INDIANAPOLIS – The recently established Franciscan Spine Center now offers patients a complete range of non-surgical care services.

The center’s clinical staff makes use of the latest technologies such as injection therapy and radiofrequency treatments to locate diagnose and treat the causes and symptoms of spinal pain.
Physical therapy and behavior modification also are incorporated as effective components in patient care at the center.

"The treatment process begins with a single phone call from a referring physician," said Dan Nordmann, M.D., medical director of the Franciscan Spine Center. "The patient is evaluated to see whether surgery is expected or imminent. Most cases do not require surgery and are directed into a program of conservative, cost-effective treatment supported by research."

Nordmann, who is board-certified in internal medicine, anesthesiology and pain medicine, is an expert in the diagnosis and non-operative treatment of spine disorders.

The Franciscan Spine Center is at 110 N. 17th Street, Suite 300, Beech Grove. For more information, call 317-783-8494.
