Spinal Surgery
If back and neck pain are impacting your quality of life, the MaineGeneral Spine Program can help.
Our skilled, compassionate staff provide high-quality care for patients with spine disorders.
Dr. Stephen Clark, spine surgeon at MaineGeneral Orthopaedics, talks about the services he provides:
Services include:
- Evaluation and diagnosis of the cause of your spine problem
- Designing a treatment plan tailored to your individual needs and lifestyle
- Connecting you to the right health care professionals at the right time to provide treatment. Our expert team of specialists helps you take care of your spine so you can get back to living as actively and pain-free as possible.
While spine surgery can be an effective treatment option for back and neck pain, it's not right for every person. Unless the spine problem is so severe that surgery is the only option, we always try nonsurgical treatment options first.
