Spinal Conditions Treated by Pain Management Doctors - Garden State Pain and Orthopedics

Your spine is the backbone of your body—literally. It supports movement, protects the spinal cord, and absorbs daily stress. But when spinal conditions arise, they can cause chronic pain, stiffness, and limited mobility. At Garden State Pain and Orthopedics, our expert pain management doctors specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of spinal conditions to help patients regain their quality of life.

Common Spinal Conditions We Treat

1. Herniated Discs
   A herniated or slipped disc occurs when the soft inner portion of a spinal disc pushes through the tougher outer layer, irritating nearby nerves. This can result in back pain, numbness, and weakness in the arms or legs. Pain management specialists offer treatments such as epidural steroid injections, nerve blocks, and physical therapy to relieve discomfort and promote healing.

2. Spinal Stenosis
   Spinal stenosis is the narrowing of the spinal canal, which puts pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. Symptoms include pain, tingling, and weakness in the legs. Minimally invasive treatments such as lumbar epidural injections and radiofrequency ablation can provide significant relief.

3. Degenerative Disc Disease
   Over time, spinal discs naturally wear down, leading to chronic pain and stiffness. Pain management doctors use regenerative medicine techniques, such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy and stem cell injections, to encourage healing and reduce pain.

4. Sciatica
   Sciatica is caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, leading to sharp, shooting pain that radiates down the leg. Pain management treatments like nerve blocks, physical therapy, and spinal cord stimulation can help control symptoms and restore function.

5. Facet Joint Syndrome
   The facet joints in your spine allow for movement and flexibility, but arthritis or injury can cause inflammation and pain. Treatments like facet joint injections and radiofrequency ablation can reduce pain and improve mobility.

6. Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Dysfunction
   The SI joints connect the spine to the pelvis and can become inflamed due to injury or wear and tear. SI joint injections and physical therapy can provide lasting pain relief.

7. Compression Fractures
   Osteoporosis or trauma can lead to spinal compression fractures, resulting in severe back pain. Minimally invasive procedures like kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty stabilize the spine and reduce pain.
