Diagnosis and treatment
How we diagnose spinal conditions
A clear diagnosis helps your specialist recommend the right treatment
Back, spine, and neck pain can involve muscles, ligaments, discs, vertebrae, nerves, or other structures, so your evaluation may include a review of your medical history, a physical exam, and diagnostic testing when needed.
Diagnostic testing may include digital X-rays, MRI scans, CT scans, or electromyography, also called EMG.
Treatment options
Care may begin with nonsurgical options before surgery is considered
Before recommending surgery, Southern Oregon Orthopedics explores nonsurgical treatment options when appropriate. Your care plan may include physical therapy or spinal rehab programs, acupuncture, chiropractic treatment, oral or injected medications, interventional pain management, or orthotic devices such as a back brace.
When symptoms do not improve with nonsurgical care, surgery may be considered. Surgical options may include minimally invasive spine surgery, spinal fusion, spinal decompression, motion preservation surgery, or bone grafts and biologics.
