Eight out of 10 Americans will experience a lifestyle-altering episode of back pain at some point in their lives. Ninety percent of single episodes of back pain become recurrent. Research shows that the most common causes of back pain or injury are poor physical condition, poor posture, improper body mechanics and the repetitive use of incorrect bending or lifting techniques. At Orthopedic Services, preventing and providing relief for back pain and spinal disorders is one of our specialties.
We establish an accurate diagnosis quickly and develop a plan of care to fit your needs. Our team exhausts every appropriate treatment option before considering surgery. However, when a problem is not corrected with prescribed rest, exercise, conditioning programs or physical therapy, we use further testing to identify the key factors causing the patient's discomfort.
When a surgical procedure becomes the right choice, our team of specialists is trained to effectively correct problems related to:
- Low back pain
- Traumatic and overuse injuries to the spine
- Spinal deformities both acquired and congenital
- Whiplash injuries
