Conditions we Treat


  • Bone Cyst
    Bone cyst is a general term referring to a fluid containing lesion in bone.
  • Brain Hemorrhage
    A hemorrhage refers to bleeding due to the escape of blood from a blood vessel. Brain hemorrhage refers to bleeding in the skull. It can occur as bleeding:
    Inside the brain.
    Between the brain and the membranes that cover it.
    Between the layers of the brain's covering.
    Between the skull and the covering of the brain.
  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
    Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common problem affecting the hand and wrist. Symptoms begin when the median nerve gets squeezed inside the carpal tunnel of the wrist, a medical condition known as nerve entrapment.
  • Chiari Malformation
    Chiari Malformation is a condition in which the cerebellum portion of the brain protrudes into the spinal canal.
  • Compression Fracture
    A collapse of a vertebra caused by trauma or as a result of weakening from osteoporosis.
  • Degenerative Disc Disease
    Gradual or rapid deterioration of the chemical composition and physical properties of the disc space.
  • Failed Back Syndrome
    Failed Back Syndrome is a very generalized term that is often used to describe the condition of patients who have not had a successful result with back surgery or spine surgery.
  • Herniated Disc
    The term “herniation” means that the material at the center of the disc has squeezed out of its normal space. A herniated lumbar disc can press on the nerves in the spine and may cause pain, numbness, tingling or weakness of the leg called "sciatica".
  • Kyphosis
    Kyphosis refers to an abnormal increase in the normal kyphotic curvature of the thoracic spine. Round shoulder deformity, humpback, dorsal kyphotic curvature; may refer to any forward-bending area or deformity of the spine.
  • Meningioma
    A firm, often vascular, tumor arising from the coverings of the brain. Meningiomas do not generally recur if totally removed.
  • Metastatic Brain Tumor
    Metastatic brain tumors result from cancer that started elsewhere in the body and spread (metastasized) to the brain. Most metastatic brain tumors are from cancers of the lung or breast, but almost any tumor can spread to the brain. These malignant (cancerous) brain tumors can grow rapidly, crowding or destroying nearby brain tissue.
  • Pituitary Tumor
    Tumor found on the pituitary. The pituitary is the gland at the base of the brain which secretes hormones into the blood stream. Those hormones then regulate other glands including the thyroid, adrenal glands and gonads.
  • Primary Brain Tumor
    Primary brain tumors are tumors that originate from the tissues of the brain. Primary brain tumors may be benign or malignant.
  • Scoliosis
    Lateral (sideways) curvature of the spine.
  • Skull Base Tumor
    Skull base tumors are a group of tumors that have a tendency to grow along various regions of the bottom part of the skull, mostly on the inside but occasionally on the outside of the skull as well.
  • Spinal Cord Injury
    A spinal cord injury refers to damage to the spinal cord usually caused by the displacement of bone fragments, disc material, or ligaments bruising or tearing into the spinal cord tissue. A spinal cord injury usually begins with a sudden, traumatic blow to the spine that fractures or dislocates vertebrae.
  • Spinal Cord Tumor
    Tumors involving the spinal cord. The spinal cord is the longitudinal cord of nerve tissue that is enclosed in the spinal canal. It serves not only as a pathway for nervous impulses to and from the brain, but as a center for carrying out and coordinating many reflex actions independently of the brain.
  • Spinal Deformity
    Spinal deformity means abnormality in the curves of the spine.
  • Spinal Stenosis
    Stenosis means closing in. Spinal stenosis describes a condition in which the nerves in the spinal canal are closed in, or compressed. The spinal canal is the hollow tube formed by the bones of the spinal column. Anything that causes this bony tube to shrink can squeeze the nerves inside. As a result of many years of wear and tear on the parts of the spine, the tissues nearest the spinal canal sometimes press against the nerves.
  • Spondylolisthesis
    Normally, the bones of the spine stand neatly stacked on top of one another. Ligaments and joints support the spine. Spondylolisthesis alters the alignment of the spine. In this condition, one of the spine bones slips forward over the one below it. As the bone slips forward, the nearby tissues and nerves may become irritated and painful.
  • Spondylosis
    Ankylosis of the vertebra; often applied nonspecifically to any lesion of the spine of a degenerative nature. Bony replacement of ligaments around the disc spaces of the spine, associated with decreased mobility and eventual fusion.
  • Stroke
    A stroke occurs when a blood vessel that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain is either blocked by a clot or bursts. When that happens, part of the brain cannot get the blood (and oxygen) it needs, so it starts to die.
  • Syringomyelia
    Syringomyelia is a fluid filled cavity in the spinal cord. Usually involving upper segments initially and involving the shoulder muscles.
  • Ulnar Neuropathy
    Ulnar neuropathy refers to an injury of the ulnar nerve. The ulnar nerve is the nerve that passes through the forearm and into the hand, and provides sensation to the fourth and fifth digits of the hand, the palm, and the back side of the forearm. Ulnar neuropathy most frequently occurs at the point where the ulnar nerve passes through the elbow.
  • Vertebral Fracture
    A vertebral fracture is a break in one of the bones of the spine. These bones are called the vertebrae.
  • Vertebral Tumor
    Vertebral tumors are tumors in the vertebral body. The vertebral body is the main rectangular portion of the spine.
