Treatments offered at our spine centers
Our team of spine specialists, including orthopedists, spine surgeons and spine neurosurgeons, collaborate to deliver a seamless experience from diagnosis through recovery.
Nonsurgical spine care
At Parkridge Health System, our goal is to prioritize nonsurgical treatment whenever possible. Often, you may find relief with rest and over-the-counter medication. When those common measures don't help, we explore other conservative treatment options, such as prescription pain medication, physical therapy or spine injections. Our multidisciplinary spine experts can blend their expertise, and as a result, can often improve back or neck pain without spine surgery. We offer a variety of nonsurgical spine treatments, including:
- Epidural steroid injections
- Spinal injections
- Pain management
- Physical therapy and rehabilitation
Spine imaging
Imaging is an important part of a comprehensive spine evaluation. Parkridge Health System uses the latest imaging techniques to get a proper diagnosis and rule out other conditions. Among the many diagnostic imaging services we provide, we offer bone scans, computerized tomography (CT) scans, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and X-rays.
Spine surgery
We take pride in carefully evaluating you to determine if surgery is your best option for treatment. If surgery is recommended as the best path for healing, our Chattanooga spine surgeons use minimally invasive techniques whenever possible. This includes robot-assisted surgery, which offers enhanced precision and can lead to less scarring and faster recovery.
Our spine treatment plans include spine patient education to help you understand your condition, as well as spine nurse navigators to help guide you through your journey. Our specialists have extensive training and years of experience in performing complex spinal surgeries, including:
- Laminectomy
- Microdiscectomy
- Spinal fusion
- Tumor removal
- Vertebral fracture repairs
