Back and Spine
Back pain is one of the most common reasons people see a doctor. Whether it's sciatica, a herniated disc or spinal stenosis, we offer comprehensive treatments, from nonsurgical care to spine surgery.
Your back is a complex structure of sensitive nerves, small joints, discs, tendons, muscles and tissue. Any issue with these components can lead to back pain. In fact, 2 out of 3 adults experience back pain at least once. Given the complexity of the human back, treatment may sometimes need the expertise of specialists in sports medicine, neuroscience or orthopedics.
Often, back pain will resolve without surgical intervention. However, some types of back pain require ongoing evaluation and targeted treatment – and that’s where our spine doctors come in. Our team-based, collaborative approach to care means you can count on personalized treatment, whether your back and spine issues are relatively minor or severe.
We provide advanced diagnostic and evaluation services to create the most effective treatment plan for you. Options for care can include nonsurgical therapy, minimally invasive procedures or spine surgery if less invasive treatments haven’t helped ease your back pain.
With our doctors’ guidance and care, we’ll work together to manage your back pain and improve your quality of life.
