Effective care doesn’t always involve surgery. Nonsurgical options, such as medications, injections and physical therapy, are often preferred as a first-line treatment, as they come with less risk and recovery time. There are also many nonoperative options available for pain management.

Nonoperative care services are designed to address pain, mobility challenges and musculoskeletal conditions using personalized, minimally invasive approaches. Whether you’re managing back pain, joint discomfort or chronic issues, our team of experts is here to help you feel and move better.

Nonoperative services we offer

Reduces pain and improves circulation through targeted therapy

Provides relief for joint pain caused by arthritis or injury, and can include cortisone shots, steroid injections and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections, which uses the body’s healing process to reduce inflammation and promote recovery.

Minimally invasive treatment that can reduce or eliminate pain caused by spinal compression fractures and is especially helpful for those who cannot tolerate open spine surgery

If appropriate, our experienced physicians monitor and manage the safe and effective use of medications to help control pain and enhance function as part of your overall care plan.

Both treatments interrupt pain signals but nerve blocks help to confirm the source of pain and can be used for short-term relief while RFA provides for longer-lasting pain relief

Includes spinal cord stimulators to regulate nerve activity

Physical therapy

Physical therapy is a cornerstone of our nonoperative care program. Our physiatrists and physical therapists work together to:

  • Provide education on proper body mechanics to prevent further injury.
  • Develop individualized exercise programs to strengthen core muscles and reduce pressure on the spine.
  • Stretch and strengthen muscles to support the healing process naturally.

Physical therapy empowers you to take an active role in your recovery, helping you maintain mobility and prevent future pain.
