Most people don’t realize they may have a herniated disc.

They think it’s a pulled muscle.
Or aging.
Or something they just have to live with.

But when back pain starts radiating down your leg…
When your foot tingles…
When sitting makes it worse instead of better…

That’s often nerve compression — and very commonly, it’s a herniated disc.

One of the most important things I tell my patients is this: Before you seek treatment — before injections, therapy, or surgery — you must get the correct diagnosis.

The most important step in treating a herniated disc is understanding exactly what is causing your pain. Not all back pain is the same, and not all disc findings on an MRI are the true pain generator. Getting it right first can prevent months — or years — of unnecessary suffering.

At SA Spine, our comprehensive pain clinic focuses on precise diagnosis and personalized care. Most herniated discs DO NOT require surgery, but they do require expert evaluation.

Whether you live in Houston, San Antonio, or outside Texas, clarity comes before treatment.

If you suspect your pain may be more than ā€œjust back pain,ā€ I encourage you to learn more.

šŸ‘‰ Contact our comprehensive clinic at SA Spine to schedule a professional evaluation.

You don’t have to guess what’s causing your pain. Let’s find out.

Our Story

SASPINE (Surgical Associates in Spine) is one of the nation’s most elite spine practice management companies. We now have offices in Houston as well as the San Antonio medical center. Our CMO, Steven J. Cyr, M.D., is a spine surgeon who has gained a reputation for surgical excellence in Texas, throughout the nation, and abroad. All of our providers are experienced at isolating the source of pain and accurately diagnosing and treating symptoms and conditions using both non-operative and operative means. We strive to treat the whole patient from the onset of pain to post-surgical rehabilitation.

Our philosophy is to seek conservative, non-surgical solutions for a patient’s neurological, muscular, or skeletal problems first. If non-surgical treatment fails to provide significant pain relief and surgery is required, our patients benefit from surgical procedures provided by world-class surgeons, including Dr. Steven J. Cyr, who trained at the prestigious Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. The Mayo clinic spine fellowship is a combined fellowship providing both neurosurgical and orthopaedic expertise to its fellows, making them experts in treating cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine conditions. Both the Neurosurgery and Orthopaedic departments have consistently been ranked number 1 in the country for more than 20 years. This unique approach provides patients with a level of care provided by few surgeons in the world. As a previous collegiate athlete, bodybuilder, and Orthopaedic surgeon, Dr. Cyr’s unique background enables him to understand the source of muscular and skeletal issues unlike many others. Coupled with fellowship training in Orthopaedic and Neurosurgery of the spine, his ability to diagnose the source of pain and identify solutions to address it are rare.

Dr. Cyr previously served in the United States Air Force as the Chief of Spine Surgery and Spine Surgery Consultant to the Surgeon General and the Pentagon. Dr. Cyr was also an assistant professor to the orthopedic surgery residents, physician assistant fellows, and medical students at Wilford Hall Medical Center and the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences. His extensive experience includes treating Level 1 trauma victims and combat injured Soldiers, Airmen, Sailors, Marines, and civilians during two tours to Iraq during Operation Enduring Freedom. This experience provided him with skills rarely seen in the private sector. His training also allowed him the opportunity to lend innovative techniques to the military. Dr Cyr performed the first total disc replacement procedure as well as endoscopic spinal surgery in the Air Force in addition to surgery for degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, failed back syndrome (revision surgeries for failed operations), spine trauma, scoliosis surgery, and cancer of the spine. He specializes in addressing complicated spine issues and has gained notoriety for successful repairs of failed surgeries on patients from numerous other states and around the world. He is a member of the Society for Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery but believes every patient must be evaluated individually and a treatment plan tailored to that patient’s diagnosis crafted to provide the best outcome, which commonly involves open procedures.

Dr. Cyr and his mid-level providers, who are hand-picked and specially trained by him, define success by the number of people who are able to live a better quality of life after treatment. In attention to his methodical and meticulous approach to surgical excellence, Dr Cyr is a man of character and compassion who believes in treating patients like family. This reputation is apparent in the heart-felt testimonies regularly provided by patients who have received his care. In addition, he has become world renowned as a premier provider of spine surgery with success rates rarely seen elsewhere. He has been named a Texas Super Doctor, Castle-Connelly Top Spine Surgeon multiple years in a row, and America’s Top 10 Orthopaedic surgeons, amongst many other recognitions and awards. We are excited to show you the SASPINE difference. Come see for yourself what sets us apart.
