The Patient Journey

1) Incident & Symptoms

After a crash or fall, patients may develop neck or back pain, radiating leg/arm symptoms, numbness, or weakness.

2) Focused Spine Evaluation

We review imaging and perform a targeted exam to localize the pain generator—disc, nerve, or joint.

3) Conservative Care First

Most start with epidural injections, facet injections, therapy, and brief medication trials.

4) Surgical Options If Needed

Persistent nerve compression or stenosis may call for PLDD, microdiscectomy/foraminotomy, laminectomy, or ACDF, depending on location and severity.
