WELCOME TO KENAI SPINE

A Regional Destination Center for Back and Neck Pain.

About Kenai Spine

Kenai Spine is a regional spine Center of Excellence that combines the expertise of 2 fellowship-trained spine surgeons (the highest level of medical education possible); a Mayo Clinic-trained specialist in nonsurgical treatment; and a spine therapy gym — all under one roof.

Spine Center Network

Kenai Spine is the only spine center in the State of Alaska to be included in Spine Center Network, an exclusive national listing of credentialed spine centers of excellence that emphasize non-surgical treatment options with fellowship-trained spine surgeons and non-surgical spine specialists.

Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

Several weeks of recovery may be required for traditional “open” surgery as it may involve a three-inch long incision. New minimally invasive technology enables the Kenai Spine surgeon to reduce the size of the incision, which shortens time in the hospital and makes recovery faster and less painful.

A fresh approach to back pain

The good news is that 80% of back and neck pain gets better on its own over time. And with Kenai Spine, only a small percentage of patients will ever need spine surgery. Isn’t that a relief? Within this site, you will find symptom charts, home remedies that relieve pain symptoms, and when you need to see a doctor. One of the key features that sets Kenai Spine apart from other clinics that treat back and neck pain is its spine-specialized therapy area.
