Degenerative Disc Disease  Cedar Rapids, IA

Herniated or bulging discs

The discs between the spinal vertebrae can become weak and bulge out (herniate), pushing against the spinal cord or nerve roots, causing significant pain. Today, we have a number of treatment options for reducing this pain without surgery, helping you feel better and live a more normal, fulfilling life.

Spinal Stenosis

Spinal stenosis is when the cavities that house large nerve structures (i.e., the spinal cord or its nerve roots) become narrow, putting pressure on nerves and causing pain that’s often debilitating. Spinal stenosis can be caused by a number of different problems that can create bone spurs and cysts or otherwise narrow passages for critical nerves. Our leading-edge spine interventions and therapies can often reduce or even eliminate this pain.

neck pain  Cedar Rapids, IA

Failed back/neck surgery

Back surgery is often the right choice to relieve spine-related pain. But sometimes it’s not the right choice. And even when it is appropriate, back surgeries can and do “fail,” frequently through no fault of the surgeon. We offer a number of nonsurgical treatments that can provide relief for certain pain and symptoms that recur (or newly develop) following back or neck surgery.

Whiplash  Cedar Rapids, IA

Whiplash

According to the American Chiropractic Association, one of the most common causes of neck pain is whiplash resulting from a car accident. A sudden forced movement of the head or neck in any direction and the resulting “rebound” in the opposite direction is known as whiplash. The sudden “whipping” motion injures the surrounding and supporting tissues of the neck and head. Muscles react by tightening and contracting, creating muscle fatigue, which can result in pain and stiffness. Severe whiplash can also be associated with injury to the intervertebral joints, discs, ligaments, muscles, and nerve roots.

Arm & leg pain

As with sciatica, compression of nerve roots can cause other forms of pain in the legs not directly related to the sciatic nerve. Arm pain can also be related to nerve compression occurring in the spine. We have a number of treatments that can relieve the effects of this compression.

headaches migraines  Cedar Rapids, IA

Headaches/ Migraines

While they can be difficult to diagnose because of their many potential causes, headaches and migraines are common. They can also be devastating to your quality of life. We diagnose headaches accurately and treat them carefully so you can feel — and live — better!

Myofascial pain

Myofascial pain is chronic pain affecting the connective tissue that covers the muscles. Pressure on specific “trigger points” in the muscles causes pain in other parts of the body, which is called “referred pain.” We use the latest therapies, particularly trigger-point injections, to alleviate the pain.

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)

CRPS is an often elusive and challenging pain condition related to erroneous pain signals from the sympathetic nervous system that create regional pain. We understand CRPS, how to diagnose it and how to use our complete range of treatments to minimize the pain and restore your quality of life.
