Back & Neck Treatment, Disc Surgery

Back and neck pain are among the most common reasons people seek medical help, and they can severely impact your ability to work and enjoy life. These issues often stem from problems with the spinal discs, such as herniation (‘slipped disc’), which can cause intense pain and nerve compression.

Dr. Mohammad Khalid believes in a conservative-first approach to spine health. We thoroughly investigate the source of your pain and prioritize non-surgical treatments whenever possible. When surgery is necessary, he utilizes advanced techniques to relieve pressure on the nerves and stabilize the spine effectively.

Overview

Our treatment process begins with a comprehensive diagnosis, often using MRI scans to get a clear picture of your spine. Non-surgical options like targeted physical therapy, medication, and therapeutic injections are often the first line of defense. If these methods do not provide relief, or if there is significant nerve compression, surgical options like a discectomy may be recommended to provide a more permanent solution.

The benefits you get

A herniated disc occurs when the soft, gel-like center of a spinal disc pushes out through a tear in its tougher exterior. This can put pressure on nearby nerves, causing pain, numbness, or weakness.
