Back pain is a common complaint among a variety of patients. Arthritis, headaches, multiple sclerosis, and many other illnesses contribute to back pain as well as injuries. Back pain that does not subside after having sufficient time to heal is termed chronic back pain. Chronic back pain is not due to illness or injury; it is due to the brain’s pain center overreacting. We have a wide array of treatments and medications to control all kinds of back pain.
The knee is the largest joint in the body and supports a lot of weight. Serious injuries to this area require a lot of force, but normal wear and tear may cause pain as well. Bursitis (inflammation of fluid-filled sacs around the joint) is a common overuse injury. Other injuries, especially dislocations and fractures, may lead to long-term knee pain. Knee pain is fairly easy to manage with appropriate care, which we offer.
The shoulder has a very wide range of movement and tends to be prone to injuries, such as strains and tendonitis. Tendonitis, an overuse injury, is an inflammation of the tendon. A tendon connects muscles to bones. Sprains, fractures, pinched nerves, and several other problems may cause shoulder pain. We offer both diagnostic and treatment plans to keep your pain under control.
Neck pain can stem from everyday activities and tends to be mild; however, severe neck pain requires immediate attention. Neck injuries such as whiplash may lead to long-term pain. Whiplash is the sudden jerking motion the head makes upon suddenly stopping. Other causes may include arthritis or narrowing of the spinal canal. We will properly diagnose and treat your neck pain to get you feeling better.
The hip joint is designed for durability, but that does not make it immune to damage. Arthritis, bursitis, tendonitis, and several other conditions may cause hip pain. Other than wear and tear damage, a condition called osteonecrosis may occur. Generally, due to injury, this condition involves reduction of blood flow to the hip bones, ultimately causing bones to die. We will find the cause of your hip pain and treat it appropriately to get you back on your feet.
Headaches are generally not a cause for concern – as debilitating as they may be. Cluster headaches, tension headaches, migraines, sinus headaches, and several other types of headaches are generally caused by overexertion, while some have hereditary links. Headaches may be managed at home, but recurring headaches require attention. We offer diagnostic procedures and treatment options to properly diagnose and manage your headaches.
Nerve pain can be caused by a variety of conditions. Generally, diabetes, thyroid and kidney disease, physical nerve damage such as pinched nerves, and others. It can be extremely painful, or very mild. Over time, untreated nerve pain can cause a lot of emotional problems and interfere with one’s life.
