Axis Spine and Orthopedics

Are you looking for a spine surgeon in St. Louis MO?

Do you have chronic back pain? If you do, it should not be blown off as “just another sign of old age”. Nor should you ignore it because you are afraid to have major surgery or do not have an extended amount of time to be laid up in bed.  If you are looking for a spine surgeon in St. Louis MO who can help identify the cause to your back pain, look no further. 

At Axis Spine and Orthopedics, we have numerous non invasive and minimally invasive treatments to help you enjoy life fully again. 

But how do you know if your back pain is serious enough to make an appointment with a spine specialist?

If you have rested, iced it, been to your chiropractor (if using), and it has been more than two weeks, you need to schedule an appointment with Dr. Swaz Sinha, MD and his staff at Axis Spine and Orthopedics. After listening to all of your medical and pain history, Dr. Swaz will conduct x-rays, an MRI, or CT Scan to find out where exactly in your spine the problem is and what the issue is. A pinched nerve near the tailbone is less serious and will require shorter and less invasive treatment than a bulged or slipped disk in the middle of your back.

What are some signs that you may need a St. Louis MO Spine Surgeon?

Here are some signs and symptoms that might be a qualifier for minimally invasive surgery by our St. Louis MO Spine Surgeon:

  • The pain never goes away and gets worse over time.
  • Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the arms or legs. This can be caused by compressed nerves in the spine due to herniated disks or bone spurs.
  • Bowel or bladder issues from pressure on the nerves that control bowel and bladder functions as a result of disc herniation or spinal stenosis.
  • Back pain from degenerative spinal conditions such as spinal stenosis or spinal arthritis, identified by spinal deformity and/or spinal instability on an MRI or CT Scan.
  • Pain and lack of mobility has led to a lower quality of life.

Axis Spine and Orthopedics accepts Aetna, Medicare, and United Health Care insurances. You can schedule an appointment here or by calling (314)949-2893 for the St. Louis office.
