When to seek care

If back is limiting your activity, lingering for more than a couple of weeks, waking you at night, or causing swelling or instability, it's worth a proper evaluation. Early, accurate assessment often opens up more — and less invasive — options.

How we evaluate it

Your visit begins with an in-office evaluation, with imaging — ultrasound or fluoroscopy — when it's needed, so we can see the area clearly. Occasionally we'll arrange additional imaging elsewhere. From there, Derek builds a personalized, honest plan — and walks you through the options for your situation.

Non-surgical options we may consider

• Non-surgical spinal decompression — gentle, targeted relief
• Image-guided injections — precise, when appropriate
• Regenerative options — for selected soft-tissue pain
• Activity & maintenance planning — to prevent recurrence

Keeping you active

For golfers, pickleball and tennis players, boaters, and active retirees, the goal isn't just less pain — it's getting back to the life you love and staying there. That's the heart of how we plan your care.
