Nonsurgical Care

At the initial patient assessment, our team will review the patient’s history and diagnostic imaging and recommend treatment that may include nonsurgical care and pain management.

Specially trained, board-certified anesthesiologists — also certified in pain management — develop plans to help Spine Center patients manage and overcome pain through a combination of:

  • Medications
  • Physical therapy
  • Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS)
  • Injection therapy
  • Steroid therapy
  • Diet counseling
