Back Pain Relief From Experts Who Want To Get You Back to Better Living

When your back hurts, it’s difficult to think about or do much else. Whether the problem is a mild annoyance or creating debilitating pain, Potomac Valley Orthopaedic Associates can identify the problem and help find solutions to end your suffering.

Experienced and Skilled Experts
Not only do our specialists have the advanced training and experience you need and deserve, they are caring physicians who want to provide you with the treatment and rehabilitation that will be most effective for you.

Personalized, Comprehensive, Prompt Care
We understand that each patient has unique needs and goals. We use various advanced diagnostic tools to get at the root cause of your problem and determine the best way to treat it. When possible, we try to use non-surgery strategies.

Non-surgical Treatment Options

  • Physical Therapy and Exercise
  • Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs
  • Corticosteroids (injections and medicine)
  • Bracing and Slings
  • Lifestyle Modification
  • Spinal Injections

If non-surgical treatments fail and surgery becomes necessary, we will recommend the safest, least invasive, most effective options available including outpatient spine surgery.
