Dr. Smith Specializes In:
Pain
Chronic neck and/or back pain interferes with every part of your life. Pain medication and exercise can only do so much. We can help. Our goal is to resolve your pain so that you can return to your previous life with less medication, fewer restrictions and more confidence.
Failed Spinal Fusion
Over the past several years, great advances have been made in the field of spine surgery. Minimally invasive techniques, biological materials and novel implants have all made surgery easier and more effective. Unfortunately, many doctors still treat patients using outdated fusion techniques that provide poor outcomes. Failure to perform the correct procedure, performing it poorly, or failure to heal can all lead to chronic and unrelenting pain. All too often the operating surgeon dismisses these patients to a pain doctor where their problems are unlikely to be resolved. That is why it's called pain management.
Dr. Scott Smith has over 25 years of experience treating complex spinal disorders, with a specialization in failed back surgery syndrome. If you've endured a spinal fusion, and find yourself still in pain, call us. Dr. Smith offers treatments that may provide relief, even if you've been told that you're out of options. To schedule a consultation regarding your failed spinal fusion, please call or request an appointment online.
Post Laminectomy Syndrome
Continuing to experience back or leg pain following a laminectomy is very discouraging. In order to be successful, the procedure must be performed thoroughly and completely. This is not always done. Residual pain can be caused by inadequate decompression or due to additional unaddressed pathology.
Dr. Smith understands this problem. Even if you've been told that there's no hope for improvement, Dr. Smith may provide a viable treatment plan to make you better. To schedule a consultation and explore your options for relief, please call or request an appointment with Dr. Smith today.

Pain Management

If you share this goal, we invite you to contact us and make an appointment to explore your options for effective pain relief.
