The Most Comprehensive Team of Spine Specialists in Greater Omaha

Neck or back pain that won't go away?

Numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain shooting down your arm or leg can signal that your spine is the source of your symptoms. At MD West ONE, our spine specialists are neurosurgeons who are trained to understand the entire nervous system that affects how you feel and move. Neurosurgcial spine physicians have extensive training in treating the complexities of the spine, spinal cord, and nerves.

Where do our spine doctors see patients?

Our team of spine specialists see patients at our clinics in Omaha, Fremont, Council Bluffs and at numerous outreach clinics in Nebraska and Iowa. See all of our spine clinics to find the closest location to you. 

Surgery isn't always necessary. Our spine doctors offer non-surgical treatments, too!

MD West ONE's spine doctors will determine the best course of treatment depending on your condition. A number of factors are considered, and MD West ONE prides itself on taking a conservative approach to spine treatment. Our spine specialists only recommend spine surgery if it's absolutely necessary.

Could your symptoms be coming from your spine?

A spine or nerve condition can cause more than neck or back pain. Depending on where a nerve is irritated or compressed, symptoms may travel into other areas of the body.

Consider seeing a spine specialist if you are experiencing:

  • Neck pain that won’t go away
  • Persistent or recurring back pain
  • Numbness or tingling in an arm, hand, leg, or foot
  • Shooting, burning, or radiating pain
  • Pain traveling from your neck into your shoulder or arm
  • Pain traveling from your lower back into your hip or leg
  • Sciatica pain
  • Weakness in an arm or leg
  • Difficulty standing, walking, bending, or moving because of pain
  • Symptoms that continue despite rest or conservative treatment

The location of your pain isn’t always where the problem begins. Our spine specialists work to find the source.

Minimally Invasive & Traditional Surgeries

If our spine specialists determine surgery will provide you with the best possible outcome, they'll decide if traditional surgical methods or minimally invasive spine surgery is best. A number of factors are considered, and we pride ourselves on our comprehensive approach and attention to detail in developing the best possible treatment plan specific to you.

Non-Surgical Treatments

If our spine specialists determine surgery is not required, our back pain treatment experts in Omaha will work with you to find the best course of treatment to relieve your pain through a wide-range of techniques including medications, therapies and injections.

Disc

Your hand, arm, shoulder, neck, back and leg pain may be attributed to a spinal disc issue. Our spine specialists will determine if the removal or replacement of a disc is necessary through traditional or minimally-invasive surgery.

Decompression

Surgical and non-surgical spinal decompression treatments work to promote the movement of water, oxygen and fluids back into the discs so they can properly heal.

Fusion

Spinal fusion may be recommended to correct broken vertebrae, spinal deformities, spinal weakness or instability, spinal disorders and to stabilize the spine after the removal of a damaged herniated disc.

Patient Success Stories

“I had a severely bad bulging disk which was pinching two nerves. Talk about a lot of pain for 2 years! I’ve done everything from chiropractors, acupuncture, messages, and injections. But once I talked to Dr. Bowdino and decided surgery was the best option I felt very confident in our decision. He did a fantastic job! I would STRONGLY recommend going to MD West ONE.” -Shelby S.
