Back and Neck Pain Orthopedic Clinic

Back and neck pain are among the most common medical complaints, affecting people of all ages and activity levels. Whether caused by poor posture, repetitive strain, injury, or age-related degeneration, spine pain can quietly disrupt everyday life—making it difficult to work, sleep, exercise, or enjoy time with family.

When back or neck pain persists, it often takes a toll on more than just physical comfort. Chronic spine pain can lead to missed work, reduced productivity, sleep disturbances, and emotional stress, significantly impacting overall quality of life. For many patients, temporary fixes are not enough—they need expert evaluation and lasting solutions.

This is where specialized orthopedic care makes a difference. Unlike general treatment approaches that may focus only on symptom relief, an orthopedic clinic dedicated to back and neck pain addresses the musculoskeletal and neurological causes of spine conditions. Focused spine care emphasizes accurate diagnosis, targeted treatment, and long-term functional improvement.

At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, our mission is clear: optimally restoring your quality of life using the least invasive, least drug-dependent care medically available. Through advanced diagnostics and personalized treatment plans, Medici helps patients find relief while avoiding unnecessary surgery or long-term medication use whenever possible.

Common Back and Neck Conditions Treated at an Orthopedic Clinic

An orthopedic clinic specializing in spine care treats a wide range of back and neck conditions, many of which do not require surgery when addressed early and appropriately. Common conditions include:

  • Herniated or bulging discs, which may compress nearby nerves
  • Degenerative disc disease, a natural aging process that can cause pain and stiffness
  • Arthritis and osteoarthritis of the spine, affecting joints and movement
  • Sciatica and nerve compression, often causing radiating leg or arm pain
  • Spinal stenosis, a narrowing of the spinal canal that may affect mobility
  • Facet joint syndrome, a frequent source of localized back or neck pain
  • Sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction, often mistaken for low back pain
  • Muscle spasms and myofascial pain, which can develop from overuse or compensation
  • Post-surgical or failed back surgery pain, where continued discomfort persists after an operation

At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, these conditions are approached with careful evaluation and evidence-based care. By understanding the specific cause of pain, our team can develop a targeted treatment plan designed to relieve symptoms, restore function, and help patients return to living fully.

Why Choose an Orthopedic Clinic for Back and Neck Pain

Specialized Musculoskeletal Expertise

Orthopedic and spine specialists are trained to diagnose and treat conditions affecting bones, joints, discs, nerves, and soft tissues. This expertise allows for a deeper understanding of pain patterns and more precise treatment recommendations.

Advanced Diagnostic Capabilities

An orthopedic clinic offers access to advanced diagnostic tools and techniques that go beyond basic exams. These capabilities help identify subtle issues that may be missed in general care settings.

Restoring Function—Not Just Masking Pain

At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, the goal is not temporary symptom relief. Treatment focuses on restoring mobility, strength, and function so patients can return to daily activities with confidence and comfort.

Coordinated, Multidisciplinary Care

Back and neck pain often require more than one type of treatment. Medici brings together pain specialists, physical therapists, and interventional experts to ensure care is coordinated and comprehensive.

Avoiding Unnecessary Surgery or Long-Term Medication Use

By exploring conservative and minimally invasive options first, many patients can avoid surgery or prolonged reliance on medications—especially opioids—while still achieving meaningful relief.

Comprehensive Diagnostic Evaluation at Medici Orthopaedics & Spine

Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective spine care. At Medici, every patient undergoes a thorough evaluation designed to uncover the true cause of back or neck pain.

Detailed Medical History and Physical Examination

The evaluation begins with a complete review of symptoms, medical history, prior injuries, and previous treatments. A hands-on physical exam helps assess posture, movement, strength, and pain triggers.

Functional Movement and Neurological Assessment

Specialized testing evaluates how the spine moves and how nerves function. This helps identify nerve compression, instability, or movement dysfunction that may be contributing to pain.

Review of Advanced Imaging

When available, imaging studies such as MRI, CT scans, and X-rays are carefully reviewed to correlate structural findings with symptoms. Imaging is used as a tool—not a sole decision-maker.

Diagnostic Injections When Appropriate

In certain cases, diagnostic injections help confirm whether a specific nerve or joint is responsible for pain. This precision allows treatment to be targeted and effective.

Identifying the True Pain Generator

Back and neck pain are not always caused by what imaging alone shows. Medici focuses on identifying the true pain generator to avoid unnecessary procedures and improve outcomes.

Personalized Treatment Planning

Every treatment plan is customized based on diagnosis, lifestyle, goals, and overall health—ensuring care is individualized, strategic, and patient-centered.

Non-Surgical Treatments for Back and Neck Pain

Most back and neck conditions can be successfully managed without surgery. Medici Orthopaedics & Spine offers a wide range of non-surgical treatments designed to relieve pain, restore function, and promote long-term spine health.

Interventional Spine Treatments

Interventional procedures provide targeted pain relief by treating the source of pain directly.

  • Epidural steroid injections to reduce inflammation around spinal nerves
  • Nerve blocks to interrupt pain signals
  • Facet joint injections for joint-related spine pain
  • Medial branch blocks and radiofrequency ablation, which can provide longer-lasting relief for chronic facet pain

All procedures are performed with image-guided precision, improving safety and effectiveness while minimizing risk.

Medication Management

Medication may be used strategically as part of a broader treatment plan.

  • Anti-inflammatory medications to reduce swelling and discomfort
  • Nerve-stabilizing medications for nerve-related pain
  • Muscle relaxants when muscle spasms contribute to symptoms

Medici emphasizes minimizing opioid use, relying on short-term, medically supervised strategies to support healing without dependency.

Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation

Physical therapy is essential for long-term recovery and prevention.

  • Spine-focused physical therapy programs tailored to each condition
  • Core strengthening and posture correction to support spinal stability
  • Flexibility and stability training to improve movement mechanics
  • Prevention of recurrence and long-term disability through guided rehabilitation

Through coordinated care, Medici helps patients not only feel better—but move better and live better.

Advanced and Regenerative Treatment Options

When conventional treatments are not enough, advanced and regenerative therapies may offer additional relief by supporting the body’s natural healing processes. At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, these options are used thoughtfully and only when clinically appropriate.

Regenerative Medicine Approaches

Regenerative medicine focuses on enhancing the body’s ability to repair damaged tissue rather than simply suppressing pain. These therapies may be used to support joints, ligaments, and soft tissue involved in chronic back and neck pain.

Prolotherapy and Biologic Therapies

Prolotherapy and other biologic treatments are designed to stimulate a localized healing response, potentially improving tissue strength and stability. For select patients, these approaches may help reduce pain and improve function over time.

Supporting Healing—Not Masking Pain

Unlike treatments that only block pain signals, regenerative therapies aim to address underlying tissue health. This aligns with Medici’s philosophy of creating durable improvement rather than temporary symptom relief.

Spinal Cord Stimulation for Select Chronic Pain Cases

For patients with chronic back or neck pain that has not responded to conservative care, spinal cord stimulation may be considered. This advanced therapy modifies pain signals before they reach the brain and can significantly improve quality of life for carefully selected individuals.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy increases oxygen delivery to injured tissues, which may help reduce inflammation and support cellular repair—especially in patients with chronic or slow-healing conditions.

Myofascial Release and Sports Massage Therapy

Hands-on therapies such as myofascial release and sports massage help relieve muscle tension, improve circulation, and reduce compensatory pain patterns that often accompany spine conditions.

Comprehensive Back and Neck Pain Care You Can Trust

Living with back or neck pain can be exhausting, frustrating, and limiting—but effective relief is possible. With the right diagnosis and a thoughtful treatment plan, many patients are able to reduce pain, restore movement, and return to the activities that matter most to them.

At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, care is always individualized and minimally invasive. Our team focuses on identifying the true source of pain and treating it with the least disruptive, least drug-dependent options available. Whether your pain is new, chronic, or returning after previous treatment, you deserve expert orthopedic care that prioritizes long-term function and quality of life.

If you’re experiencing persistent back or neck pain, seeking evaluation early can make a meaningful difference. Early, specialized orthopedic care can help prevent progression, reduce the need for surgery, and support a faster, more confident recovery.
