The proper treatment of patients with spinal disorders remains one of the most challenging areas of medicine today.  We believe that the best treatment approach is achieved through collaboration between many different types of providers and the patient. Depending upon the problem, this team may involve surgeons, manual physical therapists, physiatrists, nurse practitioners, radiologists, or other clinical specialists all working to empower the patient to achieve great things through the most up to date treatment options, education, and lifestyle changes.

Specific goals to restore function and reduce pain can often be achieved without surgery. In fact, here at Memphis Spine Center we strive to utilize all means of conservative treatment before considering surgery as a treatment option. Structured exercise, medications, mobilization and posture modification techniques, diagnostic and therapeutic injections, and surgery are all tools that carry risk and potential benefit. It is our responsibility to plot the safest course back to optimum health, utilizing these tools responsibly in order to achieve the greatest good with the least possible risk.

When surgery becomes the treatment of choice it should be done with the newest minimally invasive techniques whenever possible, and should always be followed up with a postoperative rehabilitation program in order to maximize function.

Orchestrating this complicated process in a supportive and respectful atmosphere is what we're all about at the Memphis Spine Center. We focus on the most effective non surgical approaches, and the newest minimally invasive technologies, designed to get you back to full function with the least amount of discomfort, in the shortest period of time.
