We have redesigned our Conditions and Procedures pages to include more information about the painful conditions that we help treat as well as the X-ray guided procedures we can perform to help alleviate your pain and maximize your quality of life. Dr. Sakai is highly trained and has a strong track record of accurately diagnosing complex pain conditions.
As a disc degenerates, the soft inner gel in the disc can leak back into the spinal canal. This is known as disc herniation, or herniated disc. Once inside the spinal canal, the herniated disc material then puts pressure on the nerve, causing pain to radiate down the nerve leading to sciatica or leg pain (from a lumbar herniated disc) or arm pain (from a cervical herniated disc).
Spinal stenosis is a medical condition in which the spinal canal narrows and compresses the spinal cord and nerves. It's critical that a highly trained physician accurately diagnoses the underlying cause of your back pain and other symptoms since the diagnosis dictates the treatment options. At your first visit, ask our doctor about the following possible treatment options for spinal stenosis before considering surgery. Although a suitable program of spinal stenosis exercises may be helpful in the hands of a good physical therapist, it is not curative.
If you are suffering from pain due to a degenerative disc, training and experience must rank high on your list when choosing a physician to correctly diagnose and treat your condition. Our caring, highly qualified, and skilled ABMS Board Certified and ACGME fellowship trained Interventional Pain Doctor can help.

I have been a patient of Dr. Sakai for many years. I have many things going on with my back, and with the support and expertise of Dr. Sakai, we have an effective, on-going, non-invasive treatment approach. Dr. Sakai not only keeps me standing upright, but I can remain active in martial arts, skiing, and otherwise doing fun things with my kids. He brings me exceptional quality of life, with minimal pain. Thanks Dr. Sakai!

In this fast paced insurance driven world Dr. Sakai is one of the few that take the time to listen to you and come up with a solution that best fits you. He is thorough and his office is great to work with. They follow up after procedures to make sure you are OK by assuring you and easing your concerns. I would recommend him to anyone.
