Services
Kyphoplasty
Kyphoplasty treats spinal compression fractures by restoring vertebral height and stabilizing the bone using balloon inflation and cement injection. This minimally invasive procedure provides rapid pain relief and improved mobility for patients with osteoporotic or traumatic fractures. Ideal candidates experience severe back pain directly caused by vertebral collapse, with significant improvement typically seen within days of treatment.
SI Joint Fusion
SI joint fusion addresses chronic sacroiliac joint dysfunction by stabilizing the connection between the spine and pelvis. Using minimally invasive techniques, specialized implants fuse the sacrum and ilium to eliminate abnormal motion. Patients with persistent lower back, hip, or leg pain unresponsive to conservative treatments benefit from this procedure, which typically results in significant pain reduction and improved functional mobility.
Spinal Stenosis Care
Comprehensive management of spinal stenosis combines physical therapy, medication, and minimally invasive decompression surgery for patients with narrowed spinal canals. Treatment focuses on relieving nerve pressure causing back pain, numbness, and mobility issues. Customized plans address both lumbar and cervical stenosis through conservative management or surgical intervention when necessary.
Sciatica Management
Targeted sciatica treatment addresses nerve compression through physical therapy, epidural injections, and surgical decompression. Our approach identifies root causes like herniated discs or spinal misalignment to provide lasting relief from radiating leg pain. Non-invasive options are prioritized, with minimally invasive procedures reserved for severe or persistent cases.
Telemedicine Consultations
Virtual clinic services enable remote diagnosis and treatment planning for spine conditions through secure video consultations. Patients receive expert evaluations, imaging reviews, and personalized care recommendations without leaving home. This convenient option works for initial assessments, follow-ups, and post-operative check-ins while maintaining the same high standard of care.

Dr. Jones is absolutely the best!! My husband has been in crippling, chronic pain for 10 years. We were referred to Dr. Jones for a laminectomy. Everyone in his office is incredibly kind, friendly and professional. The surgery was scheduled quickly and within two days (I'm serious) my husband looks, feels, and acts TEN YEARS YOUNGER. We are so incredibly happy with the surgery, Dr. Jones, his staff, and most of all what an amazing difference this has made in our lives. We are so blessed and grateful for his skill and compassion. We are recommending him to EVERYONE we know! Thank you again and again

Very nice dr, office staff are wonderful & very accommodating. Ms. Isabella Garcia in the Marketing office helped us especially, with coordinating X-rays from River Oaks Hospital (where surgery was) for the Cardiologist Clearance. It kept us from going multiple places for pre-op, and is greatly appreciated! Update- post surgery- Dr Beverly was great- kept in touch with us by text with all questions I had about wound care, Dr Jones kept my Husband out of pain, even took my call after hours on a Friday. We were very pleased with the experience

After suffering with lower back pain for a number of years, I was referred to Dr. Thomas Jones. Not only was Dr. Jones able to accurately diagnosis my condition, but he also discussed in detail my treatment options. He and the staff (Beverly, Renita, Nelda) at The Spine Institute of Southeast Texas - Pearland are very professional and knowledgeable. Their professionalism and genuine concern for patients made the process of scheduling my spinal fusion surgery and therapy afterwards much simpler. Dr. Joness bedside manner ( prior to and post surgery) along with his ability to listen attentively
