Workers’ Compensation & Personal Injury Care
Expert Spine, Neck & Back Injury Treatment in Southern Georgia
Exceptional Care. Personal Touch. Lasting Recovery.
Workplace injuries and personal accidents can change lives in an instant. At Southern Spine Center, our experienced orthopedic team specializes in diagnosing and treating spine, neck, and back injuries, helping injured workers and accident victims recover safely, return function and mobility, and get back to the activities they love.
Suffering from a Work-Related Injury?
You’re not alone. Every year, millions of Americans are injured on the job due to improper lifting, falls, repetitive stress, poor ergonomics, or other workplace incidents.
In fact, back injuries are the most common work-related injury in the U.S.—responsible for more than double the number of workers’ compensation claims compared to any other type of injury. Studies show that up to 85% of people will experience disabling back pain at some point in their lives.
Work injuries can involve:
-
Herniated or bulging discs
-
Cervical and lumbar sprains or strains
-
Nerve impingement (sciatica, radiculopathy)
-
Facet or sacroiliac joint injuries
-
Fractures, instability, or spinal stenosis
Our orthopedic specialists are uniquely equipped to handle these injuries with advanced imaging, image-guided interventions, and both non-surgical and surgical treatment options when indicated.
If You’re Injured at Work
In Georgia, workers injured on the job may be eligible for medical treatment through workers’ compensation insurance. Our team is experienced in navigating this system, ensuring that both patients and employers receive timely, coordinated care and clear communication at every step.
We work closely with:
-
Patients and families
-
Employers
-
Nurse case managers
-
Insurance providers & claims adjusters
-
Attorneys, when applicable
From evaluation to rehabilitation, our focus is consistently on accurate diagnosis, personalized treatment, and a safe and efficient return to work.
Comprehensive Non-Surgical & Image-Guided Interventions
Many spine and joint injuries respond well to non-operative care, enabling patients to recover more quickly and avoid unnecessary procedures.
When appropriate, our specialists may recommend targeted interventions such as:
-
Epidural steroid injections
-
Facet or SI joint injections
-
Medial branch blocks & radiofrequency ablation
These precision-guided procedures can reduce pain, improve mobility, and accelerate rehabilitation.
