Our nonsurgical treatment includes osteopathic manipulative medicine,
physical medicine and rehabilitation, and interventional pain management. We
incorporate exercise, diet and functional integration into customized individual
treatment for each person in every stage of his or her rehabilitation. We work
extremely hard to first treat our patients without surgery and will review all of
the options with you.
If surgery is required, we employ the latest methods, including vertebroplasty/
Kyphoplasty and other minimally invasive approaches, to dramatically reduce
recovery time. Surgeons at the Spine Center invented many innovative
procedures, including the X-Stop implant for treatment of spinal stenosis and
Staflex to avoid fusion.
