COMMON PAIN TYPES

At Charles J. Nivens, M.D. Spine Medicine, we aim to provides full minimally invasive pain management solutions to a wide variety of nerve and back pain. We are spine specialists first and foremost. Whether you're suffering from acute or chronic neck and back pain - helping is our priority.

Bulging Disk

The tough fibers along the outer portion of the disc have been overly stretched and are bulging into the spinal canal. This causes inflammation and pressure on the nerve root, both of which can cause back pain.

Scoliosis

An abnormal lateral C- or S-shaped curve of the spine that often occurs during growth spurts just before and after puberty. The cause of most scoliosis cases is unknown. Typically the pain you experience is the result of pressure on your spinal discs. If the curve becomes significant enough, it may lead to worsening arthritis, degenerative disc disease and back pain.

Radiculitis

This is the description of a spinal nerve root functioning abnormally. Typically, this causes a person to have numbness, weakness or altered sensations.
