Treatment options
You’ll receive a thorough exam and custom care plan to target the source of your pain.
Nonsurgical approaches
Conservative care often brings relief, and it’s easy to fit into your daily life.
Physical therapy
Our physical therapy program includes exercises, stretches, and habit changes to help you take charge of your pain. We tailor your treatment plan to your unique condition, activities, and goals.
Image-guided injections
Rehabilitation doctors provide nerve blocks or steroid injections to target pain at the source, offering long-term relief.
Regenerative medicine
Regenerative medicine uses biologic therapies to naturally heal the damaged tissue in your body. These natural substances can reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and promote recovery in the spine and surrounding nerves. Treatment may help you avoid or delay surgery.
Biofeedback therapy
Biofeedback helps you identify and relax tight muscles. You learn how to prevent painful back and neck tension.
Artificial disc surgery
Artificial disc surgery replaces a damaged disc in your spine to relieve pain. Unlike spinal fusion, which locks bones together, this surgery lets your back or neck stay flexible. That means you can move more naturally and feel less stiff. You may also recover sooner. If other treatments haven’t eased your long-lasting back or neck pain, this procedure could help.
People also ask
What are the signs that my back or neck pain could be nerve-related?
Nerve-related pain may feel like burning, tingling, numbness, or weakness that travels into your arms or legs. If you notice these symptoms, seek evaluation right away to prevent further nerve irritation or damage.
How do I know if I need surgery for a spine condition?
We only consider surgery if nonsurgical treatments haven’t provided enough relief. Your provider will review your symptoms, imaging, and health history to determine if a surgical procedure is the best option.
What can I do to support my spine health at home?
Simple habits like maintaining good posture, staying active, using proper lifting techniques, and taking breaks from prolonged sitting can help protect your spine. Your care team can recommend specific exercises based on your unique needs.
