Spine Conditions Treated
Diagnosis and treatment for cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine conditions affecting the neck, back, nerves, movement, and daily comfort.
Common Spine Problems We Evaluate
At Spine & Sport Florida, patients receive care for a wide range of spine conditions involving the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar regions. Dr. Blaze D. Emerson, D.O. evaluates symptoms such as neck pain, back pain, nerve pain, weakness, numbness, spinal instability, injury-related pain, and degenerative changes to help patients better understand what may be causing their discomfort. The goal is to provide clear answers, explain available treatment options, and guide each patient toward care that fits their diagnosis, lifestyle, and long-term needs.
Cervical Spine Conditions
The cervical spine includes the neck region and can affect the shoulders, arms, hands, balance, coordination, and nerve function. Patients may need evaluation when neck pain, arm pain, numbness, weakness, or changes in mobility begin to interfere with daily life.
Conditions treated include:
- Myelopathy
- Radiculopathy or Pinched Nerve
- Neck Pain
- Herniated or Bulging Disc
- Spinal Stenosis
Thoracic Spine Conditions
The thoracic spine is located in the middle back and plays an important role in posture, stability, and upper body support. Although thoracic spine conditions can be less common than neck or lower back problems, they can still cause significant pain, stiffness, deformity, or injury-related symptoms.
Conditions treated include:
- Thoracic Kyphoplasty
- Spinal Deformity
- Herniated or Bulging Disc
Lumbar Spine Conditions
The lumbar spine includes the lower back and is one of the most common areas for pain, nerve compression, and degenerative spine problems. Lumbar conditions may cause lower back pain, leg pain, sciatica-like symptoms, weakness, numbness, or difficulty standing and walking comfortably.
Conditions treated include:
- Lumbar Spinal Stenosis
- Herniated or Bulging Disc
- Spondylolisthesis
- Degenerative Disc Disease
- Radiculopathy
- Pseudoarthrosis, Revision, and Failed Spine Surgery
