Headaches
Arthritis
These headaches are characterized by neck pain that spreads to the back of the head toward the front. The headaches are moderate in intensity with a burning or aching quality. The pain usually follows the distribution of the occipital nerve and gives rise from the C1-4 cervical nerve roots. The neck is often tender to firm touch especially in the upper parts closer to the base of the head. These symptoms are often caused from spinal joint fixation (biomechanical joint problems), whiplash injuries, degenerative disc disease, herniated discs and rarely tumors, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and osteomyelitis (bone infections).
Medical Weight Loss
Permanent Lifestyle Changes. Weight can play a role in the severity of pain, so your doctor may prescribe exercise, weight loss, and more to lessen the strain on your spine.
Constipation
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Back pain can sometimes work in concert with constipation. However, back pain is the symptom rather than the cause. In certain cases, the backup of stool in the colon can result in a dull, lingering discomfort. More severe pain can be traced to unrelated conditions, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or pinched nerves.
Pneumonia

Gynecologists

Pregnancy
Labor and Delivery
Kayla Meadows has been practicing nursing since 2008. She graduated from Texas A&M Corpus Christi and became certified by the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners in May 2019. She received her Family Nurse Practitioners license through the Texas Board of Nursing on June 12, 2019. She is a member of the Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society, Golden Key Honor Society, Texas Nurse Practitioners Association, American Academy of Nurse Practitioners, and the Hill Country Nurse Practitioner Association. She has experience in long-term care, telemetry, pre-op, post-op, nursery, postpartum, and labor and delivery.

Internists

Kidney Stones
Nausea is another issue relating to the digestive tract, and similarly to constipation, the associated back pain is symptomatic and not a trigger for nauseous feelings. A combination of back pain and nausea can be a warning sign for conditions such as biliary colic, appendicitis, kidney stones, or even heart attacks. In women, back pain and nausea are often associated with pregnancy.

Neurologists

Neurology
Meredith is a Board-Certified Acute Care Nurse Practitioner with experience in neurology, emergency medicine, and occupational medicine. She graduated from Vanderbilt University School of Nursing in Nashville, TN with a Master of Science in Nursing in 2012.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
The numbness and tingling occurs from a lack of signal or energy flow down the nerve due to the nerve being compressed or “pinched.” The nervous system can be thought of as a highway of energy flowing in a particular direction, but when traffic backs up, the signal stops and never reaches its target destination such as the hands and feet. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome provides its own set of challenges.

Psychiatrists

Depression
Mental Health
Medication. Because spinal stenosis is currently incurable, your doctor may prescribe pain management medications, such as NSAIDs and opioids (on a case-by-case basis). You may even be prescribed antidepressants to manage the mental health issues associated with chronic pain.
Psychiatry
Pain Management is a medical specialty that focuses on relieving pain from patients through interventional procedures like spinal injections, joint injections, nerve blocks, and radiofrequency ablation. Pain doctors undergo a primary specialty in Anesthesia, Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, or Neurology/Psychiatry before doing post-residency training in Pain Management.
Insomnia
Anxiety

Radiologist

Ultrasound
Our Chiropractors follow evidence-based medical literature to ensure your safety and get you relief in the quickest amount of time possible. Chiropractic adjustments are often used in combination with therapeutic conditioning exercises and physical modalities like ultrasound and myofascial release to address both mechanical joint pain and associated muscle pain contributing to your symptoms.
MRI
Finding nerve issues that accompany numbness typically requires diagnosis using an MRI or similar technique to find nerve structure damage. Sometimes, surgery is required in severe cases to treat the nerve compression or else the symptoms may become permanent.
Radiology
Dr. Barton has twenty years’ experience in chiropractic care within a multi-disciplined outpatient clinic offering a wide range of services including Interventional Pain Management and Vascular & Interventional Radiology. He is passionate about helping patients live their best life through mitigating their pain and optimizing their health.
X-Rays
Computed Tomography
The slow and mild symptom onset can make spinal stenosis difficult to diagnose. At Texas Spine Clinic, we leave no stone unturned to make sure you have the correct diagnosis and treatment plan. This may include a physical examination, a CT scan or an MRI.
Interventional Radiology

Surgeons

Sciatica
Sciatica refers to a condition that is characterized by sharp shooting pains, such as burning, stinging, or numbing, that begin in the buttocks and travels down the leg to the foot.
Whiplash
Other synonyms for whiplash include cervical sprain/strain. Symptoms of whiplash include neck pain, stiffness, loss of normal range of motion, muscle spasm, headaches, hoarseness or difficulty swallowing, numbness or tingling in the arms or hands, and upper back pain.
Pinched Nerve
Nerves extend from your spinal cord out to your extremities, so pinched nerves can affect any place in the body. Pinched nerve pain can be ever changing and difficult to place. It’s also difficult to describe the symptoms of pinched nerve pain.

Dermatologists

Lesions
When the spinal cord is impinged with a large disc herniation or with associated spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal), symptoms such as heaviness in the legs, loss of fine motor skills or an inability to walk a brisk pace may develop. These symptoms are referred to as myelopathy. This is an associated condition that is much more serious and the causes of such symptoms should be investigated quickly. Myelopathy can also be caused from space occupying lesions such as tumors pressing on the spinal cord.
Burns

Physical Therapists

Sports Medicine
A broad term generally reserved for injuries occurring while engaged in athletic activities, sports injuries commonly involve the musculoskeletal system: your bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage. It is important to treat your sports injury as soon as possible so you can avoid chronic problems that could impair function and loss of playtime in the long-term.
Physical Therapy
At Texas Spine Clinic, we employ a range of non-surgical procedures designed to help you heal properly and get back on your feet quickly. Our staff of trained medical professionals combines cutting-edge techniques with time-tested physical therapy to help you find relief from your sports-related injuries.
Slipped Disc
A herniated disc — sometimes called a bulging or slipped disc — occurs when a disc or discs begin to bulge due to pressure. Eventually, they tear through the fibrous tissue; i.e. the jelly comes out. This goo can then press on nerves and other tissues, causing a variety of symptoms besides pain and inflammation to occur.
Neck Pain
Back Pain

Podiatrists

Ankle Sprain
Our clinic utilizes the LiteCure LCT-1000, an innovative laser therapy system designed to alleviate pain and facilitate healing by using a process called “biosimulation.” Treatments are non-surgical and non-contact, meaning our doctors can provide the treatment without the strains that cold laser or low level laser systems may have. Laser therapy is commonly used to treat neck pain, back pain, joint pain, and wrist, hand, and ankle injuries.
