Comprehensive care for back, neck and spine conditions

You depend on a healthy spine to support your life. Problems with the neck and back—the two main regions of the spine—can affect your physical and mental health and interfere with the most important parts of your life. At Baylor Scott & White, you’ll find comprehensive spine, back and neck care from orthopedic spine specialists, neurosurgeons, and other experts at locations across North and Central Texas.

Our specialists know spine, back and neck care isn’t one size fits all. We’ll start by recommending nonsurgical treatments that help you find the symptom relief you’re looking for.

If nonsurgical care doesn’t allow you to achieve your goals, our spine surgeons can explain your surgical options and help you decide if surgery makes sense. You’ll have access to the latest approaches to back and neck surgery, many of which are minimally invasive and may help you get back to the activities you love faster.

Our approach to spine care

When it comes to treating neck and back conditions, we take the time to understand not only your medical history and symptoms, but how neck or back pain is disrupting your daily life. This information allows us to create a unique plan of care. If a treatment isn’t successful, we’ll adjust your plan until we find what works.

  • Care across specialties and subspecialties

    Many neck and back problems require the expertise of orthopedic and neurosurgery specialists.

    Throughout your treatment journey, you’ll have access to orthopedic spine specialists and neurosurgeons who can help you move with less pain and restore your mobility and confidence. Other medical providers may also play an important role in your treatment. Physical therapists can teach you exercises to strengthen the muscles supporting your back and neck while also reducing discomfort. Occupational therapists can show you how to adjust the ways you perform activities of daily living to reduce strain on your neck and back.

  • A region-wide network of care

    When you’re living with a dull ache in your neck or shooting pain in your lower back, the last thing you want is to deal with a lengthy wait or extended car ride to see a spine specialist. That’s why Baylor Scott & White orthopedic specialists and neurosurgeons are available in communities throughout North and Central Texas.

    You can find Baylor Scott & White orthopedic and neurosurgery and spine locations in Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, Frisco, Plano, Austin and Temple, among others.

  • Treatments that range from conservative to surgical

    Like most people with neck or back pain, you may be able to manage or even eliminate it without surgery. The key is finding which nonsurgical treatments will provide lasting relief. Your spine specialist has many options to choose from, including medications, exercise programs, physical therapy and pain management interventions, such as image-guided injections or epidural steroid injections.

    Despite being highly effective for most people, conservative treatments don’t work for everyone. If your symptoms persist, you may need surgery. Rest assured, your spine specialist will recommend the least invasive procedure that seems best suited to treat your symptoms. Our spine surgeons perform a variety of advanced procedures, including discectomies and decompressions, often using minimally invasive techniques that produce less scarring and shorten recovery times.
