Chronic pain or spinal injury shouldn’t hold you back. At Total Orthopedics, our Spine & Pain Center offers comprehensive care for back and neck pain, herniated discs, nerve issues, and more — all under one roof. From targeted pain relief to advanced spine surgery, we’re here to help you move better, feel better, and live pain-free.
Pain can start in the spine, but its impact doesn’t stop there — it affects your mobility, your sleep, your energy, and your ability to live fully. Whether it’s the sharp sting of a herniated disc, the radiating ache of sciatica, or the grinding pressure of spinal stenosis, living with discomfort becomes exhausting. That’s why comprehensive, focused treatment is critical.
Our Spine & Pain Center takes an integrated approach to care. Every patient begins with a precise diagnosis using advanced imaging and clinical evaluation. From there, we create a treatment path that may include non-surgical interventions like physical therapy, targeted injections, nerve blocks, or regenerative medicine. If surgical care is necessary, our spine specialists offer minimally invasive procedures with faster recovery times and better long-term outcomes.
You don’t have to accept daily pain as your new normal. With the right combination of spine care and pain management, you can get back to moving confidently, sleeping soundly, and living the life you’ve been missing.
The Spine Center at Total Orthopedics & Sports Medicine offers advanced, full-spectrum care for spinal conditions—led by fellowship-trained surgeons and interventional pain specialists. We diagnose and treat everything from disc herniations and spinal stenosis to scoliosis, trauma, and degenerative spine issues using high-resolution imaging, non-surgical therapies, and minimally invasive procedures.
Our approach blends surgical expertise with conservative treatment to relieve pain, restore mobility, and support long-term spine health. With same-week access and coordinated care at every stage, we help you move forward with comfort and confidence.
Every spine treatment we offer is built around one goal: lasting relief with minimal disruption. Using advanced diagnostics and targeted techniques, we help you move forward with less pain, better function, and renewed confidence.
We use advanced techniques to treat spine conditions through small incisions, reducing tissue disruption, post-op pain, and recovery time for conditions like herniated discs and stenosis.
Our surgeons perform endoscopic decompression to remove disc fragments or bone spurs precisely through a tiny incision. This approach minimizes trauma and helps patients recover faster.
For patients with disc degeneration, we offer motion-preserving disc implants as an alternative to fusion. This procedure restores function without limiting spinal movement.
When stability is compromised, we perform spinal fusion using modern fixation systems and bone grafts to restore alignment and reduce painful motion.
Our team uses real-time imaging to perform epidural injections, facet blocks, and nerve ablations. These targeted treatments help relieve pain with precision and control.
Director of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery
World-class leader in minimally invasive spine surgery, combining unmatched surgical skill and PT expertise to set new standards in scoliosis, disc injury, and spinal reconstruction care.
Fellowship-trained spine surgeon Dr. Dante Leven walks you through common spinal issues like herniated discs and explains how our team approaches diagnosis, treatment, and recovery. From non-surgical care to advanced minimally invasive procedures, this video introduces what to expect when you trust your spine to Total Orthopedics.
A large lumbar disc herniation can press on the nerve roots, leading to pain, tingling, numbness, and weakness radiating into the legs.
When disc material takes up the spinal canal, it compresses the nerves—triggering discomfort and limiting mobility.
Most patients start with physical therapy, medications, lifestyle changes, and image-guided epidural steroid injections to reduce inflammation and nerve irritation.
What was once a large open surgery can now be performed through a 7mm incision using an endoscope—preserving muscle, reducing trauma, and speeding up recovery.
Patients often go home the same day and are up and walking just hours after surgery, with significantly less leg pain and improved function.
The Pain Management Center at Total Orthopedics & Sports Medicine offers advanced, focused care for musculoskeletal and nerve-related pain. Our interventional specialists evaluate joint inflammation, post-injury discomfort, and chronic pain using image-guided techniques to accurately identify the source.
We focus on precise, minimally invasive pain treatments that interrupt pain signals and reduce inflammation without long-term opioid use. When pain is driven by an underlying orthopedic condition, care is coordinated directly with our spine and orthopedic specialists to support sustained relief and functional recovery.
Pain isn’t always easy to trace — it might begin in the back and spread to the hips, or start in the neck and trigger headaches or arm weakness. At Total Orthopedics & Sports Medicine, we take a top-to-bottom approach to diagnosis and treatment, because pain rarely stays in one place. Whether you’re dealing with nerve pain, joint inflammation, post-surgical discomfort, or muscle tightness, our team works to uncover the source and deliver targeted, lasting relief.
We treat pain in all its forms — from sharp ankle pain and lingering knee stiffness to radiating back aches and stubborn neck tension. Using evidence-based therapies and personalized plans, we help you move more freely, rest more deeply, and get back to living on your terms. Wherever it hurts, we’re here to help.
At our Pain Management Center, treatment isn’t just about managing symptoms — it’s about restoring confidence in your body. With advanced, minimally invasive options and a focus on non-opioid care, we guide you through every phase of recovery with clarity, compassion, and expert support.
At the Pain Management Center, our focus is lasting change — not quick fixes. Each step is designed to bring clarity, relief, and control back to your daily life. We don’t generalize your care; we zero in on what will actually make a difference.
From radiofrequency ablation to spinal cord stimulators, we use minimally invasive procedures backed by strong clinical outcomes — offering relief without major disruption to your life.
We move beyond opioid-heavy approaches with options designed to reduce risk and improve results — including regenerative therapies, nerve blocks, and guided injections.
Whether your pain is tied to arthritis, surgical recovery, nerve damage, or spine degeneration, we build your care around what’s worked in the most challenging cases.
We’re built to handle fractures, sprains, tendon injuries, and joint pain — not general conditions, just orthopedic ones.
We understand that pain doesn’t just affect your body — it interrupts your work, routines, and relationships. That’s why we create solutions that fit your schedule and your lifestyle, so you can heal without putting your life on hold.
Nerve block injections are used to relieve pain by blocking signals from specific nerves. They are often recommended for conditions like sciatica, herniated discs, or chronic neck and back pain. These injections can help reduce inflammation, improve mobility, and provide lasting relief when conservative care options haven’t been effective.
Yes, we provide effective non-opioid pain relief using a combination of medications such as anti-inflammatories, acetaminophen, and nerve pain treatments. We also offer targeted injections and nerve blocks to manage pain safely and improve your comfort without relying on opioids.
Spinal injections usually offer temporary pain relief lasting from several weeks to a few months. The duration of relief varies based on the specific condition being treated and how your body responds. Some patients may experience longer relief, while others require additional injections to maintain comfort.
A herniated disc often causes sharp, burning, or shooting pain in the neck or lower back. This pain can radiate into the arms or legs, especially when nerves are compressed. Tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness may also occur. Some people feel worse when sitting, coughing, or bending. Diagnosis through imaging helps confirm the condition.
Recovery varies depending on the procedure. Minimally invasive spine surgeries allow many patients to return to light activities within a few weeks. More extensive surgeries, like spinal fusion, may require several months of recovery and rehabilitation. Our team provides a detailed recovery plan to guide your return to normal function safely and effectively.
Back pain is an emergency when you experience sudden, severe pain, especially if it radiates to your legs or is accompanied by weakness, numbness, or loss of bladder or bowel control. These signs require immediate medical attention to ensure prompt diagnosis and treatment.
You need an X-ray scan when your doctor suspects a bone-related issue such as a fracture, spinal misalignment, or degenerative changes. X-rays provide clear images of bones to diagnose structural abnormalities and guide personalized treatment plans.
You should worry about neck pain if it is severe, lasts longer than a few days, or is accompanied by numbness, weakness, or tingling in your arms or hands. Also, seek care if neck pain follows an injury or causes difficulty moving your head or performing daily activities.
