Dr. Jones uses his years of experience and specialized training to offer area residents comprehensive spine care. In his treatment approach, his first step is finding the primary source of pain or disability. Then he works with his patients to use conservative measures to treat their issues before moving on to other treatment options. In the event that surgery is required to relieve pain and help his patient resume an active lifestyle, Dr. Jones always uses the least invasive surgical solution available to help ensure the best result.
