About Spine Specialty Center
We are a multidisciplinary spine care center providing the services of an Anesthesiologist for Interventional Spinal Pain Management, an Orthopedic Spine Surgeon, and a McKenzie Certified Physical Therapist.
Our licensed practitioners are experienced in the treatment of most conditions that affect the neck and back. Common problems treated include: scoliosis, kyphosis, herniated disc, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, fractures from osteoporosis or injuries, or treatment of tumors. We are able to care for you by using techniques to lessen your pain--from Physical Therapy, to injection treatments, medications, bracing, or surgery if necessary. Cutting edge technologies including the Charite disk replacement are offered in advance of many clinics in the Southeast region.
Our office is designed to provide for your needs ON SITE. Our interventional suite allows for x-ray guided injection treatments without the need for an outpatient surgical center. These procedures are performed "same-day" within minutes (not hours) without a wait when you are in pain. We also have the ability to provide the services of one or more qualified MD's at the time of your office visit. This ensures that you receive the care you need, when you need it, preventing delay in your treatment or recovery.
Spine surgeon, Douglas Linville, II, MD, continues to provide advanced spine surgical care. After non-surgical attempts at pain control are deemed ineffective, Dr. Linville offers numerous surgical options--many of which are minimally invasive. Additionally, Dr. Linville continues to travel internationally, aiding in development of new technology and instructing physicians at courses on new techniques in Minimally Invasive Surgery.
Our goal is to get you back to health as soon as possible. This is done by using non-surgical means when appropriate, and by avoiding the use of addictive pain medications. When surgery is necessary, our experience employs thorough preoperative testing to ensure the right surgery for you. We will involve you in the decision-making process, and keep you informed as if you were a family member.
