Treatments and Services

Our main goal is to alleviate your pain and restore daily function as quickly as possible. Patients can now refer themselves to the WVU Medicine Spine Center. We provide evaluation, management, and rehabilitation of neurological and orthopaedic problems related to the spine, neck, and back.

At your first appointment, you’ll receive a comprehensive spine evaluation by a specially trained physician. Together, you and the spine center team will determine the best course of action, whether it’s surgical or non-surgical treatment. Using state-of-the-art diagnosis and treatment methods, our team provides evaluation with specialized equipment to help guide spinal injections, and neurorehabilitation that combines neurology and rehabilitative medicine.

Whenever possible, we use minimally invasive techniques with fewer incisions to treat a variety of conditions that shorten the time patients spend in the hospital and provide quicker recovery. With the Mazor X™ robotic surgical guidance system, our surgeons are able to perform a number of procedures with greater precision and better outcomes, including thoracic, cervical, and lumbar surgery.

We also coordinate patient care with the WVU Medicine Center for Integrative Pain Management, which offers a variety of therapies, such as behavioral medicine related to pain symptoms, massage therapy, and chiropractic care.
