Spine care
Spine specialists in Decatur, Texas
Living with neck or back pain can make common activities feel agonizing.
Our spine doctors provide a wide range of treatments using advanced technologies and minimally invasive techniques. We are committed to treating your spine condition so you can get back to a pain-free life.
Causes of back problems
Orthopedic specialists at Medical City Decatur will work to find the cause of your pain and create an effective, customized plan. Back or neck problems can have many causes, including:
- Damage from overuse
- Damage from an injury
- Medical problems, such as arthritis
The orthopedic team may use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to pinpoint back and spine conditions. Images from MRI scans can detect anything from a herniated disc to muscle issues or arthritis. We'll then move forward with a treatment plan, which may include spine surgery.
Orthopedic spine surgery
Many back injuries can be treated or manage back pain using nonsurgical methods, including physical therapy. If surgery is needed, orthopedic doctors at Medical City Decatur will choose the least invasive options that meet your needs.
