Complete surgical and nonsurgical spine treatment
When you come to Adventist Health for spine pain, you have access to leading-edge
diagnostic and treatment options. For complex spine conditions Dr. Katsuura
provides expert care.
Not all spine pain requires surgery. Whenever possible, Dr. Katsuura will
recommend conservative, nonsurgical treatments, including:
-
Pain and anti-inflammatory medications: We can provide oral pain medication or administer medication via injections.
-
Orthopedic rehabilitation: This includes physical therapy and occupational therapy, as well as other
treatments.
-
Bracing: A brace can stabilize the joint to promote proper healing.
-
Rest/ice/compression/elevation: Also called RICE, this simple at-home treatment can reduce inflammation and pain.
-
Alternative treatments: Chiropractic care or acupuncture can be used to alleviate pain.
