ABOUT US
Today an entire medical field dedicated to researching, developing and treating spine pain with high tech devices and procedures-- Interventional Spine Medicine, exists. Open-back surgeries, scalpels, hardware, long hospital stays and painful recoveries are ancient history. The new out-patient procedures to relieve spine pain are often a breeze and have little risk. In many cases, the hardest part of the treatment is skipping breakfast on procedure day.
If you have back pain (or know someone who does) check out some of today's high-tech relief options below:

Dr. Johnson opened the University Spine Institute on March 1, 2011. He says,
About six years ago, seventy-seven of the best doctors in this area got together to build a medical center of excellence in Murrieta. We all knew patients who drove an hour to get even basic medical care. So we began the project and the good people at the City of Murrieta were delighted with our idea.
The following year, the doctors partnered with Loma Linda University Medical Center (LLUMC) to build a top notch medical facility, right here in Murrieta. People don't have to drive an hour to get quality treatment anymore. The best care is now in town. Dr. Johnson is proud The University Spine Institute is on the new 50 acre, LLUMC-Murrieta campus. He says,
We've put together a great team of specialists. We use the newest technology here. Our staff is helpful and friendly. It's wonderful to be able to offer patients all this in our home town.
