    Help for Back and Spinal Problems

    Your back is a complex structure of highly sensitive nerves, small joints and discs, as well as tendons, muscles and tissue. A problem with any one of these components can cause back pain. In fact, most people have back pain at some point in their lives. Fortunately most back problems typically improve without surgical intervention.

    Because of the complexity of the human back, treatment may sometimes require specially trained experts in spinal medicine. At PAMF, experts offer comprehensive care for a wide range of back and spine problems, from degenerative discs and scoliosis to osteoporosis and spinal stenosis.

    We provide advanced diagnostic and evaluation services in order to create the most effective treatment plan for you. Options for care can include non-surgical therapy, minimally invasive procedures or spinal surgery if less invasive treatments haven't improved your quality of life.

    Our board-certified Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation physicians perform non-surgical interventional spine procedures to help patients suffering from spinal pain syndromes.

    Our board-certified spine surgeons perform minimally invasive and complex spine surgery for patients with spinal pain, spine tumors and cancer, neurological injuries, and structural deformities.
