Services
Spine Surgery
Our surgical interventions address complex spine conditions through techniques like fusion, disc replacement, and decompression. Patients receive pre-operative counseling to ensure clarity about procedures and recovery timelines. Outcomes are optimized through post-operative rehabilitation support.
Non-Surgical Treatments
We offer physical therapy, bracing, and medication management to alleviate spine-related pain without surgery. Treatment plans integrate lifestyle modifications and targeted exercises to improve mobility and function for conditions like degenerative disc disease.
Pain Management
Specialized strategies target nerve-related pain, including epidural injections and spinal cord stimulation. Our approach combines diagnostic precision with tailored interventions to reduce discomfort and enhance daily living activities for patients with persistent symptoms.
Spinal Fusion
This procedure permanently joins vertebrae to eliminate motion between them, treating instability from trauma or degeneration. Techniques include anterior, posterior, and lateral approaches to address cervical and lumbar spine conditions effectively.
Disc Replacement
Cervical and lumbar disc arthroplasty replaces damaged discs with prosthetics to maintain spinal flexibility. This motion-preserving alternative to fusion reduces adjacent segment stress while alleviating pain from degenerative or herniated discs.

Dr. Richardson is the best! Everyone in this office is so friendly and helpful. I had a pinched nerve caused by a bulging disc in my lower back. It gave me so much pain on my right leg I could barely walk. I ended up having back surgery which of course was scary in the beginning but I am soo glad I had this done. I am pain free and so happy with the results I really wish I would have done this sooner. I am so grateful to the whole staff for making me feel confortable every step of the way. From the front desk ladys, nurse, PA, and of course Dr. Richardson I 100% recommend this office!

Dr. Richardson and his staff are absolutely wonderful. From the minute I walked in the door I knew I was in the right place. Everyone was so nice and comforting. After meeting with the nurse practitioner I felt much more informed about my symptoms and am excited to start physical therapy. I highly recommend this office!

I had triple cervical fusion many years ago and had begun to experience worsening pain. I was recommended to Dr. Richardson's practice to investigate the situation. Throughout the months of appointments and testing their office did a superb job of finding a diagnosis to my situation and setting me upon the right treatment path. The nurse practitioner, Whitney Baker did an outstanding job of figuring out what was going on and distilling my treatment options. She treats patients like human beings and not just a number or a paycheck. She is compassionate and helpful. The office staff is prompt and

Dr. Kevin Richardson is the best! I had 2 unsuccessful spine surgeries prior to my visit with him. He was able to look at all my prior medical history and then educated me on my condition and what was needed to correct my spine. The surgery went well and I am grateful that I found the best spine doctor who is dedicated to his field and most of all dedicated to his patients and their health.

I had Herniated disc on my lumbar about 5 years ago and it was the WORST PAIN EVER! I decided to go see Dr. Richardson to see what were my options. One get an injection which temporarily stops the pain or two get the surgery. I chose to get the surgery and man how I wish I came to see Dr. Richardson alot sooner. Completely took take care me and my spine. My life is back to normal again. That is why I came back with my neck problem which isn't related to my lumbar surgery. Luckily I only need physical therapy and no surgery. Staff there is also great! Whitney Baker was the Doctor who saw me this

This practice and all who work here are amazing. Lisa the surgical coordinator is prompt at returning calls, excellent at providing all details regarding your preop needs and is genuinely a beautiful person. Dr. Richardson is both professional and personable. He made me feel secure and cared for throughout each visit and surgery. His PA Whitney Backer who recently joined the practice, has been a great asset and has provided me with the same service I experience with Dr. Richardson. Overall I would recommend this practice to anyone who needs care for their back.
