You can see Dr. Gebauer for a range of spine conditions. Some of the most common conditions he helps patients with are spinal stenosis, sciatica, and radiculopathy.

• Spinal stenosis occurs when the spinal canal narrows, often because of arthritis. It can cause numbness, weakness, and trouble walking. Standing for long periods can also be difficult.
• Sciatica is pain from a pinched sciatic nerve. Symptoms such as tingling and burning sensations can travel down the leg. These symptoms can make daily activities and movement harder.
• Radiculopathy can happen when spinal nerves are compressed. It can cause sharp pain, muscle weakness, and loss of reflexes. These symptoms can make daily life seem exhausting.

Dr. Gebauer uses a team-based approach that brings together specialists to address complex spine conditions. He combines advanced diagnostic tests with personalized treatment plans based on each patient’s unique needs. “I pride myself on really listening to patients. I make every effort to explain things clearly and collaborate with my patients to develop a treatment plan,” he says. “I take the whole person into account, not just their pain or spinal condition, but their overall health and personal goals. Whether it is decreasing pain, improving function, or maintaining mobility, my goal is to help each patient achieve what matters most to them,” says Dr. Gebauer. Dr. Gebauer is dedicated to finding the optimal treatment for each patient’s recovery.
