Welcome to P.R.I.S.M. Spine and Joint, a new kind of musculoskeletal medicine practice. We know that an active lifestyle is the key to good health, and we help you achieve your goals by finding and treating the root cause of your pain or weakness. We focus on bringing the level of care received by professional athletes to patients with injuries, connective tissue disorders, chronic back pain, neurologic diagnoses, and to women before and after childbirth in addition to working with dancers and other athletes. We rehabilitate with you and teach you to care for your body and prevent future injuries. The P.R.I.S.M. team takes a head-to-toe, non-operative approach to maximizing your recovery and performance.
Unfortunately, we are not able to accept insurance as the time and resources required detract from our ability to spend a maximum amount of time with our patients. The fee for your initial evaluation will based on the length of the appointment you select. Upon receipt of payment in full, PRISM can submit your claim for you or provide you with a detailed receipt you may use to submit to your insurer. Please see Pricing for further details.
