The spine is a complex structure. Through our diagnostic services, we can help identify the cause of spine-related pain. Through our therapeutic services, we can then treat it.

诊断和成像服务：

• X-ray
• CT scan
• 磁共振成像（MRI）
• Bone scan
• 肌电图（EMG）
• 神经传导研究（NCS）
• Diagnostic spinal injections including facet nerve blocks, selective spinal nerve root blocks, and provocative discograms

我们的成像专家随时可用于对您的学习进行解释和咨询。我们还为我们的儿科和成人患者提供专门的服务，他们可能需要镇静的成像，以及非幽默的MRI。

Therapeutic services

• 诸如InterlaMinar和晶状体硬膜外异形类固醇注射，小关节和骶髂关节注射的治疗注射
• Radiofrequency ablation of the facet nerves
• Vertebral augmentation of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures with a special cement

当常规医疗或物理治疗不能降低慢性疼痛时，患者是综合疼痛管理的候选人。

宾夕法尼亚州脊柱中心有麻醉学家，外科医生，介入神经理解学家，物理学家，物理治疗师和其他专家在一起工作。我们的目标是减少痛苦，提高患者的生活功能和质量。

Board-certified pain management physicians and highly-trained nurses provide:

• 综合评价包括必要时的诊断研究
• Diagnostic and therapeutic procedures
• 医疗管理的建议
• Referrals to other specialists
• Referral to a multi-disciplinary pain rehabilitation program with a strong emphasis on behavioral modification and self-directed treatments
• 患者教育

我们的患者与我们的脊椎外科医生一起评估。这减少了冗余并为患者节省时间。我们还协调我们的初级保健医生的治疗，以提供有关生活方式的信息，如减肥和吸烟停止。这促进了自我管理技术，并降低了对医疗保健设施的依赖。

康复包括使用非手术治疗来管理疼痛，恢复功能，并防止颈部和背部疼痛的再循环。
