Spine Center

We are here to help you stand up to neck and back pain

At The Spine Center at Andrews Sports Medicine, our non-surgical sports medicine physicians, interventional spine specialist, Charles T. Carnel, MD, and spine surgeon, Andrew M. Cordover, MD take a team approach to diagnose and identify the best form of treatment for spine injuries, disorders, and chronic conditions based on each patient’s unique situation. 

Our team of experts are accustomed to treating the most common neck and spine injuries and conditions ranging from compression fractures, herniated discs, myelopathy, piriformis syndrome, spinal fractures, spondylosis, and sports-related spinal injuries to degenerative spine diseases like degenerative disc disease, sciatica  and spinal stenosis. 

Charles T. Carnel, MD is an interventional spine specialist and is the non-surgical physician that oversees all spine care, specifically the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar areas of the spine. Dr. Carnel treatment plans include x-ray guided spinal injections, nerve ablations, kyphoplasty, in-office musculoskeletal injections, spinal cord stimulators, and clinic injections that sometimes include an ultrasound or trigger points. Dr. Carnel has been performing these treatments for 10+ years and believes that each has grown up on an equal playing field. Whatever the treatment may be, his goal is to treat his patients on a non-surgical path.

If Dr. Carnel determines that a surgical approach may be a better treatment path for a patient, he consults with orthopaedic spine surgeon, Andrew M. Cordover, MD.  TBD

When necessary, we coordinate with other trusted providers, such as pain management, neurology and physical therapists, to help you recover faster and return to your sport, activity or passion as quickly and safely as possible.
