NEUROLOGICAL SPINE and PAIN
EEL BETTER. LIVE BETTER.” THAT’S THE MOTTO AT NEU-
ROLOGICAL SPINE AND PAIN IN SAVANNAH. DRS. PRISCIL-
LA J. ROSS AND CHRIS PATEL put all of their efforts into helping
patients get back to life. They understand that pain, whether it’s due to
a chronic pain issue or a new injury, can feel like an anchor weighing
you down and holding you back. Their goal is to get patients back to leading happier
and healthier lives and they don’t look for a quick fix. They treat patients like they
would their own family members and are diligent in forming lasting relationships
with them.
When a new patient walks through the doors, they are met by a team of compas-
sionate and dedicated physicians. A comprehensive evaluation to diagnose pain
conditions will be conducted and then a customized treatment plan will be mapped
out. Neurological Spine and Pain believes it’s about a team approach and wants
patients to know they don’t have to suffer alone. As part of a team, patients will
work with doctors to restore their physical, emotional and spiritual, well-being.
The focus of treatment is on you as a person, not just your pain.
Physicians at Neurological Spine and Pain are experienced to treat a variety
of conditions such as joint, bone, and muscle pain; nerve pain; herniated disc pain;
and spinal cord injury pain and fibromyalgia pain. Their approach is to use what-
ever treatment or combination of treatments that suits each individual patient
best. Physicians are experienced in treating patients using cutting-edge and tested
traditional treatments which include medications, pain-relieving procedures, and
rehabilitation. “An important part of our practice is listening and understanding,”
says Dr. Ross. “That has always been important in medicine. That’s what many
people are looking for in a doctor and something we always want to be a part of
what we do.”
In addition to listening to their patients, Drs. Ross and Patel are committed to
staying on top of the latest medical advancements. “We have an obligation to stay
on the cutting edge of that change so that we can bring the latest advances to those
who depend on us,” says Ross.
An exciting opportunity for Drs. Ross and Patel was the participation in a
University of Miami research study into stem cell treatment for spinal problems.
Stem cells have the ability to modify themselves and develop into different types of
cells in the body. They are believed to have the potential to replace or heal damaged
tissue.
“The idea that stem cells can help to repair tissue—even regrow tissue—is so
revolutionary that we have to explore its potential. This is a new area of medicine
in which we can play a role and hopefully extend the boundaries of what we can do
for our patients,” says Ross.
