For many patients struggling with chronic pain, injections to the spine can make a significant difference in their quality of life without a need for surgery.

As a proven solution for pain due to migraines and other conditions, nerve blocks can help address pain in a particular cluster of nerves.

Spinal cord stimulators can offer a minimally-invasive, non-pharmaceutical alternative to other forms of pain management.

Using Tenex Health TX technology, the Physicians can safely remove problematic tendon tissue without the need for invasive surgery.

The Physicians Spine and Rehabilitation Specialists is proud to serve patients at the Rizor Institute, a comprehensive inpatient rehabilitation program for the treatment of high impact chronic pain. As a response to the ongoing opioid epidemic, this program provides local, residential treatment for injured workers that will help recover, restore function, and control pain while decreasing reliance on opioids and medical interventions. At the Rizor Institute, our team of physicians, nurses, physical and occupational therapists, and cognitive-behavioral therapists work together at our facility in Suwanee, GA to address the opioid epidemic on a local level, and to provide an individualized, multidisciplinary program that will reduce the need for medications and facilitate the opportunity to return to work and to life.

If you’ve been injured at the workplace, you deserve to receive the compensation you need to make a full recovery and return to the job safely and with confidence. At The Physicians Spine & Rehabilitation Specialists, we proudly provide workers’ compensation referrals to patients who are struggling with chronic pain as a result of a work-related injury. We’re happy to help you through the process of filing a workers’compensation claim, and we’ll work with you to restore your body to full function
