The Spine Center
OrthoNC is proud to provide sub-specialty operative and non-operative care of all spine conditions. With the creation of THE SPINE CENTER, we can provide a comprehensive array of services dedicated to the treatment of the spine.
Our personable staff members have specialized training and extensive experience in treating the entire scope of spine conditions and provide conservative, interventional, and surgical treatment in a warm and welcoming environment.
Our providers have experience in treating every type of spine disorder. Their focus is on providing compassionate care to reduce a patient’s pain and to restore maximal function with the least invasive treatment possible.
Nonsurgical Treatment Options
OrthoNC’s spine team seeks to provide excellent care that emphasizes accurate diagnosis and the least invasive treatments available. Dr. Derek Watson is a board certified Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) specialist whose patients benefit from evidence-based nonsurgical treatment plans that reduce pain, restore function, and maximize quality of life. These treatments often include a combination of preventative measures, medications, home exercises, physical therapy, and precision guided injections.
Spine Surgical Treatment Options
While OrthoNC’s spine team emphasizes a preventative and conservative approach to spine care, there are some conditions that are best treated by surgery. When surgery is appropriate, Dr. Adedayo Ashana, a fellowship-trained spine surgeon, will develop a comprehensive treatment plan.
Dr. Ashana is skilled in minimally invasive techniques that reduce postsurgical pain, shorten your recovery time, and provide the best possible surgical outcome.
Choosing the best surgery for you
Often, there is more than one surgical approach available to treat a particular condition. Our providers will fully explain all of the surgical options and the pros and cons of each approach. Together, you and Dr. Ashana will make an informed decision about which surgical approach is best for you.
