Back or neck pain that doesn’t go away could be more than just a strain—it may be a herniated disc. This condition occurs when the soft inner material of a spinal disc pushes through its tougher outer layer, placing pressure on nearby nerves. The result can be pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness that radiates into the arms or legs.

Whether it’s lumbar disc pain in the lower back or cervical disc pain in the neck, early evaluation is key to preventing symptoms from worsening.

At Texas Spine Associates, our spine specialists provide precise diagnosis and individualized treatment plans designed to reduce pain and restore function.

If symptoms are persistent or worsening, don’t wait—schedule a consultation to explore your options for relief.

Chronic lower back pain caused by spinal instability or degenerative disc disease can significantly impact daily life. For patients who require surgical intervention, advancements in spine surgery now allow for more precise and less invasive options.

Minimally Invasive Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (Mi-PLIF) is designed to stabilize the spine using smaller incisions and muscle-sparing techniques—often completed through an incision of approximately two inches. This approach reduces tissue disruption while promoting effective spinal fusion and alignment.

At Texas Spine Associates, our spine specialists provide advanced surgical care using state-of-the-art technology and intra-operative guidance to optimize outcomes for each patient.

This may include a detailed review of prior surgery, physical examination, imaging studies, and advanced diagnostic tests such as MRI with contrast, CT myelography, or nerve block procedures to pinpoint the source of pain.

Sciatica is often used to describe leg pain that starts in the lower back and travels through the buttock and down the leg. While the symptoms can be intense—burning, tingling, numbness, or weakness—sciatica itself is not a diagnosis. It is a symptom of an underlying spine condition such as a herniated disc, degenerative disc disease, or spinal stenosis.

At Texas Spine Associates, our board-certified spine surgeons specialize in identifying the true source of sciatic nerve irritation so treatment can be directed at the cause—not just the symptoms.

Our team, including Dr. Neil Shah, Dr. Vishal Patel, and Dr. Christopher Happ, works to provide accurate diagnosis and personalized care for every patient.
