SPINE, BACK & NECK CONDITIONS
WE TREAT
Your spine is the foundation of movement and strength, so when something’s wrong, it can impact every part of your life. From everyday strains to complex spinal conditions, OrthoBethesda provides expert care tailored to your needs.
Our fellowship-trained spine specialists and spine surgeons treat a full range of conditions using the latest diagnostic tools and evidence-based treatment options.
Arm or leg weakness/numbness
Weakness, tingling, or numbness in the arms or legs may be a sign of nerve or spinal cord compression.
Back pain
Can be caused by muscle strain, disc injury, arthritis, or spine conditions that affect strength, movement, and overall function.
Difficulty standing or walking
Trouble standing or walking can develop when spinal issues affect balance, strength, stability, or nerve function.
Neck pain
Can result from muscle strain, disc problems, arthritis, or nerve compression and may limit movement and daily comfort.
Degenerative disc disease
Occurs when the spinal discs begin to wear down over time, leading to pain, stiffness, or instability.
Spondylolysis
A stress fracture or defect in a vertebra, often seen in the lower back and sometimes in active adolescents.
Herniated disc
When the spinal discs begin to wear down over time, it can lead to pain, stiffness, or instability.
Spondylolisthesis
Occurs when one vertebra slips forward over the one below it, which can lead to pain, instability, or nerve symptoms.
Osteoarthritis / Arthritis
Spinal osteoarthritis is the breakdown of joint cartilage in the spine causing pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
Spinal deformities, fractures & tumors
Complex spine conditions affect spinal alignment, strength, and stability and often require specialized evaluation and treatment.
Pinched nerve in back or neck
Occurs when surrounding structures place pressure on a nerve, causing pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness.
Spinal Stenosis
Spinal stenosis is the narrowing of spaces in the spine that can put pressure on the spinal cord or nerves.
Sciatica
Nerve pain that travels from the lower back to buttock and down the leg, often caused by irritation of the sciatic nerve.
Spinal infection
Spinal infections are serious conditions involving infection in the bones, discs, or surrounding tissues of the spine.

Abnormal sideways curvature of the spine that can range from mild to more complex cases in both children and adults.

HAPPY CLIENTS
"Dr. O’Brien is truly outstanding. He was incredibly informative and took the time to thoroughly explain everything, answering all of our questions with patience and care. His thoughtful and honest approach gave me the confidence I needed during a very stressful time.
Most importantly, Dr. O’Brien saved me from undergoing an unnecessary and potentially serious surgery that had been recommended by another surgeon. I am so grateful for his expertise, integrity, and the time he took to ensure I received the right care."
"Great doctor, from the first time I met him two years ago until my follow up appointment yesterday, following my back surgery. He took the time to explain my situation and the steps needed for a successful recovery. My surgery was ten days ago and I feel great thanks to his care and attentiveness. I couldn’t have asked for a better doctor giving my situation."
"Dr Fisch is has been helping me with me back problems for many years now. He is a a listener, provides excellent treatment and makes helpful recommendations for me to follow. I would highly recommended him, he’s the best!"
