Back and Neck Pain

Care for Back and Neck Pain

If you have back or neck pain, you want the care that will give you the best chance for relief. Your primary care doctor or a physiatrist may be able to diagnose and treat less serious back problems. You could also be treated by a pain management specialist. For conditions that may require surgery, you can turn to one of our spine specialists at Lehigh Valley Health Network. Our spine specialists include orthopedic surgeons and neurosurgeons. These surgeons treat back and neck conditions and they perform some of the most advanced spinal surgeries available today. They will assess your condition, discuss your concerns and develop a treatment plan that’s right for you.
