State-of-the-Art Spine Care Offers Treatment Options for Back and Neck Problems
 Philip Schneider, MD |
Holy Cross Health offers expert diagnosis and treatment for patients with problems related to the spine, including back and neck pain. The spine care programs at Holy Cross Hospital and Holy Cross Germantown Hospital feature the latest technology to pinpoint problems. While our team approach to care strives to find non-surgical approaches to treatment whenever possible, Holy Cross Health offers significant expertise in minimally invasive surgical procedures for back and neck injury and illness. Follow-up support is also part of the services offered, helping patients return to their normal activities as quickly as possible.
Full Range of Care
Our team of specialists is dedicated to helping patients throughout diagnosis, treatment and recovery. We focus on patients with spine problems, from chronic spine pain and disorders such as scoliosis and spinal stenosis, to patients with serious spinal damage, such as injury to the lumbar or cervical spinal cord.
Team Approach
The team strives to find the best treatment for each patient. This may include medical approaches to relieve pain such as medication or physical therapy, or minimally invasive surgery.
Access to Resources
Holy Cross Health offers spine patients a full range of resources, such as home care services including skilled nursing and physical and occupational therapy, pain management and a range of community fitness programs for people of all ages.
Surgical Leadership
The spine care team also is actively involved in training surgeons from across the world in the latest back and neck surgery techniques, and we are continuously conducting research to help find better ways to decrease infections of the spine and improve surgical results.
