Following a complete and thorough examination, our specialists will often seek non-surgical therapies before recommending surgery. These may include:
The SpineZone System
This unique, medically based workout program offers a series of bio-mechanically precise exercise machines that help target, isolate and strengthen spinal muscle groups. This then promotes greater stability, flexibility and endurance. Exercise sessions are short, and you will begin to feel positive results at once. We provide specially trained therapists to supervise your workout under the guidance of our medical staff.
