Introduction


The spine program at the Northern California Spine Institute is designed to offer a variety of treatment options to patients suffering from back or neck pain. We recognize that spine problems may be a multi-faceted challenge and have designed our practice to help patients meet these different challenges by offering the resources and support they need to improve their condition.

Although spinal surgery has shown to be an effective tool for a lot of spinal problems, it is important for patients to remember that surgery is only one treatment option of the many offered at the Institute.

The treatment options offered by the physicians at the Northern California Spine Institute include, but are not limited to:

  • Physical Therapy
  • Acupuncture

  • Interventional Pain Management Techniques, such as Epidural
  • Steroid Injections
  • Medications
  • Exercise and Conditioning Programs
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Microdiscectomy
  • Spinal Fusion
  • Vertebroplasty / Kyphoplasty
  • Reconstructive Spinal Surgery
