Treatments We Provide To Relieve Back Pain

At the Institute for Diagnosis and Treatment of Pain, we are dedicated to getting you out of pain and back to your normal life as quickly and as painlessly as possible. There are centers that promote laser back surgery as a “cure-all."  Yes, we perform laser surgery. However, our focus is to determine the best and least-invasive solution to your pain -- not to promote one treatment option.

We perform a wide range of techniques, including laser surgery. Each has its benefits and its limitations.  Since we treat individuals with unique situations and pain-relief needs, we will never be “married” to one technique; rather, we'll work to find the best solution possible to your back pain.

When all other procedures have been tried unsuccessfully, we will present all of your options in easy-to-understand terms.  We will explore the pros and cons of surgery with you, as well as the techniques themselves (such as minimally invasive back surgery, laser back surgery, robotically assisted back surgeries and more).  We will help you discover the best path to relieving your pain and getting getting on with your life.  Below is a partial list of the surgeries we perform:
