The Spine Center Approach
We incorporate a unique team approach at The Spine Center where you are cared for not by one physician, but rather our group of experts including pain management and physical medicine and rehabilitation specialists, interventional radiologists, physiatrists, neurologists, rheumatologists, spine surgeons, neurosurgeons, specialized pharmacists as well as certified physical and occupational therapists. This approach ensures that you get the best possible combination of treatment options based on your specific type of back pain diagnosis, including your examination findings, lifestyle, occupation and recreational interests. To make your care as effective and convenient as possible, you will communicate with a care coordinator who works directly with each of the specialists to coordinate the details of your treatment so that you can focus on just getting healthy.
Our approach is not only comprehensive in treatment, but in scope as well. Prior to treatment, you receive pre-conditioning education to make your experience as pain free as possible. Following treatment, you receive instructions on recommended exercise and proper body mechanics, and in some cases group therapy sessions, to keep you healthy and active down the road.
