Same-Week Appointments Offered
Millions of Americans experience back and spinal pain every year — and in Los Angeles, it’s one of the most cited reasons patients visit the doctor. Whether the result of a sudden event like a car accident or a condition that progresses over time, like years of poor posture, anyone with spinal pain knows how much of a burden it can be.
The spine treatment Los Angeles surgeons – both orthopedic and neurosurgeons on staff of our Los Angeles spine treatment center come together as a cohesive team of experts to search for the source of yours of your back pain for a clear understanding of the cause of spinal discomfort and a clear solution, activating a return to pain-free function and a future that reduces potential for problems long term. Starting with simple procedures such as medication and physical therapy, to moderate intervention such as spinal injections, radiofrequency ablation and even spinal cord stimulation, we provide pain treatment solutions just for you.
Why Early Spinal Treatment Matters
Spinal pain is not only uncomfortable — it can signal deeper problems. These conditions are things like herniated discs, arthritis and spinal stenosis or nerve compression, which can start as stiff or a bit achy, but can develop into chronic pain, numbness, tingling and even weakness if left for a long time.
Getting evaluated early means:
- Finding hidden injuries before they become worse
- Faster recovery through timely treatment
- Complete documentation for medical and legal purposes
- Peace of mind knowing what is causing your current pain is discovered and taken care of
Our Comprehensive Spinal Treatment Services
X-Ray Workups & Imaging
We start with the imaging. X-rays can identify fractures, misalignments and arthritis, and MRI or CT can provide even more detail than X-ray to show disc herniations, pinched nerves, or soft tissue injury.
Anti-Inflammatory Medications
These short term drugs will help to ease some of the swelling and irritation, making patients more comfortable while embarking on a long term course of treatment.
Muscle Relaxants
Muscle spasm and stiff spinal pain will frequently result in muscle spasm and stiffness. Prescription relaxants can help ease tension, restore mobility, and relieve pain in patients struggling with high-strung muscles.
Spinal Injections
Targeted injections flood the source of pain, be it joints, discs or nerve roots, with anti-inflammatory medication. These not only relieve symptoms but also allow us to understand exactly what is causing pain.
Radiofrequency Ablation
For chronic spinal pain, radiofrequency ablation, for example, can provide a longer-term pain solution by interrupting the transmission of the nerve signals that convey pain messages to the brain.
Spinal Cord Stimulation
When standard treatments haven’t provided the relief you need, spinal cord stimulation is an alternative solution that delivers substantial pain relief — virtually anytime, anywhere — in a way that’s personalized to your level of pain.
Physical Therapy
We focus on exercise for strength and flexibility, as well as intentional changes of posture and mobility training for therapy. Physical therapy is effective at helping people recover, provides prevention of re-injury and structural support to the spine.
Additional Evaluations & Care
Lien-Based Pre-Operative Workups
If surgery is necessary, we will give complete medical clearance to ensure safety. This is true for spine surgery and all surgeries related to your accident or condition (please see other FAQs).
Treating Underlying Conditions
And finally, an underlying health issue like diabetes or high blood pressure can make treatment more complicated. Therefore, we control for, treat and prepare those issues to get you in a condition that is the safest for your care and child.
Psychological Clearance
Prior to complex procedures, clearance will allow both the patient and the clinician’s readiness and ensure care is comprehensive.
Telehealth Appointments
We offer virtual visits when indicated, but crucially, the assessment of spinal conditions is optimally done in person.
Common Spinal Conditions We Treat
Herniated & Bulging Discs – Discs that slip or burst can put pressure on nerves leading to pain, numbness or weakness.
- Spinal Stenosis – Constriction of the spinal canal that compresses nerves and restricts movement.
- Degernerative Disc Disease – Breaking down of the spinal discs following wear-and-tear, leading to a chronic pain or stiffness.
- Whiplash & Soft Tissue Injuries – Another common car accident injury that can cause chronic neck and back pain if left untreated.
- Spinal Arthritis – Inflammation of the joints creating less mobility and constant pain.
- CRPS – A rare, but severe disorder of the nerves and tissue that we test for and treat aggressively.

You should get care if the pain is severe or if it persists beyond a few days, if it spreads to your arms or legs, or causes numbness or tingling, if it disrupts sleep or if it stems from an accident or fall.
No. Therapy, injections and nerve ablation offer relief to many patients who don’t require surgery. Surgery may be an option only failure of conservative measures.
The duration of the recovery also depends on the ailment and its spinal treatment near me. For some patients, the condition is resolved in weeks, for others it is a chronic condition that needs long-term management.
