Dr. Ormond is such a kind and caring doctor. He's beyond approachable and really listens to what you say. He's gifted! He is so encouraging! We are in the process of solving the root of the worst burning nerve pain I have ever experienced. He's skilled at finding the source and going after it. I appreciate that he doesn't just throw pills at me like so many doctors do but actually has solutions to try to fix the problem. I have had 2 procedures so far to try to eliminate that horrible pain. Dr. Ormond went over my MRI and explained exactly what he believes is the epicenter of my problem. If I could give Dr Ormond 10 stars I would!! 🌟

Dr Ormond is amazing. He saw my MRI and knew exactly what I needed done. Within a few days he had insurance approved and I went in for the procedure. I had it done without sedation. I would have rather had sedation to calm my nerves but it wasn't that bad. If but If i had to do it again I absolutely would. Sciatic pain is no joke. I'm so thankful this pain is gone. I can finally get back to my normal life. Thank you Dr Ormond you are a blessing.

What is Back Pain
Back pain is a prevalent condition characterized by discomfort in the upper or lower back region.

Managing back pain often involves a combination of therapies tailored to alleviate discomfort and improve mobility.

Back Pain Conditions We Specialize in

Sciatica
A sharp, shooting pain that radiates from your lower back down through your buttocks and leg, often caused by a pinched sciatic nerve.
Herniated Disc
A condition where the soft inner portion of a spinal disc pushes through a tear in the outer layer, sometimes pressing on nerves and causing pain.
Pinched Nerve in Back
Compression or irritation of a nerve root in your spine, often resulting in pain, numbness, or tingling in the affected area.
Spinal Stenosis
A narrowing of the spaces within your spine, which can put pressure on nerves and cause pain, numbness, or weakness in your back or legs.
Degenerative Disc Disease
The gradual wear and tear of the discs in your spine, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
Radiculopathy
Radiculopathy is a condition where a nerve root in the spine becomes compressed or irritated, causing pain numbness, tingling, or weakness.
If you're suffering from any of these conditions or other back pain, don't hesitate to contact Atlas Pain Specialists. We are dedicated to helping you find relief through personalized, interventional pain management options that may help you avoid surgery.
Understanding Back Pain: Symptoms and Manifestations
Back pain manifests in various ways, depending on its underlying cause and severity. Common symptoms include localized discomfort, stiffness, or aching sensations in the upper, middle, or lower back. Pain may range from dull and achy to sharp and stabbing, often worsening with movement or prolonged sitting or standing. Individuals may experience muscle spasms, limited range of motion, or difficulty performing daily activities. In some cases, back pain can radiate to other areas of the body, such as the hips, legs, or buttocks, a condition known as referred pain. Additional symptoms may include numbness, tingling, or weakness in the affected area, indicating potential nerve involvement. 

Chronic back pain lasting more than three months may lead to fatigue, mood changes, and decreased quality of life. It's essential to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment plan to address back pain and its associated symptoms effectively. Early intervention and comprehensive management can help alleviate discomfort, restore function, and improve overall well-being.
