Do you need to see a specialist?

Neck and back pain making things uncomfortable? Complete our Back and Neck Pain Assessment to see if it’s time to see a Norton Leatherman Spine provider.

Our specialists have decades of experience, specialized training and a worldwide reputation for providing excellent care. That means they have the skill to know which conditions can be treated with nonsurgical approaches and which can’t.

Nonsurgical treatments, such as anti-inflammatory medications, steroid injections, ice, heat, massage and physical therapy, can improve function and provide spine pain relief. Although these alternatives will not cure any spinal disease or condition, they can help relieve your symptoms.

If your condition requires surgery, we offer minimally invasive and robotic-assisted procedures that carry less risk and can speed your recovery. Norton Leatherman Spine surgeons are actively involved in the development of next-generation minimally invasive technologies.
