Knoxville’s Best Choice for Spine Surgery in Eastern Tennessee

Our Specialty

Spine Surgery

The symptoms and causes of neck and back pain are wide-ranging. Whether from osteoarthritis or a herniated disc, back pain can stop you in your tracks. It’s likely you’ll need spine surgery to get back to normal. Our team of orthopedic spine surgeons can assess where your pain is coming from and why it is occurring.

NECK, BACK AND SPINE CONDITIONS AND TREATMENTS

Did you know that, on average, roughly 90% of all spine conditions do not require surgery? But, if yours does, our spine surgery team has your back.

DO YOU STRUGGLE WITH ANY OF THESE COMMON SPINE PROBLEMS?

  • Pain in the neck and shoulder, radiating down the arm
  • Pain in the neck, and pins and needles in hands
  • Back or neck pain that makes you cancel or leave events early
  • Back pain or bone spurs in the neck that make it hard to sleep
  • Sudden back pain where you can’t move
  • A tender spot on the spine when it’s pressed
  • A protruding bone at the base of the neck or skull
  • Radiating upper back pain
  • Legs giving way with back pain
  • Back pain that radiates down both legs
  • A herniated, bulging, or slipped disc
  • A torn disc

If so, we strongly encourage you to visit a spine specialist.

ARE THESE AUTOMATIC SIGNS YOU NEED BACK SURGERY?

Not necessarily. Many spine troubles can be treated without surgery. Physical therapy, medications, and environmental adjustments can be used to successfully treat many back problems.

AT WHAT POINT DO YOU NEED SPINE SURGERY?

This depends on your specific problem, and how bad it is. If you have tried alternative treatments and your spine issues haven’t improved, you may be a candidate for surgery.

You’ll need one thing no matter what your treatment plan is—a comprehensive assessment by a spine specialist. With a thorough assessment and history, one of our specialists can help determine what your spine may need. Know what your options are, and take part in putting together a plan that works for your lifestyle.

Spine and back problems are too big to ignore. They reduce your mobility, comfort level, and quality of life. You should not have to adjust your work and play schedule due to treatable spine issues. Our spine surgeons want to help you get back to your normal daily activities as soon as possible.
