| At Southwest Spine Center, we treat each patient on an individual, case by case basis. This allows us to take a personal approach to health care. We treat the patient rather than the symptoms. Here are basic explanations of some common issues we’ve seen success in treating: |

Degenerative Disc Disease

Scoliosis
Scoliosis refers an exaggerated serpentine curvature of the spine. This irregular condition may put stress on vital organs and increase susceptibility or worsen the effects of other spinal conditions. |

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
CTS typically results from repeated stress or motion of the hand, wrist, or arm. Moderate to severe pain, swelling and enlarged tendons are common symptoms associated to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. If left untreated, CTS can lead to a loss of normal functionality in the affected areas. |
