Whether you need advanced diagnostics, nonsurgical therapies, or surgical expertise, our team is here to guide you through every step of your care.
Cervical Spine (Neck)
Movement starts here.
The cervical spine is where movement begins. This highly flexible section allows you to turn, tilt, and nod your head while protecting the delicate spinal cord beneath. Because its bones and soft tissues are smaller and more mobile than the rest of the spine, the neck is especially prone to injuries, degenerative changes, and conditions that can affect both comfort and function.
Thoracic Spine (Upper & Mid Back)
Built for stability.
The thoracic spine is your body’s anchor of stability. It connects to the rib cage, shields vital organs, and provides the framework that keeps you upright. Built for protection more than movement, this section of the spine is less flexible than the neck or lower back. While pain here is often related to muscular strain or injury, degeneration in the thoracic spine can also develop over time.
Lumbar Spine (Lower Back & Spine)
Your center of strength.
The lumbar spine is the body’s powerhouse. It carries the majority of your weight and enables the twisting, bending, and lifting needed for everyday life. Because of its heavy workload and wide range of motion, the lower back is one of the most common sources of pain and injury. Strain, disc problems, and degenerative conditions often affect this region, making specialized care essential.
