Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

See below: This is a strange diagnosis. Have you had any trauma to your back such as a severe motor vehicle accident or severe fall. Who had told you of this diagnosis. ?Strengthening of the back and core muscles , proper body mechanics and lifting techniques, weight loss if applicable are some basic things you can try. A physical therapist that specializes in backs would probably be very helpful and guide you as well as an orthopedic surgeon. Thank you.
