Our team of experienced orthopedic specialists and pain management experts takes the time to understand your unique situation.

Our approach to low back pain management extends beyond temporary relief.

From assessment to personalized treatment plans, our orthopedic specialists prioritize collaboration, compassion, and evidence-based practices. We believe in holistic care, offering a diverse range of options to address your pain:

Non-invasive therapies: Physical therapy, chiropractic care, acupuncture, and massage can work wonders in alleviating muscle tension, improving flexibility, and restoring proper spinal alignment.
Minimally invasive procedures: For targeted pain relief, we may employ techniques like nerve blocks, epidural steroid injections or facet joint injections, offering quicker recovery times and less intrusive intervention or used when other treatments have failed.
Surgical options: When conservative methods aren't enough, our skilled surgeons perform a variety of advanced procedures, from spinal decompression to fusion, with minimally invasive techniques whenever possible.
