Back Conditions
Disc Herniation
A disc herniation occurs when the soft, gel-like center of a spinal disc pushes through its outer layer, often compressing nearby nerves. This can lead to pain, numbness, or weakness in the back, legs, or arms, depending on the location ofthe herniation. Common causes include aging, repetitive strain, or sudden injury. Our experienced and talented physicians can accurately diagnose and possibly treat this medical condition for you. We are staffed by experienced medical doctors, and our service is covered by OHIP. No referrals are needed.
Muscle Strain
Back muscle strain results from overstretching or tearing of muscles due to heavy lifting, sudden movements, or poor posture. Symptoms include localized pain, stiffness, and muscle spasms. Most strains improve with rest and physiotherapy, but persistent pain may require medical evaluation. Our experienced and talented physicians can accurately diagnose and possibly treat this medical condition for you. We are staffed by experienced medical doctors, and our service is covered by OHIP. No referrals are needed.
Facet Joint Sprain
Facet joint sprains occur when the small stabilizing joints in the spine become irritated or inflamed due to excessive movement, trauma, or degeneration. This condition can cause sharp or aching pain, limited mobility, and discomfort when bending or twisting. Our experienced and talented physicians can accurately diagnose and possibly treat this medical condition for you. We are staffed by experienced medical doctors, and our service is covered by OHIP. No referrals are needed.
Compression Fractures
Compression fractures in the spine occur when a vertebra collapses due to osteoporosis, trauma, or cancer. Symptoms include sudden back pain, loss of height, and a hunched posture. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent further complications. Our experienced and talented physicians can accurately diagnose and possibly treat this medical condition for you. We are staffed by experienced medical doctors, and our service is covered by OHIP. No referrals are needed.
Spinal Stenosis
Spinal stenosis is a condition where the spinal canal narrows, putting pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. It often causes pain, numbness, or weakness in the legs and back, particularly when standing or walking. It is commonly caused by aging-related degeneration or arthritis. Our experienced and talented physicians can accurately diagnose and possibly treat this medical condition for you. We are staffed by experienced medical doctors, and our service is covered by OHIP. No referrals are needed.
Spondylolisthesis
Spondylolisthesis occurs when a vertebra slips out of place, leading to lower back pain, stiffness, and nerve irritation. This condition can result from aging, repetitive stress, or congenital defects. Treatment varies from physiotherapy to medical intervention depending on severity. Our experienced and talented physicians can accurately diagnose and possibly treat this medical condition for you. We are staffed by experienced medical doctors, and our service is covered by OHIP. No referrals are needed.
Osteoarthritis in the Back
Osteoarthritis of the spine is a degenerative joint disease that leads to cartilage breakdown in the facet joints, causing pain, stiffness, and inflammation. This condition is most common in older adults and those with previous back injuries. Our experienced and talented physicians can accurately diagnose and possibly treat this medical condition for you. We are staffed by experienced medical doctors, and our service is covered by OHIP. No referrals are needed.
Pinched Nerve (Sciatica)
A pinched nerve in the back, commonly known as sciatica, occurs when a spinal nerve is compressed due to disc herniation, bone spurs, or muscle tightness. This often leads to radiating pain, numbness, or weakness along the leg. Our experienced and talented physicians can accurately diagnose and possibly treat this medical condition for you. We are staffed by experienced medical doctors, and our service is covered by OHIP. No referrals are needed.
Scoliosis
Scoliosis is an abnormal sideways curvature of the spine that can lead to back pain, uneven shoulders, and posture changes. While mild cases may not cause significant symptoms, more severe cases can affect mobility and quality of life. Our experienced and talented physicians can accurately diagnose and possibly treat this medical condition for you. We are staffed by experienced medical doctors, and our service is covered by OHIP. No referrals are needed.
Costovertebral Joint Sprain
Costovertebral joint sprains occur when the small joints connecting the ribs to the spine become inflamed or irritated due to trauma or repetitive motion. Symptoms include localized back or rib pain, especially with deep breathing or twisting. Our experienced and talented physicians can accurately diagnose and possibly treat this medical condition for you. We are staffed by experienced medical doctors, and our service is covered by OHIP. No referrals are needed.
Compression Fractures
Compression fractures occur when the vertebrae weaken and collapse due to osteoporosis or trauma. This leads to persistent back pain, reduced height, and spinal deformities. Proper diagnosis and treatment can prevent worsening symptoms and improve mobility. Our experienced and talented physicians can accurately diagnose and possibly treat this medical condition for you. We are staffed by experienced medical doctors, and our service is covered by OHIP. No referrals are needed.
