Pain, spine & orthopaedic care in Ocean & Monmouth County, NJ
Our Care

Surgical and minimally invasive spine options

When nonsurgical care is not enough, a minimally invasive procedure or a surgical evaluation may be the next step.

Minimally invasive spine procedures

These procedures use small incisions or needles and image guidance. Many are outpatient. Candidacy depends on your exam and imaging.

Spine surgery evaluation

A spine surgeon may recommend surgery when there is nerve or spinal cord compression that matches your symptoms, worsening weakness, instability or deformity, or pain that has not improved with a reasonable course of other care.
