A new patient consultation involves reviewing your pertinent past medical records, discussing your current symptoms and working with you to begin developing your initial treatment plan. Depending on whether or not you have had any evaluative imaging done already, we may recommend an X-Ray, MRI, or another diagnostic tool. We house the capability to perform all of these diagnostics in our office.

Similar to a new patient visit, the goal of the second opinion visit is evaluate your medical past, and provide you with a proper diagnosis and treatment plan based on our assessment. We are happy to discuss what you have been told by other doctors, and help you evaluate your options objectively. In many cases we will agree with the diagnosis you've been given, but in some cases our team might see something another doctor didn't. Either way, a second opinion is always a good idea to help you understand your condition and treatment options.

We are experts in pain management and non-surgical solutions. Our team offers treatments including injection therapy, spinal cord stimulation, medication management, acupressure, manual manipulation , and Botox injection therapy. With the right pain management strategy, many patients find their issues resolved and have no need for surgery.

Sometimes getting to the answer means taking a closer look at the problem, our state of the art radiologic and MRI imaging equipment help us to see what is causing you pain. By better understanding the source of your condition, we can work with you to create your treatment plan and determine the next steps. Our Meridian Campus houses a powerful Open MRI machine, which provides detailed images without being claustrophobic. Additionally, we have both a standing and a tabletop X-Ray machine, allowing us to capture the most essential angles for the spine without discomfort.

Spinal Injections are a nonsurgical procedure which delivers medication directly to your source of pain. For that reason, they are extremely effective at pain relief and can be used diagnostically to identify the source of pain. Injections are often more effective than oral medication, since the injection (typically a steroid) is delievered directly to the the problematic area. Injection therapy provides only temporary relief, but is very benerficial for pain reduction during particularly painful episodes. It is often used in combination with other treatments such as Physical Therapy, and the temporary pain reduction allowed by injections can help patients progress faster in their other treatment plans.

Physical Therapy is one of the most effective treatments for spine conditions. Physical therapists work with patients to manage their condition so they will achieve long-term health benefits and relief from their symptoms. Treatment programs are always tailored to the individual's condition, pain level, age and mobility. Programs often include a combination of stretching, strengthening and conditioning.

In the course of care, patients may need additional support. We offer neck and back bracing solutions to make your recovery comfortable.

We treat Worker’s Compensation-Labor and Industry patients. Additionally we perform IME (Independent Medical Examinations) and PPI (Permanent Partial Impairment) ratings.

We have an experienced, dedicated team working with attorneys and liability insurance companies.

Spinal cord stimulation is a procedure in which small electrical charges are delivered to nerves along the spine in order to reduce chronic neck or back pain.

Spinal Revision Surgery is performed on patients to corrent problems associated with past surgeries.

Fracture stabilization procedures, also known as Vertebral Augmentation, are minimally invasive surgeries that involve injecting bone cement into the damaged vertebra to help it stabilize and heal.

There are a few varieties of scoliosis correction surgery, but they all have the same goal: to stop and/or reduce scoliosis progression. These surgeries include fusion of vertebrae as well as possibly the insertion of rods or material to support the spine.

Spinal discs occasionally become so problematic that the best course of action is to completely replace it with an artificial device that mimics the form and function of a real disc. This type of surgery has an advantage over spinal fusion in that it aims to preserve motion at the site of the problem, whereas spinal fusions limit mobility.

Removal of lamina bone and arthritis tissue causing nerve pressure.

Removal of herniated disc fragments causing pressure of spinal nerves performed through a microscopic incision.

Spinal decompression procedures relieve symptoms caused by pressure (or compression) on the spinal cord or nerve roots. There are many conditions that may require decompression surgery. This surgery involves the removal of some material in the spine which is causing your condition. Typically it is bone or part of a herniated disk, but it could also be removal of bone spurs. These procedures include microdiscectomys and laminectomys, among others.

A Spinal Fusion surgery treats a variety of conditions by connecting two or more vertebrae together to immobilize part of the spine and secure it in a desired position. Fusion surgeries use a bone graft to grow new bone between two vertebrae. Metal plates, screws or rods may be used to hold the vertebrae together while they heal into a solid piece.
