Your pain is complex, and we won’t stop until we get to the root of it. That means listening to your pain story and compiling a detailed, comprehensive history of what brought you here. Next, a thorough physical exam and analysis of applicable imaging help us understand the underlying causes of your pain.

From there, we present you with evidence-based treatment options ranging from interventional injections and medications to integrative therapies. We’ll use every tool available to bring you the relief you deserve. If it’s in your best interest, we may refer you to another surgeon, physician, or rheumatologist. We believe the best treatment for you is the one that fits your individual lifestyle. Our goal is for you to not need us anymore. Together, we’ll collaborate on your options and guide you to the right treatment options to alleviate your pain.

Thoracic Pain

Thoracic Pain

The thoracic spine refers to the middle and upper back regions. It joins the cervical spine (neck), extending down about 5 inches past the bottom of the shoulder blades, where it connects to the lumbar spine (lower back).

Made up of 12 vertebrae, the thoracic spine is designed for stability and plays an integral role in holding the body upright and protecting vital organs in the chest. The thoracic spine differs from the cervical and lumbar spine in a number of ways, most notably, its limited flexibility. The rib cage is attached to each level of the thoracic spine, providing rigidity and decreasing range of motion. Compared to the higher-mobile cervical and lumbar regions of the spine, problems like disc herniation are actually not as common in the thoracic spine.

Neck Pain

Neck Pain

The neck is a complex structure that is often the source of muscle soreness and tension. In fact, neck pain is a very common complaint among many of our Austin patients. Being the most flexible region of the spine, the neck can be more prone to injury from sports and accidents wherein the neck is overstretched or strained. However, neck pain can also arise from things like poor posture, sleeping wrong, stress and the natural aging process.
