Non-Surgical Treatment Options for Spine Care

March 27, 2023
Freeman NeuroSpine offers a specialized non-surgical spine treatment service for patients.

Spinal pain can impact your day-to-day activities. Some patients who experience this pain might be apprehensive or delay seeking treatment for the fear that treatment might involve surgery and a lengthy recovery. The good news is many patients with back pain and spinal problems do not require surgery. In fact, Freeman NeuroSpine offers a specialized non-surgical spine treatment service for patients.

Many factors can cause back pain, including age, genetics, strains, occupational risks or skeletal irregularities. Common problems our team treats include bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, certain muscle and ligament injuries and sciatica.

Our comprehensive services provide patients with:

  • Non-narcotic pain management options
  • Prescription medications
  • Physical therapy
  • X-ray/CT/MRI imaging
  • Surgical assessment and referral for fast-tracking
  • Education
  • No referral necessary

There isn’t a one-size-fits all treatment for spinal pain. What might work for one patient might not work for another. That is why we offer a variety of non-surgical treatment options to our patients. There are several benefits to seeking non-surgical treatment including avoiding surgery and recovery time and being able to still go about your day-to-day activities while receiving treatment.

Exercise is an important tool to use for chronic back pain treatment. Physical therapists teach patients proper exercise techniques to help relieve back pain. Maintaining the exercise routine at home is also a key to successful treatment. Physical therapy treatment might include retraining your posture, stretching and flexibility exercises and core strengthening.

Other non-surgical methods of treatment include occupational therapy, heat and cold packs, over-the-counter pain medications, electrotherapy and massage therapy.
