Our Team

Spine specialists and surgeons who care for patients in the Greater Boston area

The doctors at Newton-Wellesley Hospital’s Spine Center approach spine care as a team. Communication and coordination are at the center of everything we do. Our doctors discuss and evaluate each patient’s progress on a weekly basis, and each of our spine specialists offers his or her expertise through this team approach.

Each of our team members is skilled in providing the latest, most advanced treatments in his or her area of specialization, with years of training, specialty credentials, and expertise in spine care. Some of the specialists involved in our spine care include:

  • Anesthesiologists, who use spinal injections, nerve blocks, acupuncture, and other procedures to diagnose and treat spine pain
  • Neurologists, who evaluate and manage pain, numbness, and weakness that involves the spinal cord or its nerve roots
  • Neurosurgeons, who perform many surgical procedures relating to spine care, such as spine fusion, treatment of spinal trauma, disc microsurgery, and others
  • Orthopedic spine surgeons, who have specialized fellowship training in spine surgery and treat all conditions of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine with an emphasis on minimally invasive techniques
  • Physiatrists, also known as physical medicine and rehabilitation physicians, who are medical doctors with specialized training in the evaluation and nonsurgical treatment of spinal disorders
  • Physical therapists, who work with patients to develop and carry out therapeutic exercise programs, joint mobilization and manipulation, and other treatments
  • Psychiatrists and psychologists, who evaluate and treat areas of stress that can cause back pain or make it worse
  • Radiologists, who use MRIs and spine CT scans to help diagnose and treat spinal conditions
  • Rheumatologists, who specialize in managing arthritis, which can cause spinal pain in some cases
  • Additional specialists, such as endocrinologists, nutritionists, specialists in surgical weight management, thoracic surgeons, and vascular surgeons.
