Overview
Providence Spine Services brings together a host of expert physicians, experienced nurses and highly skilled therapists to provide complete back and spine care to people who have back pain or who have suffered a back injury.
Embracing a philosophy of conservative therapy, the Providence team encourages the use of noninvasive treatments, such as medications and physical therapy. Most people can find significant, if not complete, relief through such measures. If surgery is required, Providence physicians employ state-of-the-art imaging technology, the best techniques and extraordinary care to ensure that patients achieve the best results possible.
Our physician team includes neurologists, neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons. They are located throughout the Portland area, serving patients at Providence St. Vincent Medical Center, Providence Portland Medical Center, Providence Milwaukie Hospital and Providence Newberg Medical Center.
