South Carolina Spine Center

South Carolina Spine Center is a Spine Center of Excellence that emphasizes nonsurgical approaches t

Residents across South Carolina or North Carolina who suffer from an attack of back or neck pain often travel to many cities and clinics in their quest for relief of pain symptoms. Along the way, they can receive treatments, diagnostic studies, contradictory advice and treatment that is often way too aggressive for the symptoms they display. South Carolina Spine Center recognizes the national trend in spine care is to take a Center of Excellence approach, with a multidisciplinary team of spine specialists working together under one roof, emphasizing nonsurgical options. Our spine center located in Greenwood includes the expertise of a fellowship-trained and board-certified physical medicine and rehabilitation physician, Dr. Karl Boellert, and three fellowship-trained spine surgeons. Fellowship-training is the highest level of medical education possible. Within the same building are spine therapists who help many patients back to activity without surgery. All the necessary diagnostic testing from x-rays to MRI, and non-operative treatment is provided at the same location. This is a welcome alternative to the typical fragmented approach to spine care, and eliminates the need for multiple referrals, delayed care, driving around town — and confusion and miscommunication among the specialists involved.

Artificial disc surgery in the neck

There are a variety of FDA-approved artificial discs available for the neck. The spine surgeons at South Carolina Spine Center studied the array of artificial discs and now currently use Prestige LP disc for cervical artificial disc replacement. The Prestige disc is one of the first discs approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use at two levels in the neck. This can be of great benefit to those people with degenerative discs at more than one level in the neck and would otherwise need a fusion at the other level which in turn would restrict rotation. Not every patient is a candidate for an artificial disc, as the guidelines and indications are narrow. This can relate to the location of the disc in the neck, the extent of the disc herniation, as well as issues related to the patient.

A healthy disc acts like a shock absorber in between the bony vertebrae of the spine, enabling the spine to rotate. The disc itself resembles a jelly donut. If the disc is compressed or ruptures (from trauma or the stress of lifting something heavy) the jelly center, called the nucleus pulposus, can break through the wall of the disc. This disc nucleus can then press on nearby spinal nerves causing radiating pain and numbness. Herniated discs in the low back typically cause radiating pain or numbness or weakness in a leg or foot. Herniated discs in the neck conversely cause radiating pain or numbness or weakness into an arm or hand. These symptoms are called “neurological deficits” and signals that the herniated disc is pressing on a nerve root off the spinal cord. When a disc herniates, it’s important to understand that the surgeon cannot repair the disc wall. The surgeon instead removes the part of the disc that is pressing on a nearby nerve root. If the disc has been compressed, the surgeon must restore the disc space between the vertebrae by inserting a spacer between the two vertebrae.

We offer comprehensive surgical and nonsurgical treatments for patients with complex spinal disorders. Our nationally recognized team can treat even the most complex conditions using advanced techniques. The team pools together its expertise to develop the best treatment for each patient. After making a diagnosis, South Carolina Spine Center will often recommend a non-surgical approach to spinal treatment, including physical therapy, epidural steroid injections and analgesic. If non-surgical treatment proves unsuccessful, additional options include minimally invasive spinal surgery, which allows for a quick recovery time, or in some cases, complex spinal surgery may be required.

Home Remedy Book Request

We strongly emphasize a daily back or neck exercise program to prevent future recurrences of back problems. Research in sports medicine and spine care shows that a key part of the recovery and rehabilitation process involves exercise and movement. Some of the exercises shown can help relieve simple neck and back pain. Other exercises can also be effective at strengthening injury prevention.
