Non-Surgical Spine Treatment in Georgia

Back and neck pain are among the most common—and most disruptive—health challenges people face today. Whether it begins after an injury, a long day at work, or slowly over time, spine pain affects everything: sleep, mobility, mood, and your ability to enjoy the life you’ve worked so hard to build.

At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we approach spine care with compassion, modern medical technology, and a commitment to doing what’s best for you—not what’s most invasive. We understand how frustrating it can be to feel stuck in pain or to worry that surgery is your only option. That’s why our team focuses on early, effective, non-surgical interventions that help patients throughout Georgia find relief without unnecessary procedures or long recovery times.

Our mission is simple: optimally restore your quality of life using the most effective, least-invasive, least drug-dependent program medically available today. Every treatment plan starts with listening, continues with accurate diagnostics, and progresses with therapies designed to help you move better, feel better, and genuinely get back to living.

Spine Conditions Commonly Treated Without Surgery

At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, our team specializes in identifying the root cause of your discomfort and creating a non-surgical treatment plan tailored specifically to you. Here are some of the most common conditions we successfully treat without surgery:

Herniated Discs

When a disc pushes through the outer layer and irritates nearby nerves, it can cause pain, numbness, or weakness. Non-surgical therapies often calm inflammation and help restore stability.

Bulging Discs

A disc that protrudes outward may lead to stiffness, nerve compression, or back pain. Many patients recover fully with targeted exercise, injections, and manual therapy.

Sciatica (Lumbar Radiculopathy)

This condition stems from irritation of the sciatic nerve, causing pain that radiates down the leg. Non-surgical options frequently resolve symptoms without the need for invasive treatment.

Degenerative Disc Disease

Age-related disc wear can cause aching, reduced mobility, or chronic pain. Conservative care helps strengthen supporting structures and improve function.

Facet Joint Pain

Inflamed or irritated joints in the spine can trigger sharp or localized pain. Medici offers advanced non-surgical techniques to reduce inflammation and restore movement.

Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Dysfunction

Dysfunction in the SI joints can mimic other spine conditions. Accurate diagnosis is essential—and our targeted injections and therapies often provide excellent relief.

Spinal Stenosis (Mild to Moderate)

Narrowing of the spinal canal can cause pain, numbness, or difficulty walking. Many patients experience improved mobility with non-surgical treatments.

Muscle Spasms & Myofascial Pain

Chronic tension, knots, and muscle imbalance can create significant discomfort. Expert manual therapy and corrective rehabilitation make a dramatic difference.

Arthritis-Related Spinal Pain

Inflammation in spinal joints often responds better to conservative care than surgery, especially with Medici’s integrative approach.

Postural Strain & Biomechanical Issues

Poor posture or alignment places stress on the spine. We assess your movement patterns and design a plan to correct the underlying mechanics.

Chronic Back & Neck Pain

Whether your pain is new or long-standing, non-surgical treatment is often the safest and most effective starting point.

Advanced Diagnostic Testing: The Foundation of Effective Treatment

Effective non-surgical spine care begins with clarity. The better we understand the problem, the better we can treat it. That’s why every patient at Medici Orthopaedics & Spine undergoes a thoughtful, comprehensive diagnostic evaluation.

Comprehensive Physical Examination

We study movement patterns, nerve function, posture, strength, flexibility, and pain responses to uncover what’s really happening—not just where it hurts.

Imaging When Needed (X-ray, MRI, CT)

While not every patient needs imaging, when appropriate, we use advanced tools to visualize the discs, joints, nerves, and alignment of your spine. This allows us to confirm or rule out structural issues with accuracy.

A Strategic, Tech-Forward Approach

Medici Orthopaedics & Spine integrates modern diagnostic technology with clinical expertise. This approach allows us to identify root causes sooner, avoid unnecessary procedures, and deliver targeted, evidence-based treatment.

How Diagnostics Guide Your Treatment Plan

Once we understand the cause of your condition, we craft a personalized plan using the least invasive, most effective therapies available. This ensures your treatment is not only safe—but optimized for real, lasting relief.

Core Non-Surgical Spine Treatments at Medici Orthopaedics & Spine

At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we believe the best outcomes come from using the least-invasive treatment that produces the greatest improvement—and often, that means combining multiple non-surgical therapies that work better together than they do alone. Each treatment plan is curated based on your diagnostics, your goals, and your lifestyle, ensuring you receive care that’s both effective and genuinely personalized.

Physical Therapy & Corrective Exercise

Physical therapy isn’t just exercise—it’s precision treatment for restoring movement, stability, and long-term spine health.

Key benefits include:

  • Movement retraining: Corrects harmful patterns that contribute to pain.
  • Strength conditioning: Targets deep stabilizing muscles that protect the spine.
  • Postural correction: Improves alignment and reduces stress on joints and discs.
  • Personalized home programs: Keeps you progressing safely between visits.

Our therapists work hand-in-hand with our physicians, creating a collaborative, tech-forward approach that guides every patient toward sustainable improvement.

Myofascial Release & Manual Therapy

Hands-on treatment plays a powerful role in reducing muscle tension and improving mobility.

These therapies address:

  • Trigger point release: Breaks up painful knots and restores circulation.
  • Mobility restoration: Frees restricted soft tissue to improve range of motion.
  • Pain reduction: Helps relieve chronic muscle-related spine pain that can mimic disc or joint problems.

This targeted approach provides immediate relief while enhancing the effectiveness of physical therapy and corrective exercise.

Interventional Spine Injections

For patients struggling with inflammation or nerve irritation, interventional injections offer targeted, fast-acting relief.

Our procedures include:

  • Epidural steroid injections
  • Facet joint injections
  • Medial branch blocks
  • Sacroiliac (SI) joint injections

These minimally invasive treatments reduce inflammation around irritated nerves or joints, often allowing patients to progress more comfortably through rehabilitation and avoid premature surgical intervention.

Regenerative Medicine

For patients with ligament injuries, chronic inflammation, or degenerative spine changes, regenerative therapies may stimulate the body’s natural healing response.

Options include:

  • Prolotherapy: Injects targeted solutions to strengthen and stabilize weakened areas.
  • Natural healing stimulation: Encourages tissue repair and improved structural integrity.
  • Ideal for: Chronic ligament pain, mild disc issues, and stubborn musculoskeletal conditions.

These treatments are designed to restore—not mask—function.

Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS)

When pain persists despite conservative treatments, spinal cord stimulation offers a minimally invasive, non-opioid alternative.

What SCS does:

  • Sends gentle electrical pulses to interrupt pain signals before they reach the brain.
  • Helps reduce nerve-related chronic spine pain.
  • Allows many patients to significantly lower or eliminate their reliance on medication.

Ideal candidates include:
Patients with chronic back or leg pain who have not found relief with traditional conservative approaches, or those seeking alternatives to long-term opioid use.

Medication Management (Non-Addictive Focus)

At Medici, we treat medication as a supportive tool—not a long-term solution.

Our approach emphasizes:

  • Conservative, responsible use of medication
  • Non-opioid protocols that reduce inflammation, nerve irritation, and muscle tension without dependency risks

Our goal is always to help patients move away from medication over time—not toward it.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber Therapy

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy enhances the body's natural healing capacity by increasing oxygen delivery to damaged tissues.

Benefits include:

  • Enhanced tissue repair and cellular recovery
  • Reduction of chronic inflammation
  • Support for nerve pain and post-injury healing

This innovative therapy complements physical rehabilitation and regenerative treatments.

Sports Massage Therapy

Whether you’re an athlete or simply active, sports massage supports optimal movement and faster recovery.

Benefits include:

  • Soft tissue rehabilitation
  • Improved flexibility and circulation
  • Recovery support after strain, overuse, or athletic performance

It’s a powerful adjunct to physical therapy and corrective exercise.

Occupational Injury & Personal Injury Rehabilitation

Our team provides comprehensive, medically guided rehabilitation for patients recovering from work-related injuries or personal injuries.

Our focus includes:

  • Return-to-work protocols: Safe and structured strategies to help you re-engage with your job confidently.
  • Functional restoration: Improving strength, endurance, coordination, and mobility so you can return to normal life without limitations.

This integrated care model ensures you receive both effective treatment and the documentation you may require.
