MEET YOUR BACK & NECK TEAM

Spine Surgeons

While most back and neck issues can be managed with physical therapy and other non-operative treatment, our highly skilled spine surgeons see patients across all of our clinic locations, especially injuries or conditions that require surgical expertise. OrthoSouth spine surgeons have all undergone advanced fellowship training in spine surgery. Their broad experiences include, but are not limited to spinal deformity, spinal trauma, degenerative spinal conditions, complex spinal reconstruction, and minimally invasive spinal procedures.

Chiropractic Services

Available at the Crosstown Clinic in Midtown Memphis, our chiropractor works together with medical staff in an interdisciplinary setting to manage patients’ painful conditions.   

Dr. Jennifer James offers the evidence-based Cox® Technic system of non-surgical chiropractic protocols for the relief of spine pain due to disc herniation, stenosis and related conditions causing neck, upper back, shoulder, arm, low back and leg pain. The Cox® Technic flexion-distraction protocols have been scrutinized in federally funded research projects. Flexion-distraction biomechanical effects have been documented – drop in intradiscal pressures, increase in spinal canal area and discal height – and clinical outcomes have been published – superior in pain relief for radiculopathy, better for relief of chronic low back pain, and more effective in reducing the need for healthcare visits for spinal pain in the year after treatment.
