Together at the top. We want to help you understand your pain, overcome it and feel confident in knowing what to do if it comes back. Our goal is your independence, and we believe every patient can overcome the pain that dominates and dictates life.
We are here when you need us most. Our team of specialists bring years of experience in spinal and musculoskeletal diagnostics. Using our diverse backgrounds, we aim to create individualized soft tissue therapy and recovery programs that put your needs first.
Pain has a purpose and with an accurate diagnosis and the appropriate therapy, our patients see results faster. Your success is our success.
We participate with major insurance providers, in and out of network. We also participate with Personal Injury (PIP) and Workers Compensation Plans. We have options designed for patients who are uninsured and under insured. Although verification of benefits is not a guarantee of coverage, we pre-authorize insurance coverage to help our patients better understand how individual policies apply in our office.
Our physicians are considered specialists and therefor do not require a referral. Even so, our doctors work in close communication and collaboration with other treating physicians such as primary care physicians and surgical specialists. Better care comes from working together as a team.
Patients deserve the time they need to achieve results and we are dedicated to this. New patients are always seen by our physicians who will conduct a thorough history and examination. Imaging studies such as x-rays are not a requirement on the first visit and they are reserved for specific conditions only, for example, if a fracture were suspected. We find that for most patients, imaging is not needed, and a diagnosis can be made during the exam. Every patient is different, and every plan of recovery should also be different. Our clinical team is here to help bring clarity to the process of therapy and we provide the education and resources patients need. Our experience is that most patients can be treated the same day and leave feeling better than when they first arrived.
Absolutely not. In fact, it is not uncommon for a patient to need something entirely different. Some patients wish to avoid spinal manipulation altogether. The goal of care is that you see results and the only way we can help our patients achieve this is to listen to what each patient needs individually. Spinal manipulation is just one of many conservative and non-surgical tools we must help patients. Like a fingerprint, every patient is different. It is not about us; it is about you.
Quite the opposite, the goal is that you do not need us at all. Once our exam has ruled out any red flags for concern, a trial of individualized, conservative care serves as our best diagnostic tool. Pain is a message from the body that something needs attention or that something needs to change. The goal of care is to figure out what the body needs. For most, an initial trial of therapy is short, and patients see results within 1-6 visits. Results are tracked closely and monitored to ensure progress. Pain should be going down and function should be going up. If a patient fails to improve, we work hard to find answers which may include ordering imaging or coordinating a referral to a specialist. As our patients improve, we introduce home mechanical therapy programs to foster independence. Most patients find that once they feel better, they can manage on their own and chose to come in only when they need us.
Health care is not seen as a team sport where doctors work together. Yet if it were, it would offer a world of value to patients and physicians. Spinal pain, muscle pain and headaches are complex to treat, and every patient is unique. Accelerating patient results depends on doctors of different specialties working together. Physician led Team-Based care delivers unparalleled outcomes that patients deserve. At North Orlando Spine Center, every aspect of your care is coordinated. Our team of specialized experts will work together to provide the exact care you need. Getting effective treatment depends on identifying the right problems. When different problems exist, our physicians will work with a patient’s medical team, communicating progress and collaborating care. Our Team-Based approach offers a destination for all who need certainty, options and hope.
Following Hurricane Ian, our hope is that everyone is safe. Please be advised that North Orlando Spine Center is now open. Our phones are back up and running. We were without them for a few days and we apologize for any inconvenience this caused. We will be back at the office early tomorrow morning returning calls as fast as we can. Thank you to our wonderful community of patients!
