Advanced Solutions for Spinal Health
Back and neck pain can severely limit your quality of life. At Apex Specialty Care, our neurosurgeons offer state-of-the-art treatments for a variety of spinal conditions, prioritizing minimally invasive techniques whenever possible.
Herniated Discs
The spinal discs act as shock absorbers. When the jelly-like center pushes through the tough outer ring, it presses against nerves, causing pain.
- Symptoms: Numbness, weakness in legs/feet, shooting pain down the leg (sciatica).
- Treatments: Physical therapy, cortisone injections, microdiscectomy, artificial disc replacement.
Degenerative Disc Disease
A natural part of aging where spinal discs lose hydration and flexibility.
- Symptoms: Radiating pain, worsening pain when bending or lifting.
- Treatments: Pain management, steroid injections, spinal fusion, disc replacement.
Bulging Discs
Often caused by bad posture, age, or injury, where the disc extends outside its normal boundaries without rupturing.
- Treatments: Heat/cold therapy, medication, laser spine surgery, minimally invasive decompression.
