Spine care
Spine specialists, who can be orthopedists or neurosurgeons, diagnose and treat injuries, trauma and diseases related to the spine. Spine care doctors also offer care for herniated discs, nerve damage, sciatica, neck pain or chronic back pain.

Treatments for spine conditions
Our doctors will most often recommend conservative methods of care, such as physical therapy, before recommending spine surgery. However, we know that no two spines are the same. That's why our spine specialists provide individualized treatment from diagnosis through recovery. Regardless of the recommendation for your treatment, we'll sit down with you to create a treatment plan that works for you and your family. Throughout the process, we’ll be right by your side, always there to answer questions, address concerns and do everything we can to keep you informed, comfortable and confident in your care.
Nonsurgical and minimally invasive back and neck treatment
Our nonsurgical and minimally invasive therapies include:
Nerve stimulation techniques
During nerve stimulation, your spine specialist will deliver low-voltage, electrical currents to relieve pain. This technique is minimally invasive and usually not painful for patients.
Rehabilitative care
Rehabilitative care often involves physical therapy to strengthen and stabilize your core—this helps alleviate some of the strain on the spine. This happens under medically supervised fitness plans developed by board-certified physical therapists.
Spinal injections
During a spinal injection, your specialist will use image-guided technology to deliver medication directly to the site causing pain. These medications reduce pain and inflammation.
Advanced spine surgery
For some patients, the thought of spinal surgery can feel overwhelming — and we get that. Which is why our highly-experienced orthopedic teams work hard to ease any concerns you may have.
Our specialists have extensive training and years of experience in performing routine and complex spinal surgeries, such as:
- Discectomy
- Intrathecal pump placement
- Kyphoplasty
- Laminectomy
- Spinal decompression
- Spinal fusion
Every single plan for spine surgery revolves around one person — you. Our doctors partner with you to ensure that you and your family are on board with your treatment because we consider you a part of the team.
Robotic spine surgery
When possible, our spine surgeons are also experienced in performing advanced robot-assisted surgery. During robotic surgery, our surgeons are able to operate with enhanced precision and images of the surgical site. This provides many benefits to you as the patient, including reduced recovery times.
