Treatments/Programs for Spinal Conditions
Neck pain, back pain and nerve irritation are extremely common with approximately 90 percent of our population suffering at least one bout of spine related discomfort in their lifetime. Most are self limiting and do not require more than cautious observation. If symptoms persist for more than approximately six weeks, you should consult a physician. Pain, tingling and numbness radiating down the arms, legs or around the trunk can be a symptoms of spinal degeneration, disease or deformity.
Weakness of the hands, legs or bowel/bladder dysfunction can all be caused by a potential neurologic disorder.
