The right diagnosis. The least invasive option that works.
Spine pain can come from many sources — discs, joints, nerves, muscles, posture, or a combination. Our approach begins by identifying which one is actually driving your symptoms, then matching the treatment to the cause.
Many spine conditions respond well to conservative care, image-guided procedures, or minimally invasive techniques — meaning open surgery is rarely the first option we discuss. When surgery is the right answer, we use the most precise, least disruptive technique available for your specific anatomy.
Conditions we treat
- Herniated and bulging discs (cervical, thoracic, lumbar)
- Spinal stenosis (central, foraminal, lateral recess)
- Sciatica and radiculopathy
- Spondylolisthesis
- Vertebral compression fractures
- Degenerative disc disease
- Facet joint arthropathy
- Failed back surgery syndrome
Treatments we offer
Most patients start with conservative care or image-guided interventions. Surgery is reserved for cases where it provides a clear advantage.
Disc Herniation Treatment
Tiered approach: conservative care, epidural injections, and — when indicated — microdiscectomy to relieve nerve compression with minimal disruption to surrounding tissue.
Spinal Stenosis Care
From physical therapy and epidural injections to minimally invasive lumbar decompression (MILD) and laminectomy when symptoms warrant.
Kyphoplasty
Minimally invasive stabilization of vertebral compression fractures. Performed in an outpatient setting, often with significant pain relief within 24–48 hours.
Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery
Tubular retractor and endoscopic techniques that reduce muscle disruption, blood loss, and recovery time compared with traditional open surgery.
Cervical Decompression
Targeted procedures for cervical disc herniation and stenosis causing arm pain, weakness, or numbness — including anterior and posterior approaches when indicated.
Spinal Fusion (When Necessary)
Reserved for cases of instability or deformity where motion preservation is not feasible. We use minimally invasive techniques wherever the anatomy allows.
What to expect
Your first visit is a thorough evaluation: a focused history, physical examination, review of any imaging you've already had, and an honest conversation about the options. If additional imaging is needed, we'll arrange it. You'll leave with a clear understanding of what's causing your pain and what we'd recommend doing about it.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an MRI before my first visit?
Not always. Bring any imaging you've had in the past year, but we don't require an MRI to schedule a consultation. We'll determine what additional imaging, if any, is needed based on the examination.
Will I need surgery?
Most spine patients do not need surgery. The majority of conditions we treat respond to conservative care or image-guided procedures. Surgery is recommended only when it provides a clear advantage over other options.
How long is recovery after minimally invasive spine surgery?
Recovery varies by procedure, but most patients walking on the same day, return to light activity within 1–2 weeks, and most normal activities within 4–6 weeks. We provide a specific recovery roadmap before any procedure.
Can spine pain go away on its own?
Many acute episodes do resolve. The question is when to seek evaluation: if symptoms have persisted more than 6 weeks, if you have weakness or numbness, or if pain is severe enough to limit daily function, an evaluation is appropriate.
Do you accept Medicare?
Yes. Triumph Ortho & Spine is a Medicare non-participating provider. See our Insurance & Payment page for full details.
