Expert Care for Back and Neck Pain
Back and neck pain are among the most common reasons patients seek orthopedic care, and OrthoTexas provides expert evaluation and treatment for the full spectrum of spine conditions. From everyday muscle strain and posture-related discomfort to complex degenerative or nerve-related spine issues, OrthoTexas offers comprehensive, conservative-first care tailored to each patient’s needs. With access to fellowship-trained spine surgeons, interventional pain specialists, and rehabilitation experts across multiple North Texas locations, patients benefit from broad expertise, timely diagnosis, and coordinated treatment designed to relieve pain and restore function.
Conditions We Treat
OrthoTexas treats a wide range of spine conditions affecting the neck, mid-back, and lower back, using a conservative-first, evidence-based approach. Our spine specialists diagnose and manage both acute injuries and chronic degenerative conditions, tailoring care plans to each patient’s symptoms, lifestyle, and goals. Below are some of the most common spine conditions treated at OrthoTexas, each supported by advanced diagnostics and coordinated specialty care.
Herniated Discs
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears often occur during pivoting, cutting, or sudden deceleration movements and may cause a popping sensation, swelling, and knee instability. OrthoTexas treats ACL injuries in athletes and active individuals with personalized rehabilitation plans and surgical reconstruction when needed to restore stability.
Degenerative Disc Disease
Meniscus tears involve damage to the knee’s shock-absorbing cartilage and can lead to pain, swelling, stiffness, or catching and locking of the joint. Treatment depends on the tear type, size, and patient activity level, ranging from physical therapy to arthroscopic repair or trimming.
Spinal Stenosis
Injuries to the medial (MCL), lateral (LCL), or posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) often result from impact, twisting, or overstretching of the knee. OrthoTexas specialists evaluate knee stability and alignment to determine whether bracing, rehabilitation, or surgical intervention is the best course of care.
Sciatica & Nerve Pain
Patellar instability occurs when the kneecap shifts out of its normal groove, sometimes leading to dislocation. Patients may experience pain, swelling, or a feeling that the knee is “giving way.” Treatment focuses on restoring proper tracking through therapy, bracing, or corrective surgery in recurrent cases.
Spondylolisthesis
Knee osteoarthritis develops as cartilage gradually wears down, causing stiffness, swelling, and chronic pain that worsens with activity. OrthoTexas offers a full range of arthritis care, including lifestyle modifications, injections, and advanced joint replacement options for severe disease.
Fractures & Trauma
Patellofemoral pain syndrome causes discomfort around or behind the kneecap, often related to overuse, muscle imbalance, or alignment issues. Treatment typically emphasizes targeted physical therapy, strengthening, and movement correction to reduce stress on the joint.
Neck Pain & Whiplash
Conditions such as patellar tendonitis (jumper’s knee) and quadriceps tendonitis, result from repetitive stress and overloading of the knee tendons. OrthoTexas focuses on reducing inflammation, correcting biomechanics, and gradually returning patients to activity.
Chronic Back Pain
Traumatic knee injuries, including fractures of the patella or surrounding bones, require prompt evaluation and specialized care. OrthoTexas trauma-trained orthopedic surgeons manage both simple and complex knee fractures, from stabilization to surgical repair and rehabilitation.
Spine Treatments and Procedures
OrthoTexas offers a complete range of spine treatments designed to relieve pain, restore function, and improve quality of life, always starting with conservative care whenever possible. Our spine specialists follow a balanced, evidence-based approach, progressing from non-surgical therapies to advanced surgical solutions only when clinically appropriate. By integrating diagnostics, pain management, rehabilitation, and surgical expertise within one orthopedic system, OrthoTexas ensures each patient receives the right level of care at the right time.
Non-Surgical Treatments
Non-surgical spine care focuses on reducing pain, improving mobility, and stabilizing the spine without surgery. Treatment plans may include physical therapy, targeted exercise programs, medication management, bracing, and coordinated conservative care strategies designed to address both acute and chronic spine conditions.
Interventional Spine Procedures
Interventional procedures are minimally invasive treatments used to reduce inflammation, relieve nerve irritation, and help confirm pain sources. These may include epidural steroid injections, medial branch blocks, facet joint injections, and radiofrequency ablation, often guided by advanced imaging for precision.
Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery
Minimally invasive spine surgery uses smaller incisions and specialized techniques to treat conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and nerve compression. These approaches are designed to reduce tissue disruption, shorten recovery time, and help patients return to daily activities more quickly.
Spinal Fusion & Reconstruction
Spinal fusion and reconstructive procedures may be recommended for instability, deformity, or severe degenerative conditions. These surgeries stabilize affected segments of the spine and are performed using modern techniques aimed at improving alignment, reducing pain, and supporting long-term function.
Motion-Preserving Surgery
Motion-preserving procedures, such as artificial disc replacement when appropriate, are designed to relieve pain while maintaining natural spine movement. These options may be considered for select patients who meet specific clinical criteria.
Disc Decompression Procedures
Disc decompression techniques relieve pressure on spinal nerves caused by herniated or bulging discs, helping reduce radiating pain and neurological symptoms.
Laminectomy & Decompression Surgery
Laminectomy and related decompression procedures remove bone or tissue compressing the spinal cord or nerves, commonly used to treat spinal stenosis and nerve impingement.
Kyphoplasty & Vertebroplasty
These minimally invasive procedures stabilize spinal compression fractures, often related to osteoporosis, to reduce pain and support spinal alignment.
Revision Spine Surgery
Revision procedures address persistent symptoms, instability, or hardware-related issues following prior spine surgery, requiring specialized expertise and careful planning.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I see a spine specialist?
You may consider seeing a spine specialist if back or neck pain persists despite rest, radiates into the arms or legs, or is accompanied by weakness, numbness, or limited mobility. Injuries, worsening symptoms, or pain that interferes with daily activities are also common reasons to seek an orthopedic evaluation.
Do all back and neck problems require surgery?
No. Most spine conditions improve with non-surgical care. OrthoTexas follows a conservative-first philosophy, using treatments such as physical therapy, medications, and targeted injections before considering surgery. Surgical options are recommended only when appropriate and when other treatments have not provided relief.
What diagnostic tests are used to evaluate spine conditions?
Spine evaluation often includes a detailed physical exam along with imaging such as X-rays or MRI to assess bones, discs, nerves, and soft tissues. In some cases, additional imaging such as CT scans may be used to gather more detailed information.
What is minimally invasive spine surgery?
Minimally invasive spine surgery uses smaller incisions and specialized techniques to treat certain spine conditions while reducing disruption to surrounding tissues. These approaches may lead to shorter recovery times and less postoperative discomfort for appropriately selected patients.
Does OrthoTexas treat chronic spine pain?
Yes. OrthoTexas provides comprehensive care for chronic spine pain through a multidisciplinary approach that may include physical therapy, interventional pain management, advanced imaging, and surgical treatment when needed. Care plans are tailored to each patient’s condition and long-term goals.
Can spine problems cause arm or leg pain?
Yes. Nerve compression in the spine can cause pain, tingling, or weakness that radiates into the arms or legs, depending on the area of the spine involved.
How long does recovery take after spine treatment or surgery?
Recovery timelines vary widely based on the condition and treatment approach. Some patients improve within weeks with conservative care, while surgical recovery may take several months and often includes structured rehabilitation.
Do I need a referral to see a spine specialist at OrthoTexas?
Referral requirements can vary by insurance plan. OrthoTexas staff can help patients understand their coverage and scheduling options when making an appointment.
