Back Pain Treatment at Boston Orthopaedic & Spine

The spine is one of the most complex and important systems in the human body, and back pain will affect 80% of us at some point in our lives. Treatment requires specialists with the knowledge and expertise to develop an effective individualized treatment plan for each patient. Boston Orthopaedic & Spine’s fellowship-trained, board-certified experts are highly trained and dedicated to helping patients understand their pain and their treatment options.

Advanced Nonsurgical and Surgical Treatments for Back Pain

At Boston Orthopedic and Spine, we find that spine pain can often be effectively managed without surgery. When nonsurgical options are ineffective in relieving pain and restoring function, our awarded team of spine surgeons offers the latest advancements in state-of-the-art spine surgery and minimally invasive surgical techniques, including the following procedures:

  • Microdiscectomy
  • Laminectomy/decompression
  • Disc replacement
  • Cervical fusion
  • Anterior/posterior lumbar fusion

When To See a Doctor for Back Pain

Spine conditions may get worse without treatment. If you are experiencing radiating pain in the back, arms, or legs, pain after lifting heavy objects, tingling or weakness in the extremities, or dexterity problems, contact us to schedule an appointment.
