Spine Treatment Options
Physical Therapy
Targeted exercise programs designed to strengthen the core and paraspinal muscles, improve posture, and reduce spinal compression — one of the most effective long-term solutions for spine pain.
Manual Therapy
Hands-on techniques including joint mobilization, spinal manipulation, and soft tissue work to restore spinal alignment, relieve nerve compression, and improve range of motion.
Acupuncture & Acupressure
Traditional and clinically validated techniques that reduce inflammation, relieve nerve pain, and promote healing in the affected spinal structures.
Pain Management Injections
For moderate to severe cases, our physicians may recommend spinal epidural injections or nerve blocks to reduce inflammation and provide targeted, lasting pain relief — allowing patients to engage more effectively in rehabilitation.
Regenerative Medicine (PRP)
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy uses growth factors from your own blood to accelerate healing in damaged spinal discs, joints, and surrounding tissues.
