Neck and Back 

Treatment for Neck and Back Pain

Not every orthopedic practice has doctors who specialize in spine care, but at Associates in Orthopedics in Punta Gorda, Florida, Dr. Robert Hansell is fellowship trained in spine surgery. He diagnoses and treats all types of Neck pain, Back pain and spine disorders, including:

• Bulging and herniated dics
• Spinal stenosis
• Degenerative disc disease
• Scoliosis and congenital spine deformities
• Sciatica
• Whiplash
• Slipped vertebrae - Spondylolisthesis
• Stress fracture - Spondylolisthesis

To relieve your pain, our doctors will always try conservative treatments before resorting to surgery. However, if spine surgery is necessary, Dr. Hansell performs the latest, minimally-invasive procedures, such as:

• Spinal lumbar fusion
• Epidural injections for the Low back, Upper back, and neck
• Selective nerve root blocks
• Lumbar discectomy
• Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF)
• Kyphoplasty
• Laminectomy

Our goal is to help you become pain free so that you can get back to work or your favorite activities as soon as possible. If you suffer from back pain or neck pain and live in Punta Gorda or Port Charlotte, call our orthopedic surgeons at (941) 637-BONE (2663) or request an appointment online.
