Comprehensive Care for Neck and Back Pain

Orthopaedic & Neurosurgery Specialists (ONS) leads the region in treating neck and back pain. We have the latest treatments for disc problems, nerve pain, and other spine conditions and injuries. We treat all areas of the spine:

  • Cervical (neck)
  • Thoracic (upper back)
  • Lumbar (low back)
  • Sacral (just above the tailbone) and sacroiliac (joint between spine and pelvis) pain.

We offer nonsurgical and surgical care for both adults and children, including therapies and minimally invasive procedures that help you move better. Back pain can interfere with every area of your life. We’re here to help you get your life back.

Why Choose ONS for Spinal Care?

We’re known in the region as the premier practice for spine care. We get to know people personally, so that we can tailor your treatment to your goals. We offer:

  • Fellowship-trained surgeons: Our spine surgeons have the highest level of training in both surgical and nonsurgical treatment. Though many people who seek care won’t need surgery, they still benefit from our spine expertise.
  • Nonsurgical spine care expertise: A physiatrist or physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist works with you to maximize physical function and eliminate pain. We offer a range of nonsurgical options (including corticosteroid injections) to help improve your neck and back pain.
  • Latest advancements in treatment: We offer cutting-edge therapies and newer, less invasive surgical techniques that help you heal faster. Our surgeons also perform robotic assisted surgery when appropriate.
  • Convenience every step of the way: We have multiple locations that offer physical therapy close by. We do everything we can to help you navigate the treatment and recovery process.

Spine Conditions We Treat

We treat both children and adults with spinal conditions such as:

  • Ankylosing spondylitis, a type of arthritis that causes inflammation in the spine.
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Herniated or bulging disc.
  • Osteoporosis
  • Sciatica, or pain down the back of the leg.
  • Spinal stenosis, a narrowing of your spinal column.
  • Thoracic outlet syndrome, a nerve compression that causes pain in neck, arm, and shoulder.
  • Spondylolisthesis, when one of your vertebrae slips out of place.
  • Spondylolysis, a stress fracture of the spine.
  • Neuropathy, or nerve pain.
  • Spinal cord injuries.
  • Spinal curvature problems, such as scoliosis and kyphosis.

Treatments for Back and Neck Pain

When we can, we start with conservative treatments, such as:

  • Medications (oral or topical) to reduce pain, inflammation, or swelling.
  • Injections that relieve pain, such as epidural steroid injections.
  • Physical therapy and rehabilitation. Working with our physical therapists can help reduce pain and improve mobility. For many people, PT alone can help them get back to activities they enjoy.

Spinal Surgeries We Perform

Some injuries and conditions need more intervention, including surgery. Common procedures include:

  • Correcting spinal curvatures: Surgery is often the best option for conditions like scoliosis and kyphosis if the curve is large enough.
  • Disc replacement: Replacing a damaged disc with an artificial one helps relieve pain while preserving normal motion.
  • Discectomy: Removing all or of part of a disc that’s bulging.
  • Dynamic stabilization: An alternative to spinal fusion that helps stabilize the spine while still allowing more natural movement.
  • Minimally invasive spine surgery: This type of surgery uses smaller incisions than traditional (“open”) surgery. We use this approach whenever we can because people heal faster.
  • Spinal decompression surgery: A surgery that reduces the pressure on the spinal cord from discs or nerves pushing against it.
  • Spinal fusion: Connecting two or more bones in your spine, so that they act as a single bone.
