We’ve Got Your Back

CentraState’s spine care experts take a conservative approach in treating your back or neck pain.  Your personalized treatment plan may include physical therapy with CentraState’s certified spine rehabilitation experts or pain management physicians. Our Orthopedic and Physical Medicine doctors will coordinate care to help you alleviate pain and regain your quality of life.

Maximum Experience, Minimally Invasive

If surgery is needed, CentraState’s spine care specialists include board certified neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons with advanced training in spinal surgery. When appropriate, our surgeons use minimally invasive approaches, which means less scarring, faster recovery and less pain for our patients. Our Magnet-recognized nursing staff supports your recovery.
