Riverside Spine’s Mission Statement
Testimonials - What Our Patients are Saying
Laura S.
"My family doctor referred me to Riverside Spine because I had been requiring increasing doses of pain medications. These were causing side effects such as constipation and sleepiness. By finding specific things on my X-Rays, the doctors were able to target my pain problem with small needles and nearly painless procedures. Now, I am on much less medication and feeling better than I have in a long time".
Steve L.
"I have a busy and stressful job, with lots of time in the car. I had let my strength and flexibility get worse over the years, and probably had gained a few pounds, too! My Riverside Spine doctor started by recommending physical therapy and some mild medications. Now, I have only a small area of my hip that hurts from an old high-school football injury. He gave me a pain shot for the hip, and I have been able to progress into a home exercise program."
Michelle S.
"When my family visits, it's hard for me to keep the house clean, do the cooking and play with the grandkids the way I used to. I was starting to feel so old! A friend recommended Riverside Spine. They did a complete review of all my medical records, a complete physical examination, and ordered labs and an MRI. Now I finally know what is causing my pain, and we've started a treatment program so that I can get going again!"
Carrie J.
"Ever since my car accident, which wasn't even my fault, I've been suffering with neck pain and headaches. The first 6 months was spent travelling to different doctors, trying different therapies, and I still had no real diagnosis and no relief. At my first Riverside Spine visit, my doctor made my diagnosis and laid out a treatment plan which included specialized injections to the neck and shoulders. I am so happy I finally found someone to help."
Tom S.
"My golf game has been suffering from the aches and shooting pains that I thought were just part of getting old. My family doctor sent me to a neurosurgeon, who then referred me to Riverside Spine for injections in hopes of avoiding surgery. I was amazed that there are anesthesia doctors specially trained in the diagnosis and therapy of pain coming from the spine. I have a very slight herniated disc in my low back, and after two epidurals my pain down the leg is completely gone. Now I play golf pain-free!"
Our Philosophy
Riverside Spine addresses all the physical and emotional needs of our patients on an ongoing basis. Each new patient undergoes a comprehensive pain management evaluation that includes the development of a detailed treatment plan. We provide high-quality individualized care by thoroughly educating our patients and communicating effectively with other physicians.
All physicians at Riverside Spine are fellowship-trained and board certified in pain medicine. You will appreciate their experience, clinical skills and expertise. Our physicians use a combination of interventional treatments, physical therapy, medications and appropriate specialty referrals to improve even the most complex pain disorders. Interventional pain therapies improve quality of life, reduce medication requirements and often prevent the need for future surgery.
Fluoroscopy (low dose X-ray) increase the accuracy of minimally invasive pain procedures and is essential to the practice of high-quality interventional pain medicine. Riverside Spine routinely uses the latest therapeutic technologies, including fluoroscopy, to ensure the safety and comfort of our patients.
