Spine — the body’s axis
Diagnosis and treatment of back and spine pain
80% of people will have back pain at some point. It doesn’t always mean surgery. I focus on the mechanical cause and start with conservative options that give real relief.
Herniated disc & sciatica
Sharp pain with electric sensation
Disc compresses the nerve sending pain down the leg. Most improve with meds, physio, or injections.
Surgery only if no relief or if strength is lost.
Lumbar stenosis
Narrow canal in 60+
Leg pain or heaviness when walking that improves when sitting or bending (shopping cart sign).
We aim to free space for nerves to improve quality of life.
Mechanical low back pain
Posture/overuse
Localized pain from posture, overload, or weak core.
Postural retraining, core strengthening, and acute pain control.
Integrated vision
One weak link can trigger another: a bad footstep affects your knee, a stiff hip causes back pain. I look for the biomechanical source to give a definitive solution.
