Non-Surgical Treatments

Start With the Least-Invasive Options

Most patients improve without surgery. Our team takes a conservative-first approach with treatments designed to reduce pain, improve strength, and prevent future flare-ups.

Non-Surgical Spine, Neck & Back Treatments

  • Physical Therapy Our specialized spine physical therapists use targeted exercises and manual techniques to decompress your spine naturally. Treatment focuses on strengthening core muscles, improving flexibility, and reducing pressure on affected discs and nerves.
    • Spinal stabilization exercises
    • Manual decompression techniques
  • Epidural Steroid Injections Precisely guided injections deliver anti-inflammatory medication directly to the affected area. This approach provides targeted pain relief while reducing inflammation around compressed nerves.
    • Image-guided precision placement
    • Outpatient procedure with minimal downtime
  • Spinal Decompression Therapy Non-surgical spinal decompression uses computer-controlled traction to gently stretch the spine. This treatment creates negative pressure within spinal discs, promoting healing and reducing nerve compression.
    • Computer-controlled precision
    • Comfortable, relaxing treatment sessions
  • Pain Management Techniques Our pain management specialists offer comprehensive approaches including nerve blocks, radiofrequency ablation, and medication management. These treatments work to interrupt pain signals and provide lasting relief.
    • Nerve block procedures
    • Radiofrequency ablation therapy
  • Chiropractic Care Gentle spinal adjustments and mobilization techniques help restore proper alignment and reduce pressure on compressed structures. Our chiropractors work as part of your comprehensive treatment team.
    • Gentle spinal adjustments
    • Soft tissue mobilization

Surgical Spine, Neck & Back Procedures

  • Minimally Invasive Discectomy This advanced procedure removes herniated disc material through a small incision, preserving healthy tissue. Most patients experience immediate relief from nerve compression with faster recovery than traditional surgery.
  • Laminectomy Surgical removal of bone or tissue causing spinal stenosis creates more space for nerves and spinal cord. This procedure effectively relieves pressure while maintaining spinal stability.
  • Spinal Fusion For severe instability or degeneration, spinal fusion permanently connects affected vertebrae. Modern techniques minimize tissue disruption while providing long-term stability and pain relief.
  • Artificial Disc Replacement This innovative procedure replaces damaged discs with artificial devices that maintain natural spine movement. Patients benefit from pain relief while preserving flexibility and range of motion.

Over 92% of our spine surgery patients report significant pain improvement and return to normal activities within 6-8 weeks.

What Patients Say

SP
My father had spine surgery with Dr. Munk and was happy with the results. Dr Munk has always been very helpful, courteous and compassionate towards both my father and myself. These reviews must be a small handful out of 1000's. I'm in need of shoulder surgery myself now and if Dr. Munk could do, I wouldn't hesitate for a moment. He's a wonderful doctor. My father thinks he's a rock star!

Mendelson Kornblum has the best doctors and staff. They have same day appointments for serious injuries. I definitely recommend them to friends and family. Dr. Mulawa is the best! Spends quality time with me reviewing different treatments. Never long wait times and super friendly staff. Dr. Munk is the best orthopedic surgeon around. He makes you feel comfortable and spends time answering questions regarding any surgical procedures.

I've been to Dr. Kornblum for lower back surgery and Dr. Munk for SI Joint surgeries and I've always been treated very well. Both were very professional and up front about everything that I was dealing with, and what to expect. No false hope. But most of all, they were both very easy to talk to about any concerns that I had. I'm very grateful that they were able to help me the way they did. I've never had any issues with Mendelson/Kornblum in Livonia. Whether it's billing, appointments or checking in, or anything else, everyone's been friendly and helpful.
