Spine Care
Back and neck pain can be debilitating. When non-invasive treatments no longer work, the spine team at Northwest Medical Center may be able to help. A dedicated surgery team can treat your back pain with either traditional and minimally invasive surgical options.
The spine team at Northwest Medical Center can treat and correct:
- Back and neck pain
- Herniated discs
- Degenerative disc disease
- Vertebral compression fractures
- Vertebral instability
- Lumbar stenosis
Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS)
The surgeons at Northwest Medical Center use minimally invasive, endoscopic surgical techniques. Because minimally invasive surgery uses smaller instruments, potential benefits can include smaller incisions, less pain, decreased risk of infection, less blood loss and a faster recovery time.
Other surgical treatment options include:
- Motion preservation spinal surgery
- Non-surgical spine treatment
The outpatient physical therapy teams at Northwest Healthcare provide a thorough spinal evaluation and an individualized program which applies evidenced-based clinical practice standards. Therapists provide one hour of one-on-one care with the goal of providing healthier movement and maximizing function. Patients are educated and empowered with the tools they need to facilitate their recovery.
