Conservative Treatment Options

Avoid Unnecessary Surgery.

Did you know 90% of back problems are non-surgical and a large group of patients do not even require immediate imaging? (Greenburg, 2016, p. 1024) Oftentimes, minimally invasive techniques such as physical therapy, lifestyle changes, and pain management options can be a part of a successful treatment plan. For this reason, a large majority of our patients’ first point of contact is with our pain management specialists. 

Positive Results. Minimal Recovery Time.

Our skilled team of pain management providers offer the most advanced non-surgical options to help patients reduce pain and increase mobility. Services that may be right for you include:  

  • Epidural Steroid Injections 
  • Radiofrequency ablation 
  • Medial branch block 
  • Facet joint injections 
  • Trigger point injections 
  • Occipital nerve blocks 
  • Spinal cord stimulator  
  • Sacroiliac joint injections  
  • Prolozone injections 
  • Perineural injections 
  • Plasma rich protein injections

Surgical Options

Our specialists treat numerous conditions that affect the spine, including herniated discs, sciatica, pinched nerves, spinal stenosis, fractures, spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis, radiculopathy, scoliosis, kyphosis (unnatural curvature of the spine), spinal deformities, degenerative disc disease, arthritis and tumors.

The team’s board-certified surgeons are highly skilled in the latest minimally invasive techniques of spine surgery, which allows for less post-operative pain, smaller incisions and faster recovery time. Many of our minimally invasive procedures are done on an outpatient basis, preventing the need for overnight hospitalization.

We can often avoid the use of general anesthesia, relying instead on highly effective regional anesthetic techniques. Our physicians are also experienced in traditional open spine surgery. Depending on the procedure, surgeons may use an anterior, posterior or lateral approach to the spine.
