BACK AND NECK INJURIES

At Dominion Orthopaedic Clinic, we offer a wide range of services, including non- surgical spine care. Our board certified on staff Physiatrist, Dr. Nicole E. Forsythe, specializes in physical medicine and rehabilitation, including non-invasive treatments of spine disorders and injuries. Dr. Forsythe has specialty fellowship training in physical medicine and rehabilitation and detailed experience with non-invasive back and neck procedures.

We are here to treat your acute back and neck pain caused by injury as well as more chronic and long-term pain. Back and neck injuries can cause pain that affects your quality of life, and we want to help you alleviate this pain and get back to the lifestyle you enjoy.

Our physicians will take into account your symptoms, diagnostic tests, and pain level and then determine which treatment is appropriate for your back or neck injury. Spinal injections, such as epidural and facet joint injections, are some of the most common non-invasive treatments offered for these types of injuries. These injections are conservative alternatives to invasive back surgery and provide pain relief to get you on the way to recovery. All injections are fluoroscopically guided and performed in a surgery center. We make sure you are informed of your treatment, and treated with great compassion before, during, and after your procedure. Our priority is our patient being comfortable and well cared for.
