Spine & Back

Get treatment for back pain and spine injuries at Barton Health. Our offices in Lake Tahoe and the Carson Valley establish an accurate diagnosis quickly and develop a plan of care that fits the needs of each patient suffering from a back injury or pain.

Backs and spines are vulnerable to injury because they have the difficult job of being flexible enough to move, but strong enough to take enormous stress, and every back injury is unique.

It is our practice to exhaust every appropriate treatment option before considering surgery. However, when a problem is not corrected with prescribed rest, exercise, conditioning programs, or physical therapy, further diagnostic testing may be employed to precisely identify the key factors causing the patient's discomfort.
