Our approach

Our stepwise, non-surgical approach to care allows us to personalize your treatment and  focus on the most conservative and complete care for your neck and back pain.

The expert team at our Center for Neck and Back Pain represent a wide range of specialties in neurology, pain care, physiatry and sports medicine with support from our partners, Motion Sports Medicine and Orthology.

We also work in close collaboration with Optum musculoskeletal radiologists, neuroradiologists, orthopedics, rheumatology, as well as your primary care physician.

  • Myelopathy (damage to the spinal cord due to something pressing on it)
  • Herniated disc (also known as a bulged, slipped or ruptured disc)
