    Contact IH Spine & Pain MD

    Thank you for visiting IH Spine & Pain MD.
    This blog exists to give you clearer, calmer explanations about spine and pain conditions, so you can walk into your next appointment feeling more prepared and less overwhelmed.

    If you’d like to get in touch, you’re in the right place.

    Before You Reach Out

    Please keep in mind:

    • We cannot provide individual medical advice by email or through this site.
    • We cannot diagnose, prescribe, or comment on specific test results (MRI, X-ray, injections, medications, etc.).
    • If you have urgent or worrying symptoms, please contact your own doctor or local emergency services immediately.

    This contact page is for feedback about the blog itself, not for personal medical care.

    Reasons to Contact Us

    You are very welcome to write if you:

    • Have a suggestion for a topic or question you’d like to see covered on the blog
    • Notice something that is unclear and want a better explanation or example
    • Find a medical inaccuracy, broken link, or technical issue on the site
    • Are a healthcare professional, educator, or publisher interested in collaboration or educational projects related to spine and pain medicine

    Thoughtful feedback from readers helps shape future posts and makes this resource more useful for everyone.

    How to Reach IH Spine & Pain MD

    Please use the contact form on this page (or the published email address, if shown) and include:

    1. Your name (first name only is fine)
    2. Your general location (city/country – optional, but helpful for context)
    3. The reason for your message – for example:
      • “Topic request: lumbar spinal stenosis walking program”
      • “Question about explanation in the sciatica article”
      • “Collaboration: patient education materials for clinic use”

    We do our best to read every message. While we cannot reply to all emails, we carefully review them when planning future content.

    What We Cannot Do by Email

    For your safety and privacy, we’re not able to:

    • Comment on your specific MRI, CT, or X-ray results
    • Tell you which medication, injection, or surgery you personally should have
    • Confirm or rule out a diagnosis
    • Give advice in place of your own doctor or specialist

    Any personal health questions you send may not receive a reply, even if they are read, because answering them responsibly requires a full medical evaluation that is impossible online.

    In Case of Emergency

    If you are experiencing any of the following:

    • Sudden, severe back or neck pain after a fall or accident
    • New weakness, trouble walking, or loss of control of your legs
    • Loss of bladder or bowel control or numbness in the groin area
    • Chest pain, difficulty breathing, or any symptom that feels like an emergency

    Please do not wait for an email response.

    Contact your local emergency number or go to the nearest emergency department immediately.

    A Final Note

    Reaching out about pain is not a small thing. Many readers arrive here after months or years of feeling rushed, dismissed, or confused. If you take the time to send a thoughtful message, know that it is appreciated.

    IH Spine & Pain MD cannot replace your doctor. But together, through clear information and respectful conversation, we can make your next medical decision feel a little less like guesswork and a little more like informed choice.
