Treatment Options For Spine Conditions
Spine pain can significantly affect mobility, posture, nerve function, and overall quality of life. At Centeno-Schultz Clinic, we use an interventional orthopedics approach to evaluate and treat spine conditions by focusing on the underlying structural source of pain rather than simply managing symptoms.
Our clinic offers a range of image-guided and regenerative treatment options tailored to your diagnosis and severity of symptoms. These customized treatment plans use detailed diagnostics and minimally invasive, non-surgical procedures designed to support spinal stability, disc health, and function, with each plan based on a detailed clinical evaluation and imaging review.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my spine pain is coming from a disc, nerve, or joint issue?
Spine pain can originate from several structures, and symptoms often overlap. A detailed evaluation with imaging review and physical examination helps identify the most likely source of pain.
What experience do your doctors have in treating spine conditions?
Our physicians are board-certified and fellowship-trained in interventional orthopedics and regenerative medicine, with extensive experience in diagnosing and treating complex spine conditions using image-guided techniques.
What happens if my condition has already been labeled as surgical elsewhere?
Even if surgery has been recommended, some patients are re-evaluated to determine whether non-surgical or interventional options may still be appropriate based on a detailed diagnostic assessment.
How much does spine treatment cost, and is it covered by insurance?
Costs vary depending on your diagnosis and the recommended treatment plan, which is determined after your evaluation. Our team will review your insurance benefits and provide a clear cost estimate before moving forward with treatment.
Will I need new imaging before starting treatment?
Not always. Existing MRI, CT, or X-ray imaging is reviewed first. Additional imaging is only recommended if needed for a more precise diagnosis.
How long does it take to understand my diagnosis and treatment options?
Most patients receive a clear explanation of findings and next-step recommendations during their initial consultation.
