Herniated Disc

A herniated disc occurs when the soft inner material of a spinal disc pushes through its outer casing and presses on a nearby nerve root, causing localized back or neck pain as well as radiating pain, numbness, or weakness in the arms or legs. At Florida Orthopedic & Spine Institute, herniated discs are treated with injections and conservative care first, with minimally invasive surgery considered when those options are insufficient.

Radiculopathy (Pinched Nerve)

Radiculopathy is compression or irritation of a nerve root in the spine, producing pain that travels along the nerve's path into the arm (cervical radiculopathy) or down the leg (lumbar radiculopathy, commonly called sciatica). Florida Orthopedic & Spine Institute treats radiculopathy with targeted injections and interventional care, with surgery considered only when conservative treatment has not provided adequate relief.

Conditions

Pain Conditions

Treated by our board-certified interventional pain physician.

1

Chronic Back & Neck Pain

Chronic back and neck pain is persistent pain lasting longer than three months that has not resolved with rest, primary care treatment, or over-the-counter medication. At Florida Orthopedic & Spine Institute, chronic pain is evaluated using advanced diagnostic imaging and biomechanical assessment, with treatment individualized to the specific pain source identified.

3

Sacroiliac Joint Pain

Sacroiliac joint pain originates from the joint that connects the spine to the pelvis and is a common cause of lower back and buttock pain that is frequently mistaken for disc-related conditions. At Florida Orthopedic & Spine Institute, sacroiliac joint dysfunction is diagnosed with targeted diagnostic injections and treated with image-guided interventional techniques.

2

Facet Joint Syndrome

Facet joint syndrome is pain originating from the small joints along the back of the spine that allow for movement and flexibility, most commonly causing localized back or neck pain that can radiate into the shoulders or buttocks. Florida Orthopedic & Spine Institute treats facet joint syndrome with facet injections, medial branch blocks, and radiofrequency ablation depending on diagnosis and response to initial treatment.

4

Nerve Root Pain

Nerve root pain results from compression or inflammation of a spinal nerve where it exits the vertebral column, producing sharp, burning, or shooting pain that follows a specific pattern into the arm or leg depending on which level of the spine is affected. Florida Orthopedic & Spine Institute treats nerve root pain with epidural steroid injections and targeted nerve blocks before surgical decompression is considered.
