| Statistics reveal that back pain will strike four out
of five Americans during their lifetime. Once a back attack hits, you
are four times more likely to have a recurrence. No wonder so many
people wander chronically in and out of doctors' offices and have enough
pain pills in their medicine cabinets to rival the supply of a pharmacy.
If you have a back or neck pain, no matter how complex, we can help
you. |

Overview
North Jersey Spine Group is a new regional center specializing in back
and neck problems. It currently receives some of the most complex
cases of back and neck pain from across the state. North Jersey Spine
Group is able to care for any type of back or neck problem, from
the simple back or neck strain all the way to the most complex spine
surgery.
How we're unique
What makes North Jersey Spine Group different from other treatment
centers is its nonsurgical approach to back and neck problems. Most
spine treatment centers are directed by surgeons who favor the use
of spine surgery. At North Jersey Spine Group, however, our multifaceted
team takes all factors into consideration before mapping out a treatment
plan. These physicians have advanced training in the treatment of
back and neck pain and are successful in helping people return to
activity – without surgery.
North Jersey Spine Group takes a multidisciplinary, team
approach to spine care, involving both surgical and nonsurgical spine
physicians. This team of professionals pools together its expertise
to develop the best treatment for each patient. We provide all the
necessary diagnostic testing and treatment in one place, eliminating
the need for multiple referrals, delayed care and overall confusion.
If surgery is needed
Sometimes surgery is the best treatment option, especially for those
suffering from herniated discs, spinal fractures, spinal deformities,
spinal tumors and scoliosis. However, it is estimated that over half
of back surgeries performed are unnecessary, and in some cases, even
counterproductive. At North Jersey Spine Group, surgery is used as
a treatment option only after nonsurgical treatments have been tried.
When surgery is the answer, North Jersey Spine Group surgeons are
highly trained and proficient in the latest minimally invasive techniques
for spine surgery. They are also among the first in the nation to
implement the use of the artificial disc as an alternative to traditional
fusion surgery.
Patient education
The North Jersey Spine Group team strongly believes in educating patients
to make informed decisions about their medical care. As a free community
service, North Jersey Spine Group has a full-time RN who provides
medical advice and general information on back and neck pain. We
also send out our home remedy book for free.
We have learned from experience that the best way to
treat back pain is before it happens, by educating people on ways to
lower the risk of a future back pain attack. This educational Web site
demonstrates our commitment to this goal. We hope you find it helpful
and informative.
