Putting the patient first is our priority. If you choose one of our neurosurgeons or orthopedic surgeons for your needs we can guarantee that.

Offering The Best Care Available, Not Just Surgery

It’s an unfortunate misconception that surgeons only recommend surgery. That is not the case with Tennessee Spine Specialists. Our medical team is experienced with the latest non-invasive procedures as well. All of our doctors do non invasive procedures and minimally invasive procedures.

Therefore if you were recommended to see a neurosurgeon or orthopedic surgeon go with Tennessee Spine Specialists. Not everyone needs surgery, most people only need a non invasive procedure such as an injection or a minimally invasive procedure such as a radio frequency ablation.

Orthopedic Conditions We Treat

SLAP Tear

This tear affects the labrum which is the cartilage on the rim of the shoulder’s socket. Sometimes the biceps tendon may also be damaged when the superior labrum anterior and posterior is damaged.

Meniscal Tears

This is a torn cartilage that is in the knee. I can be due to the normal aging process. When you hear a knee pop that may be a meniscus tear, which will start to hurt and swell.

Tendon Tears

This happens when tissues that connect the muscle to the bones tear. A common tendon tear can be a patellar tear.

Rotator Cuff Tear

Can happen over time due to repeated motion or can happen due to an acute injury such as a car accident. A rotator cuff tear happens when there is a tear in the muscle that surrounds the shoulder joint.

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries

These are tears in your knee that can happen due to quickly changing directions or a specific motion that can tear this ligament. Most of the time a tear to the ACL will require surgery.
