Common Pain Problems We Treat

Our Leading-Edge Services

  • Diagnostic and therapeutic injections: Precisely targeted injections used both to identify the source of pain and to deliver relief directly to the affected area, reducing inflammation and improving function.
  • Radiofrequency techniques: A minimally invasive procedure that uses heat generated by radio waves to interrupt pain signals from specific nerves, providing longer-lasting relief for chronic pain conditions.
  • MILD – Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression: A safe, outpatient procedure for patients with lumbar spinal stenosis that removes excess tissue to restore space in the spinal canal and reduce leg and back pain.
  • Neuromodulation – Dorsal Column Stimulation: An advanced therapy that delivers mild electrical impulses to the spinal cord to interrupt pain signals before they reach the brain, often used for chronic, hard-to-treat pain.
  • Injury rehabilitation service: Structured, individualized rehabilitation programs designed to restore strength, mobility, and function following spinal injuries or surgical procedures.
  • Neuroablative procedures: Specialized treatments that selectively deactivate pain-transmitting nerve tissue to provide lasting relief for patients with severe or persistent pain.
  • Osteoporosis treatment: Comprehensive care for patients whose spine pain is related to bone density loss, including evaluation, management, and fracture prevention strategies.
  • X-ray, MRI, and CT: On-site advanced imaging that allows our specialists to quickly and accurately diagnose the root cause of your pain without the need for an outside referral.
  • Digital x-ray: Fast, high-resolution digital imaging available on-site to support rapid diagnosis and same-visit treatment planning.

Workers Comp: Getting Patients Back to Work

We work hard to get our patients back to work as quickly as possible. Using a wide array of treatments and therapies, we customize a plan to maximize relief and minimize time off.

Case Management

At the SpineCare Center, case management means care management. By coordinating the efforts of our specialized treatment team, the case manager helps guide the patient through the rehabilitation process, from evaluation to case closure. Our goal, working with the patient and the treatment team, is to achieve successful outcomes in a timely manner.

SpineCare Center FAQs

When should I see a spine specialist for back or neck pain?

If your pain lasts longer than a few weeks, keeps returning, limits your daily activities, or is accompanied by symptoms such as numbness, tingling, or weakness, it may be time to see a spine specialist. Early evaluation can help identify the cause and prevent symptoms from worsening.

What can I expect during my first spine care appointment?

Your first visit typically includes a review of your medical history, a discussion of your symptoms, a physical examination, and, if needed, imaging studies to help determine the source of your pain and create a personalized treatment plan.

What imaging tests are used to diagnose spine problems?

Depending on your symptoms, your provider may recommend digital X-rays, MRI scans, or CT scans. These imaging tools help identify issues such as disc problems, nerve compression, fractures, arthritis, and other spinal conditions.

Can spine care help with chronic pain conditions?

Yes. Spine specialists often treat chronic pain conditions that have not responded to other treatments. Advanced therapies such as neuromodulation, neuroablative procedures, and rehabilitation programs may provide long-term relief and improved quality of life.
