Spine and neck pain, read as a system.
Cervical and lumbar pain — and the instability of CCI/AAI in hypermobility — evaluated first, then matched to the right care or referral.
What we evaluate
- Neck (cervical) and low-back (lumbar) pain
- Facet- and disc-related pain
- Pain that travels down the chain into shoulder, hip, or limb
- Craniocervical and atlantoaxial instability (CCI / AAI) in EDS and hypermobility
- Sacroiliac joint dysfunction and sacroiliitis
- Lumbar and cervical facet arthritis
- Sacrococcygeal and ischial pain
- Sacrotuberous and sacrospinous ligament pain
- Costotransverse joint laxity and pain, and intercostal neuritis
Diagnosis first — the spine rarely acts alone
A painful level is often loaded by something else — a girdle that doesn’t stabilize, a chain that overworks one segment. A whole-chain exam and a careful review of your imaging come before any treatment. Where craniocervical or atlantoaxial instability is suspected, evaluation is deliberate and, when appropriate, referred to the right specialist.
Regenerative options, judiciously applied
Depending on the diagnosis, image-guided options may support specific structures — chosen for the problem, never applied by default.
When it’s beyond regenerative care
Part of an honest evaluation is telling you when a surgical or neurosurgical referral is the better path — and helping coordinate it.
Common questions
Is spine and neck pain evaluated as one system?
Yes. A painful level is often loaded by something else — a girdle that doesn’t stabilize, a chain that overworks one segment. A whole-chain exam and a careful review of your imaging come before any treatment.
What is CCI/AAI, and how is it evaluated?
Craniocervical and atlantoaxial instability (CCI/AAI) is a form of instability seen in EDS and hypermobility. Where it is suspected, evaluation is deliberate and, when appropriate, referred to the right specialist.
Are regenerative treatments used for spine and neck pain?
Depending on the diagnosis, image-guided options may support specific structures — chosen for the problem, never applied by default.
When is a case referred out for spine care?
Part of an honest evaluation is telling you when a surgical or neurosurgical referral is the better path — and helping coordinate it.
