Comprehensive Spine Care

We offer a multidisciplinary approach for the management of degenerative and trauma-related clinical disorders affecting the spine and resulting in low back pain, neck, and neurological dysfunction involving the spinal cord and peripheral nerves.

Spine Clinic

Exercise Therapy

Interventional Spine

Spine Surgery

At Northwest Spine Center, patients receive a wide range of diagnostic services and treatment options, including non-surgical and surgical alternatives. Among non-surgical therapeutic modalities, our center provides guidance and clinical activities including exercise and physical therapy as well as interventional spine procedures for pain management.

At times, more severe degenerative or traumatic spine disorders result in persistent pain and/or neurological deficits which have a significant impact on a patient's quality of life and ability to enjoy normal daily activities. In many cases, conservative measures do not provide improvement or relief of symptoms for patients. In some of these cases, spine surgery can produce positive changes in one's symptoms leading to an increase in one's ability to function and return to a productive life.

Neck & Back Pain

Back and neck pain is when you feel soreness, discomfort, or aching in your back or neck. This can happen for many reasons, like sitting too long, lifting something heavy, or sleeping in a bad position. It’s a common issue and can make it hard to move around comfortably.

Herniated Discs

A herniated disc happens when one of the soft, gel-like cushions between the bones in your spine (called discs) that tears and/or gets pushed out of place. It's like a jelly doughnut where the filling squeezes out. This can press on nearby nerves and cause pain, numbness, or weakness in your back, legs, or arms.

Degenerative Disc Disease

Degenerative disc disease is when the cushions between the bones in your spine, called discs, start to wear out over time. These discs act like shock absorbers, so when they break down, you might feel pain or stiffness in your back or neck. It’s a bit like the padding in a chair wearing thin, making the chair less comfortable.

Radiculopathy

Radiculopathy is a condition where a nerve in your spine gets pinched or irritated. This can cause pain, tingling, or weakness that travels from your back or neck down into your arms or legs. Imagine a nerve getting squeezed like a garden hose, leading to problems in the areas the nerve controls.

Spinal Stenosis

Spinal stenosis is a condition where the spaces in your spine canal narrows, putting pressure on your spinal cord or nerves. Think of it like a tunnel getting squeezed, which can cause pain, numbness, or weakness in your back, legs, or arms. It often happens as you get older and can make it harder to move around comfortably.

Myelopathy

Myelopathy is a term used to describe a problem with the spinal cord that causes symptoms like weakness, numbness, or difficulty with movement. It often happens when something puts pressure on the spinal cord, like a herniated disc or arthritis. Essentially, it’s when the spinal cord gets squeezed or irritated, leading to issues with how your body feels and moves.

Sciatica

Sciatica is a type of pain that travels down the sciatic nerve, which runs from your lower back through your hips and buttocks and down each leg. It usually happens when the nerve is irritated or compressed, often due to a herniated disc or spinal stenosis. This can cause pain, numbness, or weakness in your lower back, buttocks, and legs. The discomfort can range from mild to severe and might only affect one side of your body.
