Back, neck, and spine doctors are specialty-trained medical experts whose medical practice focuses on diagnosing and treating injuries and conditions of the back, neck, and spine, such as scoliosis, spinal stenosis, and spinal cord injuries. While all of these spine specialists are able to offer spine treatments that are nonoperative procedures, some have also undergone extensive surgical training and have the skills required to perform surgery.

Our experts have extensive training in the surgical and nonsurgical care of the spine and are dedicated to providing you with the specialized, compassionate care you need to become stronger.

Expert Back, Neck & Spine Care for a Stronger You

During an exam, our doctors will ask the patient details about their back pain or spinal problem. They may also request an X-ray or additional tests to better understand the injury. Once they determine the diagnosis, our specialists will create an individualized treatment plan specific to the patient’s needs.

When our doctors and surgeons develop a treatment plan for a patient with a spinal problem, their first step is always to consider nonoperative treatment options, such as physical therapy. Although every patient is unique, oftentimes there is a nonoperative treatment that can improve or even eliminate neck or back pain. However, sometimes the patient’s spinal issue will not respond to nonsurgical options or becomes so problematic that surgery is recommended as the best choice.

If spine surgery is the best option for you, our board-certified and specialty-trained spine surgeons will work with you to create a surgical treatment plan that is right for your spine injury or condition. Our surgical team is equipped with state-of-the-art technology as well as the knowledge and surgical skills needed to treat your neck or back pain and get you on the road to becoming stronger.
