Our primary emphasis is on non-surgical treatments, image-guided treatments, and planning based on your needs and goals.
PAIN ORIGINS
Back pain can begin in different parts of the spine, including nerves, joints, discs, or muscles. As a back pain specialist in West Orange, NJ, we work to identify the source so your treatment plan can be focused and effective.

Sciatica frequently causes pain that radiates from the lower back to the hip, buttocks, or leg. A lower back pain doctor in West Orange, NJ, can help locate the irritated nerve and guide your care.
Irritation in the small joints of the spine can lead to stiffness, aching, or pain during movement. We review your symptoms and imaging when needed to determine the next step.
