Spinal Stenosis: Cervical, Lumbar and Lumbosacral
The are many causes of back and neck pain, ranging from nerve damage to wearing the wrong pair of shoes. But sometimes this pain can indicate an underlying disorder called spinal stenosis, a condition that can develop when the spinal canal narrows and painfully compresses the spinal nerves.
Microendoscopic Surgery Offers Alternative for Spine Patients

CAROLYN'S STORY: A WILL TO STAND STRAIGHTER
Carolyn, 65, was first diagnosed with scoliosis at age 15. Characterized by a sideways curvature in the spine, scoliosis most often develops during the growth spurts common throughout puberty. "At the time, I didn't receive any recommendations or exercises for it," she says, "so over the years, my scoliosis became worse and worse."
