At the Integrative Spine Institute at St. Luke’s Medical Center, specialists collaborate and coordinate care with each other so that patients no longer have to worry about if they are seeing the right kind of health care professional. Instead, services are combined at one location for the ease and convenience of the patient. The communication between the specialists who work in unison ensures that patients receive quality care that is complex and individualized to the particular pain or injury. As a result, patients can return to their daily living and work routine as quickly as possible without the hassle of visiting multiple medical providers.
According to the American Association of Neurological Surgeons, approximately 75-85 percent of Americans will experience some sort of back pain in their lifetime. Every patient at the Integrative Spine Institute will receive a thorough care evaluation to determine the treatment plan that is best for them. Our specialists have the experience to know when a surgery or treatment option will or will not benefit the spine patient. Our integrative medical approach is to use a non-surgical approach to get patients healthy and back to their daily routine. If a patient does not require surgery, our specialists will work together to find the most effective treatment therapies for the pain or injury.
