Explore decompressionThe 10 most common spine conditions
Ranked as a practical clinical reference — what's most common varies with age and activity level. Here's how these conditions are typically approached:
| Condition | What it is |
|---|---|
| Low back pain / lumbar strain | Muscular or ligament strain of the low back |
| Herniated disc | Disc bulge pressing on a nerve |
| Degenerative disc disease | Age-related disc wear |
| Spinal stenosis | Narrowing of the nerve canal |
| Sciatica / lumbar radiculopathy | Radiating nerve pain into the leg |
| Spondylolisthesis | One vertebra slipping over another |
| Scoliosis | Sideways curvature of the spine |
| Compression fracture | Collapsed vertebra, often from bone loss |
| Cervical radiculopathy | Pinched nerve in the neck |
| Cervical myelopathy | Spinal-cord compression in the neck |
“Non-surgical” options are always individualized after an evaluation. Conditions marked surgical or urgent receive an honest, prompt referral — that's how we practice.
What commonly causes back pain?
- Chronic or recurring low back pain
- Disc-related pain and stiffness
- Neck pain and stiffness
- Radiating leg pain, tingling, or numbness (sciatica)
- Pain that limits golf, sitting, or sleep
How is back pain evaluated?
Your visit begins with an in-office evaluation, with imaging — ultrasound or fluoroscopy — when it's needed, so we can see the area clearly. Occasionally we'll arrange additional imaging elsewhere. From there, Derek builds a personalized, honest plan — and walks you through the options for your situation.
Which non-surgical treatments help back pain?
- Wharton's Jelly with mesenchymal stem cells — an umbilical-derived allograft for selected joint and soft-tissue pain in the spine, discussed candidly
- PRP — platelet-rich plasma to support your body's own repair signaling
- Peptides — targeted peptides such as BPC-157 to support recovery and tissue resilience
- Injections — precise, image-guided delivery when appropriate
- Non-surgical spinal decompression — gentle, targeted relief for the neck and back
- The full regenerative program — how these options fit together, and how candidacy is reviewed for you individually
When should you seek care?
Back or neck pain that lingers beyond a couple of weeks, radiates into a limb, or keeps limiting sitting, sleep, or activity deserves a proper evaluation. Seek urgent care immediately for sudden severe weakness or loss of bladder or bowel control. For general reference, see MedlinePlus's back pain guide.
