- MRIA new patient consultation involves reviewing your pertinent past medical records, discussing your current symptoms and working with you to begin developing your initial treatment plan. Depending on whether or not you have had any evaluative imaging done already, we may recommend an X-Ray, MRI, or another diagnostic tool. We house the capability to perform all of these diagnostics in our office.
- X-Rays
- Computed TomographyCancer cells commonly spread to bone, and the most common place that cancer spreads is to the spine. Tumors can weaken bones to the point of fracture, and compress nerve endings causing pain, weakness, or even paralysis. Symptoms of Metastatic Spine Tumors include aching in the bones of the spine, pain down the legs or arms, or a sudden and severe pain while moving (caused by a fracture). Diagnosis is performed through X-Ray, MRI, and/or CT scans, depending on which imaging type gives the best visibility for you specific tumor.
- Radiation TherapyTreatment of Metastatic Spine Tumors involves a combination of managing the pain, shrinking or removing the tumor cells, and stabilizing the spine when needed. Pain management is accomplished with medication and occasionally back bracing, while radiation therapy, hormonal medication and surgical removal can all be used to treat the tumor itself.
- SciaticaSpondylolisthesis is a condition where one vertebra slips forwards over the vertebra below. It is a common cause of low back pain and sciatica. It can develop early in adolescence, develop as a cause of arthritis and aging, or be caused by a single or repeated force, such as a fall or a weightlifting accident. Symptoms include pain in the low back, and in more severe cases pain or weakness in the legs. In some cases, there may be no symptoms when Spondylolisthesis first develops. Diagnosis is usually confirmed through an X-ray of the spine, where slippage is typically obvious.
