Advanced Back Care at Southern Spine Center

At Southern Spine Center, back care is elevated with world‑class spine expertise, state‑of‑the‑art diagnostics, and personalized treatment plans that relieve pain, protect nerves, and restore confident movement. Your experience is designed to be seamless, modern, and effective—so you can get back to living.

Expertise in Every Detail of Care

The lumbar and thoracic spine power your daily life—supporting posture, load, and motion while protecting the spinal cord and nerves. Whether your symptoms stem from a disc injury, scoliosis, arthritis, or overuse, our fellowship‑trained specialists deliver next‑generation solutions tailored to you.

Conditions We Treat with Precision

From daily stiffness to radiating leg pain, back issues can affect everything you do. Our diagnostic approach goes beyond symptom relief—we identify the root cause for lasting results.

Arthritis
Spinal arthritis involves wear of the facet joints and discs, leading to stiffness, grinding, and pain with motion or standing. We use targeted anti‑inflammatory care, image‑guided injections, mobility therapy, and—when needed—surgical solutions to restore comfort and function.
Herniated Disc
A lumbar disc herniation can press on nearby nerves, causing back pain that may radiate into the hip or leg (sciatica), with numbness or weakness. We confirm the diagnosis with advanced imaging and provide stepwise care—from activity modification and physical therapy to epidural injections and minimally invasive decompression, when appropriate.
Scoliosis
Scoliosis is a curvature of the spine that may progress in adolescence or adulthood. Treatment ranges from observation and bracing to targeted therapy and, in select cases, surgical correction. Our team tailors care to curve type, severity, and your goals.
Spinal Stenosis
Spinal stenosis is narrowing around the nerves that can cause back and leg pain, numbness, or walking intolerance. Treatment is individualized—from conservative care and image‑guided injections to minimally invasive or open decompression procedures when symptoms progress.

Cutting‑Edge Treatments

Spinal Fusion
Lumbar fusion stabilizes painful or unstable segments by joining two or more vertebrae. It may be recommended for severe arthritis, deformity, instability, or as part of decompression for nerve compression. We emphasize modern techniques that prioritize alignment, nerve protection, and durable outcomes.
Spine Surgery
When surgery is the best path forward, our board‑certified surgeons offer a full spectrum of procedures, including motion‑preserving disc replacement (in select cases), minimally invasive decompression, and fusion when appropriate. We focus on precision, safety, and expedited recovery.
Back Pain
Back pain can arise from muscle strain, joint degeneration, pinched nerves, or prior injury. After a focused exam and imaging as needed, we craft a plan that may include targeted exercises, manual therapy, ergonomics, medications, injections, or advanced procedures when conservative care isn’t enough.
Sports Injury
Athletes place heavy demands on the spine. We diagnose and treat sports‑related back injuries—from muscle strains to stress reactions and disc problems—with sport‑specific rehab and safe return‑to‑play protocols.
