Diseases And Conditions

A number of conditions can affect the spine. The most common condition is neck or back pain, usually caused by arthritis, or wear and tear. Sometimes, this can result in nerve irritation, seen as arm or leg pain. It’s important to know that not every condition requires surgery. In the majority of cases, medicines or therapy are effective in relieving pain. Pain injections are also an option for most people before considering an invasive procedure. In rare cases neck and back pain may be caused by a broken bone in the spine or even tumors. Whatever the cause, the institute’s comprehensive approach can offer you a solution.

The Los Angeles Brain and Spine Institute is considered a tertiary institute. This means that we are dedicated to sub-specialty care of the spine, such as physical therapy, pain management, surgery and minimally invasive surgery. We bring all of these sub-specialties together, in one institute, to provide the highest level of care possible to our patients.
