The Intersection of Neurosurgery, Orthopedics, & Rehabilitation for Comprehensive Spine Care
ARE YOU READY FOR ANSWERS?
Welcome to the
OrthoSouth Spine Institute
Managing back pain and neck pain requires a coordinated, patient-centered approach, and that's exactly what we offer at the OrthoSouth Spine Institute. Our highly skilled team of neurosurgical and orthopedic spine surgeons, non-operative spine doctors, advanced practice providers, and physical therapists collaborate closely to deliver effective treatment for your back or neck condition. Unlike traditional spine centers located in a single clinic, our Spine Institute spans multiple OrthoSouth locations, making expert care for your back pain and neck pain accessible and convenient no matter where you are in Memphis or the Mid-South.
What to Expect
When You Visit OrthoSouth for Your Back Pain
At OrthoSouth, our spine team understands the unique challenges faced by patients dealing with back pain and neck pain. We are implementing specialized care pathways designed specifically to address back pain and related conditions. Our mission is to simplify your patient journey and provide you with confidence that you are on the best treatment path tailored to your individual needs, using our full range of expertise and advanced knowledge for your benefit.
Patients new to OrthoSouth should expect a 5-star patient experience - you deserve it! The OrthoSouth team is here to help you enjoy the smoothest and easiest care experience possible. Established patients should expect the same great care you've come to know with your OrthoSouth provider, as well as a few enhancements designed to take your visit to the next level.
All patients should expect personalized, empathetic care in a warm and friendly environment, a short wait before seeing your provider, and the most conservative treatments appropriate for your situation. Many patients will receive imaging at the initial visit, and often a referral for physical therapy after the consult.
What if I Need Surgery?
Most patients with back/neck pain or spine conditions don't need surgery. The small group who do need surgery usually do not require surgery immediately, so an initial attempt at non-operative care is often recommended. When a spine problem does require surgery, our highly skilled and experienced surgical teams are ready to step in. At any point during your care, if you are identified as needing urgent surgery, you will be referred directly to one of our spine surgery specialists in the Memphis area.
