Physiatry | Non-Surgical Spine

Physiatry Locations

Physiatry, or Non-Surgical Interventional Spine, is a field of medicine that is designed to improve and maximize function lost through injury, illness or disabling conditions. The physiatrists at OrthoCarolina are experts on the bones, muscles and nerves that control how your body is affected by trauma like spinal cord damage, sports injuries, limb amputations, strokes and other musculoskeletal conditions.

At OrthoCarolina, our physiatrists treat patients of all ages for conditions ranging from the developmental disabilities of childhood to the acute injuries of adulthood and finally to the chronic diseases associated with aging. Our physiatrists offer a full continuum of care and design a comprehensive program around your lifestyle, trying to ensure you are as self-sufficient as possible while keeping you active and healthy.

Specialized treatment options include Spinal Cord Stimulation and Ultrasound Guided Injections. Oftentimes we will involve other medical providers in the plan for various treatments such as neurology.

The physiatrists at OrthoCarolina are sub-specialized and often treat spinal problems. While these providers are non-operative, they are trained in various spinal injections that are often done under fluoroscopy, such as X-ray. OrthoCarolina physiatrists also perform electrodiagnostic studies, more commonly known as “nerve studies,” to help diagnose various neurologic problems such as carpal tunnel syndrome.
