About Dr. Rynick

I specialize in advanced, minimally invasive procedures to relieve spine pain with little to no scarring. Practicing in New Orleans, I use state-of-the-art technologies—including percutaneous discectomies—to reduce pressure from bulging discs and help patients recover quickly with minimal downtime.

Recently, I’ve adopted a similar technique for treating low back pain caused by facet osteoarthritis and spinal stenosis, which are especially common in older adults. While these procedures offer significant relief, I always emphasize the importance of long-term spine health.

My little something extra

Strengthening the core is one of the most effective ways to prevent and manage low back pain. I often recommend exercises like Pilates, yoga, and tai chi to help my patients stay active and avoid recurring issues.
