Dr. Berg’s Patient Journey Explained

Life with debilitating pain. 

Pain can take away your ability to do the things you love. Activities that were once enjoyable, like playing with your kids or going for a walk, suddenly become impossible. If you’re living with chronic pain, you know how much it can impact your quality of life. That’s why our team is dedicated to relieving all causes of pain.

Goals

At our office, the patient journey starts with a conversation about the patient’s goals. We understand that treatment is not only about relieving pain. It is about getting back to the activities that bring us joy and make life worth living.

Personalized treatment plan

Once the goals are established, our team works with the patient to develop a personalized treatment plan. This may include a combination of therapies such as physical therapy, medication management, or minimally invasive procedures. We take the time to explain each option and help patients make informed decisions about their care.

Throughout the treatment process, our team keeps the end goal in mind. We remind the patients of what they are working towards and encourage them to stay motivated. This personalized approach to care sets our practice apart from others.

Chronic pain

One of the main goals of treatment is to manage or alleviate taxing pain. Chronic pain can be caused by several factors, like arthritis, sciatica, or herniated discs. We have extensive experience in treating a wide range of spinal conditions and providing patients with effective pain management strategies.

Minimally invasive procedures

Patients with spinal conditions that have not responded to non-surgical treatments may need minimally invasive procedures. These can include spinal injections or nerve blocks.

These procedures can offer long-term pain relief and are done in an outpatient setting, so patients can go home on the same day.

Surgery techniques

In cases where surgery is necessary, we offer the latest techniques in spinal surgery. We may recommend artificial disc replacement surgery for certain conditions, meaning that we replace a damaged or degenerated disc with an artificial one. This innovative approach to spinal surgery can preserve mobility and improve outcomes for patients.

Patient-centered care

Our team is committed to providing compassionate patient care. Living with chronic pain can be overwhelming. We provide support through every aspect of the journey.
