Common Conditions We Treat
SPINAL STENOSIS TREATMENT
Serving patients in the Greater Phoenix, AZ community
Most spinal stenosis cases we treat are caused by wear and tear on the spinal cord and spinal structure, where a narrowing of the spine occurs reducing space affecting one or more locations along the spinal cord. People with severe cases may require surgery to create more space inside the spinal canal, decreasing pain and the symptoms of spinal stenosis.
At Sonoran Pain & Spine, we work with our patients to diagnose their pain and find a solution that will allow them to get back to doing their best.If you are suffering from spinal stenosis, or believe you may be, contact us today and schedule an appointment for treatment with Dr. Minesh Zaveri.
“The entire experience from scheduling an appointment to walking out the door was fantastic. You really get the sense that this is a world class practice. They made me feel welcomed and did not rush through the visit. He, and his PA, answered all my questions and ensured I understood the prognosis and all possible directions of care moving forward. I’m very happy we came across SPS.”
