NeuroHealth Institute centers
We offer an experienced multidisciplinary care team focused on the highest standards of patient care, outcomes and experience.
Center for Spine Health
At Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Lakeway, we are proud to have earned Advanced Spine Certification from DNV, a distinction that underscores our commitment to delivering exceptional care for musculoskeletal spine and lower back conditions. This certification is a testament to the dedication and expertise behind our spine program and reflects our ongoing efforts to prioritize patient safety, clinical excellence and optimal outcomes.
The spine plays a critical role in virtually every movement the body makes. Whether due to injury, illness, or the natural aging process, spinal issues can lead to significant discomfort and reduced mobility. At the NeuroHealth Institute Center for Spine Health, we are committed to identifying the root cause of spinal concerns and developing personalized treatment plans to help patients regain function and quality of life.
Our operating rooms are equipped with advanced imaging technology, providing surgeons with real-time images during a procedure. This technology may help enhance patient safety and outcomes by helping surgeons place implants more precisely, remove tissue and adjust anatomy inside the body during surgery.
Treating spine conditions
There are many different treatment approaches to address spine conditions. The Center for Spine Health focuses on finding the right diagnosis and then working with each patient to understand their goals, concerns and preferences. Our team then develops a personalized plan to help patients achieve their goals.
Non-surgical treatment: When possible, we use non-surgical options, including physical therapy, medications, chiropractic care and injections, among other conservative therapies.
Surgical treatment: In addition to a wide range of minimally invasive procedures, we also offer our Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program designed to minimize time in the hospital and potential complications while speeding up the recovery process.
