Spine Conditions Treated
Dr. Basques treats the full spectrum of spinal conditions using minimally invasive, endoscopic, robotic, and motion-preserving techniques. Patients travel from across Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New England for his care.
Cervical Disc Herniation
A condition where the soft inner material of a disc in the neck pushes through the outer layer, potentially compressing nerves and causing neck pain, arm pain, numbness, or weakness.
Cervical Myelopathy
Compression of the spinal cord in the neck causing progressive neurological symptoms. A serious condition that requires prompt evaluation by a spine surgeon.
Lumbar Disc Herniation
A ruptured disc in the lower back that presses on spinal nerves, causing sciatica — sharp, shooting pain down the leg. One of the most common reasons patients seek spine care.
Lumbar Stenosis
Narrowing of the spinal canal in the lower back that compresses nerves, commonly causing pain, numbness, and heaviness in the legs with walking or standing.
Lumbar Spondylolisthesis
A condition where one vertebra slips forward over the one below it, causing instability and nerve compression. Can cause significant back and leg pain with activity.
Scoliosis
An abnormal sideways curvature of the spine that can develop in childhood or adulthood. Dr. Basques evaluates and treats both adolescent and adult scoliosis.
