It’s unfortunate, but true. At some point in their lives, most people will suffer from back pain. In fact, only the common cold tops back pain as a reason for doctor visits and missed work days!
When back or other spinal illness or injury brings you to St. Luke's Orthopedics, every aspect of your care is coordinated through just one doctor. This doctor then works on your behalf with a variety of specialists to ensure you receive the best overall care, while simplifying the treatment process. Our coordinated approach helps to ensure that your spinal problems are diagnosed early and can prevent some conditions from turning into chronic problems.
The following resources are available to treat your back pain:
-Physical therapy and exercises
-Interventional pain services
-Education and behavioral intervention
-Complementary therapies-such as massage or acupuncture
-Surgery
Our staff can treat the majority of spine problems without surgery, but in cases where surgery may be required, rest assured that our coordinated approach ensures minimally-invasive surgical procedures and the rehabilitation you need for a successful recovery.
