Thoracic disc herniations are a less common but often more complex condition Dr. Joel Edionwe treats in patients throughout South Texas. A board-certified, fellowship-trained spine surgeon based in San Antonio, Dr. Edionwe evaluates patients experiencing mid-back pain, chest wall discomfort, or leg weakness and numbness that can result from a herniated disc pressing on the thoracic spinal cord or nerve roots. Because the thoracic spine has less room for the spinal cord than other regions, even a moderate herniation can lead to significant symptoms. Dr. Edionwe sees patients from across San Antonio as well as those traveling from the Rio Grande Valley and Laredo for specialized spine evaluation and care.
