Spine Care
Augusta Back specializes in diagnosing and treating spine-related conditions, including back pain, neck pain, and disc problems. Our team uses advanced imaging and personalized treatment plans to address both acute and chronic issues. Patients benefit from coordinated care that prioritizes non-surgical interventions while offering expert surgical options when necessary.
Physical Therapy
Our spine-specialized physical therapists provide hands-on treatments and customized exercise programs to relieve pain and improve mobility. Therapy sessions focus on strengthening back muscles, enhancing flexibility, and preventing future injuries. This approach helps patients recover without relying heavily on medications or invasive procedures.
Injection Therapy
Targeted injections deliver medication directly to inflamed areas, providing temporary pain relief to facilitate physical therapy. Our pain specialists use precise techniques to treat conditions like herniated discs and spinal stenosis. These injections serve as a bridge to long-term recovery through combined treatment strategies.
Surgical Options
For severe cases, our neurosurgeons perform minimally invasive procedures to address structural issues causing pain. Techniques include discectomy, laminectomy, and spinal fusion with reduced recovery times. Surgery is recommended only after thorough evaluation and when non-surgical methods prove ineffective.
Diagnostics
On-site MRI, X-ray, and diagnostic injections enable rapid, accurate assessment of spine conditions. Immediate access to imaging results allows for timely treatment decisions. These tools help identify issues like disc degeneration, nerve compression, and spinal deformities requiring intervention.
