Nonsurgical spine treatments
Back and neck pain can often be resolved with advanced therapies and treatments that do not require surgery. That's why we always aim to prioritize conservative treatment options such as physical therapy and pain management therapies as much as possible. Many of these types of treatment options are provided at The Interventional Pain Management Clinic at St. Mark's Hospital. We offer a wide range of nonsurgical spine treatment options, including:
- Epidural steroid injections
- Lumbar sympathetic block

- Lumbar sympathetic block

Spine surgery
In some cases, surgery may be recommended for treatment. Our spine surgeons perform minimally invasive surgery whenever possible to correct spine issues through small incisions using advanced technology, lowering the risk of complications and promoting faster healing. This includes using the latest robotic-assisted techniques to more precisely navigate the intricacies of the spine when performing procedures such as spinal fusion surgery.
St. Mark's Hospital was the second hospital in the world, and the first community hospital worldwide, to use a special surgical robot for spinal fusions. This sophisticated robotic surgery technology optimizes patient care by combining the benefits of intraoperative navigation and robotic guidance into one technology.
Our spine surgeons have extensive training and years of experience in performing a wide range of spinal surgeries, including:
- Anterior cervical discectomy
- Arthroplasty (cervical and lumbar artificial disc placement)
- Instrumentation revision (cervical and lumbar)
- Interbody fusion (anterior lumbar and posterior lumbar)
- Laminectomy
- Lumbar microsurgical decompression
- Lumbar microsurgical discectomy
- Spinal cord stimulators
- Spinal fusion (cervical, thoracic and lumbar)
