Back and neck pain may be caused by compression or damage to nerve roots resulting from a variety of possible causes. These include degeneration of the vertebral bone (the bone which protects the spinal cords), herniation of the gelatin-like disc between vertebrae, narrowing of the spinal column through which the spinal cord runs, or through trauma. With electromyography and electro-diagnostic (EMG/NCV) testing, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), our specialists are able to determine the cause and severity of the symptoms.
