Post-Laminectomy Syndrome

Post-laminectomy syndrome occurs when a person continues to experience pain or limited mobility following a laminectomy: a surgical procedure that removes part of the vertebral bone (lamina) to relieve pressure on spinal nerves. While many patients find relief after surgery, some may still suffer ongoing pain, sometimes referred to as “failed back surgery syndrome.”

Facet Joint Syndrome

Facet joint syndrome is a condition where the small joints connecting the bones of the spine become irritated or inflamed. These joints help guide spinal movement, but when damaged, they can cause pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.

Cervical Stenosis

Cervical stenosis is a condition in which the spinal canal in the neck narrows, placing pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. This often develops gradually due to aging but can also result from injury or structural changes in the spine.

Degenerative Disc Disease

Degenerative disc disease occurs when the soft discs between the vertebrae in your spine gradually wear down. This natural process of aging, repetitive stress, or minor injuries can lead to stiffness, discomfort, or nerve irritation over time.

Lumbar Herniated Disc

A herniated disc occurs when the soft, gel-like center of a spinal disc pushes through a tear or weakness in the outer layer. This can irritate or compress nearby nerves, leading to pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness in the lower back, buttocks, or legs. When the sciatic nerve is affected, the condition is often referred to as sciatica.
