Whether your pain is the result of a sports injury, workplace accident, or gradual wear and tear, our doctors bring focused skill and experience to every stage of your treatment.

When Should I Seek Treatment From a Back Doctor?

Not all back problems require surgery, but delaying care can increase the risk of long-term damage. Our back doctors evaluate each patient individually and recommend the most effective, least invasive approach possible.

Individuals experiencing back issues may notice symptoms such as:

  • Persistent or chronic back pain
  • Pain that radiates into the legs, hips, or buttocks
  • Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the arms or legs
  • Stiffness or reduced range of motion in the spine
  • Pain that worsens with activity or prolonged sitting/standing
  • Difficulty with balance, walking, or mobility
  • Lingering discomfort from a previous injury

If you experience any of these symptoms, it may indicate one of the following back conditions:

  • Chronic lower back pain
  • Herniated or bulging discs
  • Muscle strains or ligament sprains
  • Sciatica & nerve compression
  • Scoliosis & spinal deformities
  • Spinal arthritis (degenerative disc disease)
  • Spinal stenosis
  • Vertebral fractures (stress or traumatic)

What to Expect With Our Back Doctors

At Golden State Orthopedics & Spine, our team works together to provide personalized treatment plans tailored to your condition, activity level, and goals. Whenever appropriate, our doctors recommend conservative options such as physical therapy, bracing, or targeted injections before considering surgery. If surgical care is needed, our back doctors offer advanced procedures including minimally invasive spine surgery, decompression, spinal fusion, and disc replacement. From first visit through recovery, we are committed to helping you heal and thrive.
