The physician team at New Mexico Spine emphasizes a conservative, non-surgical approach to dealing with back pain. Combining the skills of two spinal surgeons and four physiatrists allows the group to achieve the best possible treatment outcomes. In 2007, the doctors of New Mexico Spine were individually and collectively recognized by the NCQA (National Committee for Quality Assurance) for providing excellent care for low back pain. By using a conservative and standardized approach to treatment coupled with a respect for the unique conditions and goals of each patient, New Mexico Spine saves its patients time, money, and unnecessary discomfort. Our doctors use a blend of diagnostic and imaging procedures, physical therapy, educational materials, spinal injections and spinal surgery in caring for patients. All of these treatment options and physicians are located under a single roof.
