Back Pain Treatment
Non-Surgical Treatment
Your back and neck pain or spine injury may not require surgery. Our non-surgical treatments include these options and more:
- Physical therapy
- Injections
- Pain management
- Exercise
Minimally Invasive Surgery
If you need surgery, we offer several minimally invasive surgeries with generally shorter surgery times, hospital stays, and recovery times. Minimally invasive spine surgery is an advanced, highly effective alternative to traditional surgical techniques. Often available on an outpatient basis, these procedures uses a microsurgical technique and a smaller incision to focus on the source of back pain and correct the problem. Although this less-invasive approach cannot correct all spine conditions or injuries, it may be appropriate for:
- Disc degeneration
- Fractures
- Herniated discs
- Lumbar stenosis
- Misaligned vertebrae
- Spinal stenosis
Traditional Surgery
For some conditions, traditional spine surgery may be the most effective treatment option for you. If you need traditional surgery we offer multiple surgical options, including:
- Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (ALIF)
- Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF)
- Lumbar Laminectomy for stenosis
- Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion (LLIF)
- Lumbar Microdiscectomy
- Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF)
- Cervical Laminectomy and Fusion
- Posterior Lumbar Fusion (PLF)
- Disc Replacement Surgery
