Practicing in New Orleans, Dr. Stephen Rynick utilizes many advanced, minimally invasive procedures to relieve patients of spine pain.  For example, he performs “percutaneous discectomies” to relieve the pressure of bulging discs on adjacent nerve roots. The patient’s recovery time is drastically reduced and there is no scarring.

Most recently, he has utilized a similar technique specifically designed to address low back pain caused by facet osteoarthritis and spinal stenosis, common in older patients. Even with the relief these procedures can provide, Dr. Rynick advises his patients to stay in shape to avoid low back problems.

“Pilates, yoga and tai chi are just a few of the ways to build your core muscles.”
