Spine and Disc Conditions
The spine and discs play a significant role in supporting the body and allowing smooth movement. When issues arises in these areas, they can lead to ongoing pain, stiffness, or difficulty performing daily tasks. At The Family Pain and Wellness, our pain management specialists is experienced in diagnosing and treating a wide range of spine and disc conditions. Our goal is to help patients find relief, restore function, and improve quality of life through effective and personalized pain management.
Spine and Disc Conditions Treated at Our Clinic
Spine and disc conditions impact the bones, joints, and soft tissues of the back and can lead to pain radiating to the neck, lower back, or legs. These issues may arise due to aging, injury, poor posture, or repetitive strain.
With proper evaluation and treatment, many of these conditions can be effectively managed, helping patients experience less pain and greater mobility. Below is a list of spine and disc conditions that we treat at our clinic:
1. Herniated Disc
Sometimes called a slipped or bulging disc, a herniated disc occurs when the soft, jelly-like center of a spinal disc pushes through a tear in the tougher outer layer. This can irritate nearby nerves, causing pain, numbness, or weakness in an arm or leg.
While many people have herniated discs experience no symptoms, those who do often benefit from treatments aimed at on reducing the nerve irritation and strengthening the surrounding muscles to support healing.

2. Degenerative Disc Disease
Degenerative disc disease refers to the natural wear and tear of spinal discs as we age. Over time, discs can become thinner and lose their flexibility, which can sometimes lead to pain. It is a common part of aging, like wrinkles on the inside.
However, not everyone with disc degeneration experiences discomfort. For those who do, our goal is to manage the symptoms through therapies that improve spinal mobility, reduce inflammation, and strengthen the core to better support the spine.
3. Spinal Stenosis
Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spaces within your spine, which can place pressure on the nerves that travel through the spine, often resulting in pain, tingling, or weakness. It is most common in the neck and lower back.
Symptoms might include radiating pain in the leg or arm, or a sensation of heaviness.
We offer a variety of conservative treatments designed to relieve this pressure and reduce discomfort, helping you maintain your mobility.

4. Tailbone Pain/Coccyx Pain
Pain in the tailbone area, known as coccydynia, can be sharp or achy and is often made worse by sitting. It can result from a fall, prolonged sitting on a hard surface, or during childbirth. This type of pain can be quite persistent and affect simple daily routines.
Our clinic provides targeted treatments to soothe the inflamed area and recommends modifications to help you sit more comfortably while the area heals.
5. Sacroiliac Joint Pain
The sacroiliac joints connect your lower spine to your pelvis. When these joints become inflamed or move too much or too little, they can cause pain in the lower back and buttocks. This pain can sometimes feel similar to sciatica. Problems with these joints are a common source of lower back pain.
We specialize in diagnosing SI joint issues and use a range of techniques to stabilize the joint and reduce inflammation for lasting relief.
