Back pain represents one of the most common reasons for missing work and for visiting a doctor. In fact, one half of all working Americans admit to having back pain symptoms each year.

The good news is that 90% of people with back pain will get better within four weeks and only 5% will remain disabled longer than three months. The key is having a good diagnosis followed by proper treatment.

The Team Approach

At Doctors Medical Center, our spine care services are designed specifically for back pain patients. It reflects our vision that a core group of dedicated and trained specialists, working together, can provide faster recovery and improved outcomes for these patients.

Each member of our physician team is board-certified, with special training in spine disorders. Our team  includes specialists in neurology, neurosurgery, interventional radiology, pain management, physical medicine and rehabilitation and, diagnostic radiology.

Our Program

Our Spine Care incorporates diagnostic and treatment protocols that reflects the input of our specially-trained team, including some of the latest evidence-based medicine and research as well as relevant literature from the medical community at large. We do this because we believe in providing care proven, over time, to be beneficial to patients; care that is more likely to ensure your satisfaction with your treatment and outcome.

Our treatment plans start with conservative methods of back pain management such as anti-inflammatory drugs, heat and cold therapy, special exercises, or massage. If pain does not resolve using conservative methods, surgery may be recommended using minimally-invasive techniques for fewer complications, less pain and a faster recovery and return to normal activities.
