Neck & Back

Not every orthopaedic practice has doctors who specialize in spine care, but at Columbia Orthopaedic Group in mid-Missouri, we have eight board-certified and fellowship-trained spine doctors who diagnose and treat all types of neck pain, back pain and spine disorders, including:

• Bulging and herniated discs
• Spinal stenosis
• Degenerative disc disease
• Scoliosis and congenital spine deformities
• Sciatica
• Whiplash
• Slipped vertebrae - Spondylolisthesis
• Stress fracture – Spondylolysis

To relieve your pain, our doctors will always try conservative treatments before resorting to surgery. We also have a physical medicine and rehabilitation doctor who specializes in treating neck and back pain with non-operative spine care such as physical therapy, interventional spine care, electrodiagnostic medicine, and injections delivered under X-ray guidance. However, if spine surgery is necessary, our spine doctors perform the latest, minimally-invasive procedures, such as:

• Spinal lumbar fusion
• Artificial lumbar disc replacement
• Artificial cervical disc replacement
• Minimally invasive lateral access spine surgery
• Minimally invasive posterior fusion spine surgery
• Lumbar discectomy
• Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF)
• Kyphoplasty
• Laminectomy
• Lumbar epidural injections
• Cervical epidural injections
• Thoracic epidural injections
• Trigger point injections
• Facet joint injections
