We are committed to improving the quality of life of our patients through compassionate, evidence-based pain management, one patient at a time.
Every plan starts with a thorough evaluation. We begin with the least invasive options and move forward only when you need more.
After a thorough evaluation of your pain, GPSS physicians decide which conservative therapies may help. Conservative therapy is a non-surgical, non-invasive approach to relieving acute and chronic pain. It may include medications, chiropractic care, physical therapy, acupuncture, massage therapy, a TENS unit, braces and more.
Interventional therapy uses minimally invasive procedures and special imaging technology to pinpoint the source of pain and deliver medicine directly to it: muscles, nerves, joints or intervertebral discs. Our offices have state-of-the-art equipment and procedure rooms for injections and minimally invasive procedures.
When conservative and interventional therapies are not working, GPSS physicians draw on an extensive network of surgical colleagues across Georgia, in every specialty, to evaluate whether your pain needs surgical treatment.
Georgia Pain and Spine Solutions was founded on the premise of using the most advanced, quality-driven and thorough approaches to treating people with acute, chronic and cancer-related pain.
We offer everything from thorough new patient evaluations and accurate diagnosis, to medication management, to image-guided minimally invasive procedures. We coordinate your full care, including conservative care, mental health and specialty referrals. Other recommendations may include massage therapy, acupuncture, yoga and home exercise programs.
Georgia Pain and Spine Solutions is a dedicated team of physicians, technicians, nurses and medical assistants who have come together to give you high-quality medical care. We are patient-oriented and committed to personalized pain rehabilitation and health care.
