Osteoporosis
Arthritis
Fibromyalgia
Low back pain may also occur as part of another disorder, such as fibromyalgia or a kidney stone (on the side of the affected kidney).
Emergency Care
My first visits to the Florida Spine Institute in 2007 came after a whack chiropractor put me in the emergency room trying to heal my discs. Dr. Bouchlas is a consummate professional and immediately had a treatment plan to help with my pain. I could barely walk or get out of bed many days. After 3 epidural injections over a few months I was good as new. I did not experience any back pain for the next 10 years. Fast forward to today! I lost 80 lbs over a year and a half and injured my back again in the gym.I have had severe pain in my lower back for 7 months now and have received. 2 epidural injections and 4 facet joint injections to date. Dr. Buochlas is an expert in his field and I would not want to be treated by anyone else. If this treatment does not work, we are moving to Radio-Frequency Ablation with Dr,.Hanna who I understand to be an innovative leader for this type of treatment.

Neurology
Neurology is the study and treatment of disorders of the nervous system. The nervous system is a complex, sophisticated system that regulates and coordinates body activities. It has two major divisions: The Central nervous system, which includes the brain and spinal cord
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Causing pain in your palm, fingers, forearm and wrist, in addition to weakness, tingling, and numbness, carpal tunnel syndrome affects almost 30% of Americans. When tendons become inflamed due to overuse, they can put pressure on the median nerve, which runs through the carpal tunnel. The median nerve is responsible for controlling your thumb, and first three fingers, which is why people with carpal tunnel syndrome have difficulty picking objects up. Your doctor may recommend bracing, corticosteroid injections to reduce inflammation, and physical therapy; however, surgery may be considered if symptoms last longer than six months.
Multiple Sclerosis

Ultrasound
Nonsurgical treatments for low back pain include analgesic and anti-inflammatory medications; acupuncture; chiropractic manipulation; TENS (transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation); applications of cold or heat; ultrasound; stretching and strengthening exercises for back, abdominal, and leg muscles; and education in ways to prevent future injury. Patients should avoid bed rest and follow their exercise plan for safe return to activity as soon as possible.
MRI
While upper and middle back pain is less common, since the vertebrae in this area move much less than the ones in the lower back and neck, it still can be extremely uncomfortable. The first step in treating your pain is finding out the source of the problem. Your doctor will do this by asking about your current activity level and performing an exam; they may also order an MRI or X-ray in order to get a better picture of the area. These imaging tests will help diagnose problems such as a fracture or herniated disc.
X-Rays
Computed Tomography
The first steps in diagnosis are a thorough patient and family medical history, characterization of the pain, and physical examination. Imaging studies (to show anatomic abnormalities) include plain x-rays or computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, and specialized studies such as discography. Electromyography (EMG), nerve conduction (NCV) studies, and evoked potential (EP) studies help to evaluate nerve function.

Sciatica
When referring to symptoms of leg pain, your doctor may use the term â€œsciatica,â€ which describes the pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness you feel that stems from the sciatic nerve in your lower back. With sciatica, you may feel no back pain, but instead, experience severe leg pain.
Whiplash
Whiplash, also known as neck strain, is most commonly associated with car accidents; however, it can be caused by anything that causes your neck to suddenly jerk forward and backward... Learn More
Pinched Nerve
Your upper and middle back, also known as the thoracic spine, is made up of 12 vertebrae that attach to your rib cage, discs that sit between each vertebrae, and various ligaments and muscles holding your spine in place. Upper and middle back pain can be felt anywhere from the bottom of your ribs to the base of your neck. A pinched nerve in your thoracic spine can also cause referred pain in your stomach, chest, legs, and arms.
Joint Replacement
If the non-surgical techniques are not effective, or you have a more complicated injury, there are a few different options. Depending on your condition, you can have a manipulation or an arthroscopic capsular release done. The former involves doctors moving your shoulder gently while you are under anesthetic to help with range of motion, while the latter involves your doctors making a small incision to remove scar tissue that is causing your pain. One of the most common treatment options for people suffering from osteoarthritis is a shoulder joint replacement; this new joint can last up to 20 years.
Orthopedic Surgery
Hip Replacement
Just as a knee or hip replacement substitutes the worn out bone, artificial disc replacement surgery involves replacing a painful disc with an artificial one. Artificial disc replacement surgery may be performed on the lower back (lumbar spine) or the neck (cervical spine). Artificial discs are designed to stimulate the form and function of the […] Full Story

Sports Medicine
Orthopedic surgery at the Florida Spine Institute may be recommended for conditions involving the musculoskeletal system. Orthopedic surgeons use both surgical and nonsurgical means to treat musculoskeletal trauma, sports injuries, degenerative diseases, infections, tumors, and congenital disorders.
Physical Therapy
The anterior cruciate ligament, or ACL, is one of the ligaments that connect your femur to your shin. It can be damaged while playing sports or performing movements that require sudden directional changes. If it is not a complete tear, non-surgical treatment including physical therapy and orthotics can be considered. However, if the tear is causing knee instability, surgery will have to be considered.
Shoulder Pain
Neck Pain
Back Pain
Manual Therapy
The manual therapy will include massage, manipulation and mobilization. Massage will help increase blood flow to your muscles, which will help them relax and ease your pain; manipulation and mobilization both involve careful movements and pressure to help keep your joints in the correct position.
