Here at Saadat Spine we specialize in spinal care in Orange County. We treat patients who suffer from back or neck pain, which often results from nerve or spinal cord compression, and which produces pain down the arms or legs.
We treat every patient with a personalized approach. Most spinal problems can be effectively treated without surgery, using specialized physical therapy and pain management techniques.
For those patients who require surgery, we use minimally invasive approaches that leverage the latest technology and enable our patients to return to doing the things they love as quickly and completely as possible.
