The back conditions we treat include the following:
Low back problems (acute and chronic)
Back pain is the most common problem that brings people into the doctor's office. It's not always possible to know what causes back pain, especially if it isn't related to a recent injury. Spinal conditions may cause back pain as well as muscle sprains and strains. At Pain Resources, we'll help you find the treatment options that are best for you.
Post-laminectomy syndrome/failed back surgery syndrome
The failure of traditional back surgery can be a huge disappointment. Failed back surgery syndrome has many causes. If your surgery didn't relieve the problem or you experience continuous pain after the surgery, you don't have to live with the chronic pain. Our experts can develop a plan utilizing the latest technology and therapies for pain control to help you regain mobility and enjoy being active again.
Lumbar Disc Herniation
The discs in your spine serve as the shock absorbers or cushions to minimize the impact of movement of your spine. These discs can break down over time. If a disc is ruptured or herniated, it can press directly on the spinal cord and adjacent nerve tissues, resulting in pain that radiates outward from the spine. Pain that runs down the leg is referred to as sciatic pain. Our doctors can diagnose the severity of your pain and recommend the treatment to help eliminate it.
Sciatica
Injury to the sciatic nerve frequently causes pain that runs down the outer thigh or down the back of the leg and is referred to as sciatica. With this chronic pain condition, you have to deal with daily pain resulting in the lack of mobility. There are a number of new treatments that offer real hope for those with sciatica. Call us to learn more about sciatica treatment.
Sacroiliac Joint Pain
The sacroiliac joint is formed where your pelvis meets your sacrum. The sacroiliac joint serves as a shock absorber for the spine. This joint can become inflamed and result in pain located in the back and, when severe, can radiate into the leg.

The neck conditions we treat include the following:
Neck pain, both acute and chronic
Whatever its cause, you know that your neck pain has a big impact on the quality of your life. Neck pain has many causes that can range from accidents, trauma, stress, pinched nerves, arthritis, or muscle strains. It's often difficult to know for certain what's causing pain. Depending upon the cause, our Pain Resources team can help create a treatment plan with new technologies so you can enjoy life again.
Peripheral entrapment pain and whiplash injury
Symptoms associated with nerve and soft tissue conditions are difficult to live with. Peripheral entrapment or a trapped nerve is caused by physical compression, producing distant nerve pain symptoms. An example is whiplash of the neck when injured in a motor vehicle accident. The damage to the bone structures and soft tissues can be a chronic condition. When conservative treatments fail, Pain Resources can help.
Chest wall pain: acute and chronic
The chest wall includes the skin, ribs, and muscles that surround the ribs. Several conditions can cause the skin, muscles, bones, tendons, soft tissue, and cartilage of the chest to become painful. Any kind of trauma, including recent surgery, can cause the chest wall to hurt. Finding the cause of your chest pain can be challenging. Our goal is to find the cause and help you find relief.

Hip Pain
The hip conditions we treat include the following:
Hip and joint pain/osteo-arthritis/trochanteric bursitis
Hip pain is most frequently related to degeneration, injury, or inflammation of the muscles, bones, joints, and tendons in the hip area. Common causes of hip pain include arthritis, bursitis, bone fractures, muscle spasms and strains. Hip pain can also result from disorders like sciatica or herniated discs that cause pain to radiate from the spine and back. Call us to learn how we can help you find relief from this pain.
