Not necessarily. Many causes of back and neck pain can be treated without surgery. Our spine specialists evaluate your symptoms, imaging, and medical history to determine the best treatment approach. In many cases, patients find relief through non-surgical treatments such as physical therapy, pain management, or minimally invasive procedures.
Yes. Our spine program offers the full range of treatments for back and neck pain, from conservative care to advanced surgical procedures. Your care begins with a thorough evaluation to identify the cause of your pain.
Based on your diagnosis, our team may recommend treatments such as physical therapy, injections, or other non-surgical options. If surgery is necessary, our spine surgeons specialize in the most advanced techniques—from minimally invasive procedures to complex revision spine surgeries—so you can recover safely and return to normal activity as quickly as possible.
Whenever possible, we start with the least invasive treatment option.
Recovery time varies depending on the cause of your back or neck pain and the treatment recommended. Many patients treated with non-surgical spine care can return to work quickly, sometimes within days or weeks. If surgery is required, your spine specialist will outline a recovery plan and timeline based on your specific condition and job responsibilities.
Referral requirements vary by insurance plan. Some plans allow you to schedule directly, while others require a referral from your primary care provider. Our team can help you determine what your plan requires.
Your first visit is designed to quickly identify the cause of your back or neck pain and determine the best treatment path.
Through FOI’s program, patients are evaluated by a specially trained spine specialist experienced in both pain management and surgical care. This approach helps ensure you are guided to the right treatment from the start. Your specialist will review your symptoms, medical history, and prior imaging, and may recommend diagnostic testing to better understand the source of your pain.
Our spine program evaluates and treats many causes of back and neck pain, from common conditions to more complex spine disorders. This includes issues such as herniated discs, sciatica, pinched nerves, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, sacroiliac joint pain, scoliosis, failed prior surgeries, and chronic neck or lower back pain.
Because our program includes both interventional pain specialists and orthopedic spine surgeons, patients have access to a full range of treatment options. Many conditions can be managed with non-surgical care, such as physical therapy, injections, nerve blocks, or other minimally invasive pain management techniques.
When surgery is the best option, our spine surgeons specialize in advanced and minimally invasive spine procedures to relieve pain, restore function, and help patients return to normal activities as safely and quickly as possible.
Our goal is to identify the true source of your pain and guide you to the right treatment path, whether that means conservative care, interventional pain management, or surgical treatment.
Many patients come to FOI for a second opinion when pain continues because initially explored treatments haven’t provided relief. Our spine specialists can review your diagnosis, imaging, and treatment history to help determine the best next step.
