Neck and Back Pain

      Persistent neck and back pain are quite common in the population and usually involve a condition in the spine known as spondylosis. This comes from degenerative changes over time causing the joints of the spine (facets) to be pushed together due to drying out of the disks, allowing the vertebral bones to become closer together.
      Also when the disks become compressed the fibrous rings around the disks known as the annulus, can develop fissures or tears which can also be quite painful.
Back pain then, can be the result of one of either conditions or both at the same time.
      These conditions are easily treatable using safe, minimally invasive outpatient procedures done in the office. There is minimal down time and these procedures, usually a few diagnostic nerve blocks, are used to determine the precise source of pain generation.
