CoastalSpine - a regional center specializing in back and neck problems

Four out of five Americans will have an attack of back pain during their lifetime. Many people are doomed to a life of endless visits to the back doctor. That is because once you have your first back pain attack, you are four times as likely to have a recurrence.

CoastalSpine currently acts as a regional center of excellence for back and neck problems. We receive the most complex cases of back and neck pain from across the state of New Jersey

Just what the doctor ordered—a nonsurgical approach to back and neck pain
What makes this spine center unique is its emphasis on a nonsurgical approach to back and neck problems. The spine center is directed by specialists in physical medicine and rehabilitation (also called physiatrists) as well as spine surgeons. These physicians have advanced training in back and neck pain and often are successful in helping people return to activity nonsurgically. CoastalSpine is the only spine center in the state of New Jersey to put spine-specialized orthopedic surgeons and spine neurosurgeons together under one roof with all the other nonsurgical disciplines for treatment of back and neck pain.

If your back or neck problem requires surgery, the surgeons at CoastalSpine already receive the area's most complex surgical cases and are proficient in minimally invasive techniques. These cases include herniated discs, spinal fractures, spinal deformity, spinal tumor and scoliosis. These fellowship-trained spine surgeons use the most advanced instrumentation and spine surgery techniques.

CoastalSpine is able to take care of any type of back or neck problem, from the simple back or neck strain all the way to the most complex spine surgery involving surgical instrumentation.

CoastalSpine is a multidisciplinary spine center of excellence. It includes a physical medicine and rehabilitation physician dedicated to nonsurgical management of spine and joint problems, along with spine surgeons who are fellowship-trained in spine. We provide all the necessary diagnostic testing, and nonoperative treatment in one place, under one roof, eliminating the need for multiple referrals, delayed care and overall confusion.

Onsite diagnostic testing includes X-ray and EMG-NCS. Treatment areas include physical therapy, a rehabilitation facility and an injection suite.
