The spine and pain management specialists at Southern Orthopedic Specialists utilize multiple treatment options to provide patients with the maximum amount of pain relief to restore patients to their maximum level of function. Drs. Finney and Todd prioritize an individualized care plan for each patient, based on specific diagnosis and treatment preferences, which often include physical therapy, medications, and injections as a starting point. Surgery is not always required to address pain, but when it is, it can often be accomplished in a minimally invasive fashion. With many patients seeking treatment for spinal pain in particular, early detection of symptoms is the first step to effective long-term relief results.
“Signs of spinal pain include pain in the neck with or without radiation into the arm, as well as pain in the back with or without radiation into the leg,” says Dr. Finney. “Sometimes isolated arm pain or leg pain can originate from the spine.”
By tailoring each treatment program to align with clinical goals, patients are often surprised by what options are available, creating a path to not only reducing pain but also getting patients back to the life and activities they love.
