Spine Surgery at St. Joseph’s
Our team embraces an important philosophy: When it comes to spine conditions and back pain, surgery may not always be the best option. In fact, our goal is to help you avoid surgery whenever possible.
We recommend a wide range of non-surgical treatment options – from medications and injections to physical therapy. When these methods fail to help and we can pinpoint the source of your problem, then we turn to surgery. We use the latest techniques and offer the most advanced procedures used today.
