The Intersection of Neurosurgery, Orthopedics, & Rehabilitation for Comprehensive Spine Care
WELCOME TO THE ORTHOSOUTH SPINE INSTITUTE
The OrthoSouth Spine Institute is an integrated approach to managing the broad range of injuries and conditions that can occur in and around the spine. We have assembled a well-trained and highly experienced team of skilled neurosurgical and orthopedic spine surgeons, non-operative spine doctors, advanced practice providers, and physical therapists who will coordinate your care to give you the treatment you need when you need it. Unlike other institutes, the Spine Institute is a concept spanning multiple locations. You do not have to visit a single clinic to access our comprehensive spine services – the spine team is available at nearly every OrthoSouth location.
The OrthoSouth spine team recognizes the unique needs of patients experiencing back, neck, and pain conditions, and is implenting specialized care pathways to address these needs. Our goal is to simplify your patient journey and give you confidence that you are on the best treatment path for your unique situation, utilizing our complete toolset of skills and 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.
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 8 spine surgery specialists.
