Specializes in Pain Management

Arthritis Spine Pain: Often times after fractures the bones collapse on one another even if you get the kyphoplasty done. This often results in two things, increased facet joint pain due to the compression and spinal nerve impingement due to narrowing exit areas for the nerves or due to disc herniations. I would recommend seeing a spine specialist that treats all of these areas to truly assess your pain issues.
