Complex Spine Conditions Evaluated
Spinal pathology often involves multiple structural components—vertebrae, intervertebral discs, facet joints, and the spinal canal. We provide comprehensive, non-surgical diagnostics.
Central Canal Spinal Stenosis
Narrowing of the main spinal canal causing neurogenic claudication—heaviness, cramping, and pain in both legs that forces patients to lean forward or sit while walking.
Spondylolisthesis
Slippage of one spinal vertebra over another (frequently at L4–L5), creating spinal instability, localized low back ache, and pinched nerve roots.
Facet Joint Arthropathy
Arthritic degeneration of the posterior spinal facet joints leading to chronic lower back or neck stiffness that restricts twisting, bending, and extension.
Post-Laminectomy Syndrome (FBSS)
Continued or recurring nerve and back pain after previous spinal fusion, discectomy, or laminectomy surgeries. Specialized revision interventional options.
Degenerative Disc Disease
Age-related disc dehydration and internal disc disruption causing persistent mechanical axial spinal pain exacerbated by prolonged sitting or lifting.
Sacroiliac (SI) Instability
Mechanical strain and inflammation where the sacrum joins the iliac bones of the pelvis. Often confused with lumbar disc problems.
Independent Spine Care with Zero Hospital Facility Fees
Hospital outpatient spine clinics frequently charge substantial facility fees for routine evaluations and procedures, adding hundreds or thousands in unexpected medical bills. At Amara Pain & Spine, all diagnostic assessments and precision fluoroscopic procedures take place in our private South Charlotte suite with zero hospital facility charges.

Comprehensive Spine Evaluation Pathway
We believe that complex spinal disorders require methodical, patient-centered investigation before determining an interventional care plan.
Multi-Segment Spinal Review
Dr. Amara assesses sagittal balance, lumbar/cervical curvature, neurological reflexes, and past CT/MRI scans to correlate your pain with spinal anatomy.
Interventional Targeting
When conservative care requires supplementation, precision image-guided blocks or radiofrequency neurotomy target the exact pain-transmitting nerves.
Restored Daily Function
Our ultimate goal is improving your functional capacity—allowing you to walk comfortably, stand without stooping, drive, and enjoy active family life.

Frequently Asked Questions About Spine Care
Answers to common questions regarding spine evaluations at Amara Pain & Spine.
An interventional spine specialist like Dr. Amara focuses on diagnosing and treating spinal conditions using non-surgical and minimally invasive procedures—such as fluoroscopy-guided injections, nerve blocks, radiofrequency neurotomy, and neuromodulation. Spine surgeons primarily perform open surgical operations (fusions, discectomies, laminectomies). Many patients seek care with us first to explore all proven non-surgical options before considering major surgery.
Yes. A substantial number of patients suffer from recurrent or persistent nerve pain following spinal fusions or discectomies (Failed Back Surgery Syndrome / FBSS). We offer targeted treatments including epidural adhesiolysis, selective nerve blocks, and spinal cord stimulation (SCS) trials designed specifically to relieve post-surgical neuropathic symptoms.
Radiofrequency ablation is a minimally invasive in-office procedure that uses thermal energy to temporarily desensitize the tiny sensory nerves (medial branch nerves) that transmit pain from arthritic facet joints in the spine. Before RFA is performed, diagnostic test blocks verify that the facet joints are the exact source of your pain. RFA can provide sustained pain relief lasting from 6 to 12 months or longer.
