Christopher Bovinet, DO

Dr. Christopher Bovinet, M.D., is a spinal cord stimulation expert and has performed over a thousand of these pain relieving and functional restorative procedures with an incredible success rate. “This procedure is a great tool I utilize for patients who have failed prior spine surgeries or when no surgery is indicated or desired by the patient. Patients may try the procedure out before ever having it implanted,” he said.

Dr. Bovinet is also prolific in minimally-invasive posterior sacroiliac joint (SI joint) fusion as the first physician in the world to complete 100 of the LinQ SIJ fusion procedures. “This minimally invasive procedure is providing amazing long-term results.”

He serves as a consultant for several spine medical advisory boards and is a key opinion leader in the field of neuromodulation (SCS). He is a director-at-large for the Georgia Society of Interventional Pain Physicians and is a member of several other key spine, interventional pain, and neuromodulation societies. He is driven in his work by seeing amazing patient outcomes in individuals that had lost hope and thought nothing could be done for them. He enjoys giving patients their lives back.

After completing a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry/pre-med at Lee University in Tennessee, he earned his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine.

He finished an internship at Botsford Hospital in Michigan. Medical College of Virginia served as the site for his physical medicine and rehabilitation residency and interventional pain management fellowship. He served as the chief fellow.
