Dr. Malone takes a multidisciplinary approach to spine care, where the patient’s overall lifestyle is considered as well as the issues of pain or loss of mobility. He carefully listens to, observes and examines each patient to ensure the most accurate diagnosis. He then works collaboratively with the patient to explain their diagnosis and all available treatment options before establishing a set of goals and developing a treatment plan.Treatment measures like physical therapy and/or the medical management of symptoms are always explored before surgical approaches are considered.
