At Newport Orthopedic Institute, we believe in providing comprehensive
care for patients suffering from back pain and neck pain. We offer both
surgical and non-surgical (conservative) treatment plans including pain
management, physical medicine, rehabilitation, and evidence-based innovative
procedures.
Giving You Back Your Mobility, Stability & Freedom
Spinal injuries can cause serious difficulties with mobility and performing
daily activities pain-free. At Newport Orthopedic Institute, we offer
spine surgeries and pain management options in Orange County that are
intended to help you restore your regular function as quickly as possible.
When it comes to treating spinal column injuries and pain, we focus on
developing personalized plans for each patient’s unique health needs.
In many cases, surgery may be required. Our team of spine surgeons at
Newport Orthopedic Institute have performed thousands of spinal surgeries,
bringing a collective 60+ years of medical experience to our orthopedic
practice. Our spine doctors are highly talented and treat a variety of
spine conditions and injuries, including cervical, thoracic, and lumbar
spine pathologies. We use the most current, evidence-based and advanced
operative techniques.
Non-Surgical Treatment Options for Back & Neck Conditions
Different By Design
At Newport Orthopedic Institute, our team approach to spine conditions
ensures our patients receive the best care and results. Our board-certified
physical medicine & rehabilitation (PM&R) physiatrists are here
to offer non-surgical options to treat your spine and back pain. This
includes Fluoroscopic-guided (video X-ray device) pain management injections
as well as local anesthetic nerve blocks to decrease pain in a specific
area of your body before and after surgery. Living with chronic pain can
have a negative impact on your daily life and general happiness. Let the
spine doctors at Newport Orthopedic Institute help relieve your pain and
get you back to the activities you enjoy.
Our spine doctors will not typically recommend spine surgery as the first
treatment option. However, when conservative, non-surgical treatments
do not relieve the pain it may be time to consider spine or neck surgery
as a treatment option. Our board-certified orthopedic surgeons are fellowship-trained
to specialize in treatments specific to spine and cervical conditions
and disorders. They offer the most advanced, evidence-based surgical teatment
options to relieve back and neck pain.
Surgical Treatment Options for Spine & Cervical Conditions:
Artificial Disc Replacement
Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) and Instrumentation
When conservative (non-surgical) treatments such as medication, physical
therapy, injections and exercise have been tried, but still do not alleviate
your back or neck pain, it may be time to seriously consider undergoing
back surgery. Your final decision to proceed with spine surgery or not,
will greatly depend on the level of pain your are experiencing, the limitations
to your normal daily activities, how extensive the surgery is and if there
are any adverse complications if surgery is delayed (e.g. foot drop).
Are you a candidate?

of time, exercising or sleeping without pain or stiffness
