SpineAbilene: At last, A Nonsurgical Approach To Back & Neck Pain

Four out of five Americans will have an attack of back pain during their lifetimes. Many people are doomed to a lifetime of endless visits to the back doctor. That's because once you have your first back pain attack, you are four times as likely to have a recurrence. If you have back or neck pain, we are now in a position to help you kick the habit.

SpineAbilene acts as a regional referral center for back and neck problems. SpineAbilene receives cases for back and neck pain from across the West Texas region. building

What makes this spine center unique is its emphasis on a nonsurgical approach to back and neck problems. The spine center, for example, is directed by specialists in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, also called physiatrists. These physicians have advanced training in back and neck pain, and often are successful in helping people return to activity — without surgery.

At the same time, if your back or neck problem requires surgery, SpineAbilene has a consulting spine surgeon who already receive the area's surgical cases. These cases include herniated discs, spinal fractures, spinal deformity, spinal tumor and scoliosis. This fellowship-trained spine surgeon uses advanced instrumentation and spine surgery techniques.

Said another way, SpineAbilene is able to take care of any type of back or neck problem, from the simple back or neck strain all the way to complex spine surgery, involving surgical instrumentation.
