At Ocean Spine, we take a comprehensive and individualized approach to spine care. Treatment begins with the least invasive options and progresses to more advanced interventions only when necessary.
Our goal is to relieve pain, restore function, and help patients return to their normal activities as safely and efficiently as possible.
NON-SURGICAL CARE
Many spine conditions can be effectively managed without surgery. Treatment typically begins with conservative therapies and progresses to more targeted, image-guided options when needed.
First-Line Conservative Treatments
These therapies are often the initial step in treatment and may provide meaningful relief:
- Physical Therapy
- Chiropractic Care
- Massage Therapy
- Acupuncture
- Medications (NSAIDs, muscle relaxants, etc.)
- Activity Modification & Ergonomic Guidance
- Home Exercise Programs
Advanced Non-Surgical Treatments
When symptoms persist despite initial conservative care, more targeted treatments may be recommended.
Spine Injections
Spine injections are minimally invasive, image-guided procedures that can help reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and assist in identifying the source of symptoms.
While these procedures are not performed in our office, we work closely with trusted pain management specialists and can coordinate referrals to ensure patients receive appropriate, high-quality care.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
A regenerative treatment that uses the body’s own healing factors to support tissue healing and reduce inflammation.
Our Approach
We prioritize non-surgical care whenever appropriate. These treatments are often highly effective and may help patients avoid or delay the need for surgery.
SURGICAL TREATMENTS
When conservative treatments are no longer effective, surgical intervention may be considered. All procedures are carefully selected based on the patient’s specific condition, symptoms, and goals.
