According to the Arthritis Foundation, over 54 million adults live with a form of doctor-diagnosed arthritis. That population size is expected to increase to over 74 million within the next 20 years.

Compression & Others

However, for some, depending on diet, genetics and other factors, this degeneration happens much faster and can lead to nerve compression, causing pain throughout the back and lower limbs, such as with Sciatica. This pain lead to depression and a decreased quality of life for those experiencing it. Let Dr. Stephen Courtney help you to regain the life you had before the pain by creating a manageable treatment plan fitted just for you. For some, these options can even include non-surgical interventions such as lumbar epidural, lumbar transforaminal, or sacroiliac joint steroid injections.
