The procedures may be combined with physical therapy, stem cell therapy, or regenerative medicine, depending on your needs.

Am I a candidate for an interventional spine procedure?

To determine if an interventional spine procedure is right for you, the team begins with a thorough consultation and physical exam. They also review any treatments you’ve received in the past and prior imaging like X-rays or an MRI that you’ve had taken. Additional imaging or electrodiagnostic tests may be recommended to determine your diagnosis.

After explaining your diagnosis, the team outlines treatment options based on your symptoms and the severity of your diagnosis. In many cases, a variety of treatment approaches may be recommended to fully address your specific diagnosis and help you recover.
