Neurosurgeon & Spine Care in San Antonio, TX
Procedures & Solutions for
Neck Pain
Your Pain Is Real. We Find the Source.
Board-certified neurosurgeons diagnosing and treating cervical spine conditions — from herniated discs and nerve compression to complex surgical reconstruction.
Tired of being told “it's just aging” or “try rest”? We pinpoint what's causing your pain, then recommend the right care — from conservative treatment to advanced surgery.
From “Why Does It Hurt?” to a Plan That Fits You
Spine pain isn't one-size-fits-all, and neither is our care. Our team uses extensive training to evaluate, diagnose, and treat, from conservative care to complex surgery.
We Gather Your History
With your permission, we collect pertinent records from your referring providers so you don’t start from scratch.
A Thorough First Visit
Our PA team reviews your symptoms and completes a physical assessment. No MRI is needed first.
Testing to Find the Source
We order the studies that fill in the gaps, which may include imaging, nerve testing (EMG), bone density (DEXA), and physical therapy.
Support While You Wait
Based on what we know, our team may prescribe medications, pain injections, or physical therapy to help with immediate pain while results come in.
Surgeon Review & Your Options
Your surgeon reviews your findings with you and talks through your diagnosis, treatment options, and timelines, including conservative care.
Only if needed
If Surgery Is Recommended
We handle the details with you: cardiac clearance, insurance preauthorization, pre-surgical labs, bracing if needed, and planning for your needs after surgery. We also coordinate with other doctors and organizations so your care stays in network and on schedule.
A Plan Matched to You, and Decided With You
Treatment ranges from conservative options to complex surgery, depending on your diagnosis. When surgery is considered, your surgeon weighs the benefits against risks, including your overall health, other medical conditions, and body type, and talks it through with you at length. Most of our patients are not surgical candidates. You lead your own care, and we make sure you enter the process informed.
Nonsurgical Care
Physical therapy and medications to help manage pain and support function. Many patients choose to try these first and have us monitor how they respond over time.
In-Office Minimally Invasive Procedures
Procedures such as kyphoplasty and SI joint procedures, performed in our office when appropriate for your diagnosis.
Surgical Intervention
Recommended only when it is prudent. Unlike a joint replacement, spine surgery isn’t always corrective. Often the goal is to help prevent further nerve damage and loss of motor function.
