That’s because, in our experience, spine surgery is rarely necessary. In fact, the majority of our patients do very well with nonsurgical treatments.

With a firm commitment to practicing conservative orthopaedic medicine whenever possible, Teton Orthopaedics offers a wide range of nonsurgical treatment options for back pain, including customized physical therapy programs, medications, corticosteroid injections, ultrasound therapy, and other interventional pain management procedures. Each patient receives a personalized treatment plan that takes into account multiple individual factors. And, we understand that a patient’s needs can change over time, so we continually monitor each patient’s progress and fine-tune his or her treatment as necessary.

In rare cases that involve very severe or chronic symptoms that do not respond to conservative treatment, a back pain doctor at Teton Orthopaedics might recommend a surgical procedure, such as a discectomy, spinal fusion, facetectomy, laminectomy, or laminotomy. The spine surgeons at Teton Orthopaedics are highly skilled and experienced in performing the latest surgical techniques to help these patients, including minimally invasive, outpatient spine procedures.
