posture from leaning over a computer or hunching over a workbench can strain the neck muscles. Because the neck supports the head’s weight, it can be at risk of injuries and conditions that cause pain and limit movement.
Herniated Discs
Most herniated disks occur in the lower back, but they can also occur in the neck. Indications and symptoms rely on where the disk is situated and whether the disk is pressing on a nerve.
Spinal Tumors
A spinal tumor is an irregular development of cells along the spinal structure. Spinal tumors can be benign or malignant. Spinal tumors are classified by the area it appears on the spine. Visit our Beverly Hills Orthopedic clinic for a complete evaluation if you are experiencing severe back pain.
Spondylolysis
Spondylolysis happens when an issue is caused in the spine by a minor fracture between two vertebrae. Spondylolysis can cause back pain but is typically treatable with therapy or medication. Treatments for Spondylolysis can be done without the need for surgery.
Sciatica
The sciatic nerve travels from the lower back through the hips and buttocks and down each leg. Sciatica pain can be anywhere along the nerve pathway, although pain can vary from mild stiff pain to sharp burning pain. Common Sciatica cases can be relieved with a few treatments from BH Orthopedics.
