Spine specialists at St. Vincent Spine Institute, 2200 W. 3rd St., Suite 120 B, take care of patients with all types of spinal problems, including malalignments, bulging disc, herniated disc, pinched nerve, spine scoliosis, spinal stenosis, spinal tumors, and bone spurs.
Spinal orthopaedists and neurosurgeons at St. Vincent Spine Institute use a conservative approach to caring for their patients. They begin by making an accurate diagnosis, then use physical therapy and pain management clinical treatments before considering surgical options. When surgery is indicated, St. Vincent Spine Institute orthopaedists use minimally invasive techniques with image-guided technology at St. Vincent Medical Center to achieve the best outcomes with the fastest healing time for their patients.
