Traverse Mountain Joint, Spine & Pain Specialists

Our care

The least invasive thing that works.

Whenever appropriate, we begin with the least invasive treatment options before considering more advanced interventions — meaningful relief, without unnecessary procedures.

What we treat

If it hurts, it has a cause.

Pain is a symptom, not a diagnosis. The work starts by finding what is actually driving it.

Spine

  • Neck pain
  • Mid-back pain
  • Low back pain
  • Herniated discs
  • Spinal stenosis
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Facet joint pain
  • Sacroiliac (SI) joint pain
  • Sciatica
  • Radiculopathy

Joints

  • Arthritis and joint pain
  • Knee pain
  • Hip pain
  • Shoulder pain

Nerve & muscle

  • Neuropathy (nerve pain)
  • Chronic musculoskeletal pain
  • Myofascial pain

Injury & recovery

  • Work-related injuries
  • Motor vehicle accident injuries

Not seeing yours? Pain that does not fit a tidy label is still worth evaluating — reach out and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right practice for it.

What we do

3 steps. Most people never reach the last.

Every step is a decision made with you, not for you. Which options are appropriate depends entirely on your diagnosis — nothing here is a recommendation until you have been evaluated.

  1. 01

    Diagnostic services

    Finding the cause before treating the symptom.

    • Comprehensive pain evaluations
    • Physical examinations
    • Review of MRI, CT, and X-ray imaging
    • Neurological assessments
    • Functional assessments
    • Personalized treatment planning
  2. 02

    Non-surgical treatment

    The conservative first line, and often the only line needed.

    • Medication management (when appropriate)
    • Non-opioid pain management
    • Anti-inflammatory treatment plans
    • Lifestyle and activity modification
    • Home exercise recommendations
    • Coordination with physical therapy
    • Patient education
  3. 03

    Interventional procedures

    Targeted, image-appropriate procedures when conservative care is not enough.

    • Trigger point injections

Coordination of care

You should not have to be the courier.

Pain care rarely happens in one office. We work directly with the rest of your care team so the plan stays joined up.

  • Primary care physicians
  • Orthopedic surgeons
  • Neurosurgeons
  • Physical therapists
  • Chiropractors
  • Imaging centers
  • Mental health professionals (when appropriate)

Start with an evaluation, not a procedure.
