Back & Spine
Referrals
The team at AOSM limit the treatment of the spine, both cervical and lumbar to initial evaluation of acute injuries most often related to sports related injuries. We do not treat spine injuries from work related or automobile accidents. We do not treat chronic back pain as all these injuries are best treated by physicians and surgeons who treat these conditions on a more routine and comprehensive basis. Our team does not provide surgical spine services but will be happy to recommend a specialist who does treat these conditions.
