Spine Conditions Treated
Dr. Kazarian provides expert evaluation and treatment for the full spectrum of cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine conditions.
Lumbar Disc Herniation
A lumbar disc herniation occurs when a disc in the lower back pushes through its outer ring and presses on a spinal nerve, most often producing leg pain (sciatica), numbness, or weakness.
Learn more →Cervical Disc Herniation
A cervical disc herniation occurs when a disc in the neck pushes through its outer ring and presses on a spinal nerve, producing neck pain plus radiating symptoms into the shoulder, arm, or hand.
Learn more →Spinal Stenosis
Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal that compresses the spinal cord or nerve roots, producing leg pain, walking limitation, and, in cervical cases, hand and balance problems.
Learn more →Sciatica
Sciatica is leg pain caused by irritation or compression of a lumbar nerve root, most often from a herniated disc or spinal stenosis. It is a symptom, not a diagnosis, and the underlying cause guides treatment.
Learn more →Cervical Radiculopathy
Cervical radiculopathy, a 'pinched nerve' in the neck, produces pain, numbness, or weakness that radiates from the neck into the shoulder, arm, or hand along the path of the affected nerve.
Learn more →Spondylolisthesis
Spondylolisthesis is a condition in which one vertebra slips forward over the one below it, sometimes producing back pain, leg pain, and instability, though many patients have minimal or no symptoms.
Learn more →Degenerative Disc Disease
Degenerative disc disease describes age-related wear of the spinal discs that can lead to chronic neck or back pain and contribute to other spine problems including herniations, stenosis, and instability.
Learn more →Spinal Fracture
Spinal fractures range from osteoporotic compression fractures to severe traumatic injuries and can cause significant pain, deformity, and, in severe cases, neurologic injury or paralysis.
