state-of-the-art spine care
Disorders of the spine affect many people of all ages. These disorders can be acute or chronic problems that can become progressively debilitating, causing pain and interfering with everyday activities. The spine specialists at the Orthopaedic Institute diagnose and treat chronic back pain and acute spinal disorders.
At the Orthopaedic Institute our spine specialists have developed a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to treating patients with spine disorders and injuries. Each patient receives an individualized program of care with the benefit of:
- Specialized physical therapy designed to relieve back pain and speed recovery.
- A full continuum of care from advanced diagnostics to rehabilitation.
- A referral to the largest comprehensive pain management center in Hampton Roads.
- An expert surgical team well-versed in the latest advancements in minimally-invasive surgery.
- Partnerships with groups specializing in spine treatment who rely on the newest techniques and procedures to reduce pain, promote healing and speed recovery in the lower back and neck.
Fortunately, we now have more options for spinal care than at any time in human history. The spine specialists working at the Orthopaedic Institute are experienced in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic back pain and acute spinal disorders resulting from degeneration of the cervical and lumbar discs, spinal stenosis, spinal deformity, herniated discs, sciata, spinal tumors, and spinal instability.
A non-operative approach or physical therapy is always the first line of treatment. But, when the best approach is spine surgery, our expert spine surgeons are well versed in the latest in minimally invasive spine surgery, kyphoplasty, vertebroplasty, spinal fusion, cervical and lumbar artificial disc replacement techniques.
