About Quincy Spine Center

What makes Quincy Spine Center different from other spine treatment centers is its nonsurgical approach to back and neck problems.

For the convenience of the back and neck pain sufferer, we have located in one building a board-certified physical medicine specialist with expertise in spinal injections; an internal injection suite for pain-relieving spinal injections; a team of affiliated physical therapists with an exercise gym. Our treatment philosophy is to exhaust non-surgical treatment options for those with back and neck pain so they can avoid spine surgery. If we determine that spine surgery is appropriate, we have close relationships with fellowship-trained spine surgeons who use a minimally invasive spine surgery approach and artificial disc technology for those who meet selection criteria. We are a regional resource for chiropractors and family practice physicians from across the Quincy region, and those back pain sufferers who live in South Boston, South Shore, Braintree, Milton, Dedham, Brockton and all across Southeastern Massachusetts.

Quincy Spine Center is typically able to determine the cause of back and neck pain and provide non-surgical treatment options that can help the patient avoid an unnecessary spine surgery. Our goal with Quincy Spine Center is to continually improve how we care for back and neck problems. We are committed to this goal, as evidenced by the following:

• We have significant expertise in non-surgical management of spine problems, from diagnostics and injection therapy. This includes an internal injection suite that enables the patient to have their pain-relieving spinal injection without the red tape and hassle involved with a hospital or ambulatory surgery center.
• In the same building a team of physical therapists have an exercise gym where our patients can receive customized stretches and home exercise programs for their back pain or neck pain. These stretches help create a stronger, more flexible back which in turn prevents future strain and attacks of back or neck pain.
• We take the time to educate patients so they understand the cause of their back or neck problem and how best to relieve symptoms.
• We can be especially helpful to worker's compensation patients who have injured themselves on the job, as we provide an unbiased assessment of their problem, and help them return to activity and their job.
• We work closely with your chiropractor or family practice physician to develop a treatment plan that reduces the risk of a future back pain attack.
