Back and neck pain can impact almost every part of your daily life, including work, sleep, movement, and comfort. This pain can come from muscles, nerves, joints, bones, or discs in your spine. For many people, spine pain is temporary and improves with time, but for others, it can persist or worsen without proper care.
At Medical Associates, we focus on finding the cause of your pain and building a treatment plan to help you move better, feel less discomfort, and keep your spine healthy over time. Many conditions can be managed successfully without surgery through a combination of medical care, therapy, and lifestyle adjustments.
Conditions We Treat
Our spine care team evaluates a wide range of neck and back conditions, including:
- Back pain

Every patient’s symptoms and underlying condition are different, which is why a thorough evaluation is the first step in developing the right treatment approach.
Non-Surgical Treatment Options
Many spine conditions can be effectively managed without surgery. Treatment recommendations are based on the specific condition, the severity of symptoms, and the patient's overall health. Common treatment options may include:
- Targeted exercise programs
- Physical therapy
- Activity modification and ergonomic guidance
- Pain management strategies
- Spine injections or other interventional treatments
- Medication when appropriate
When Surgery May Be Considered
For some patients, surgery may become an option when conservative treatments are no longer providing adequate relief or when certain spine conditions require surgical intervention. In these cases, we may refer you to our Spine Surgery team at Medical Associates to talk about possible surgical options.
Coordinated Spine Care
At Medical Associates, our spine care is built around a coordinated, team-based approach. Patients often begin their care with Orthopedics or Physical Medicine, where our specialists evaluate symptoms and explore non-surgical treatment options. Depending on the diagnosis and response to treatment, care may involve collaboration with:
- Physical Medicine
- Sports Medicine
- Physical Therapy
- Rheumatology
- Primary Care
Our coordinated approach allows providers to address both the symptoms and the underlying cause of spine conditions while helping you move through each stage of treatment and recovery.
