The Spine Center at Inova Loudoun Hospital (ILH) offers a range of treatments for those experiencing back pain and spine conditions. These include physical and occupational therapy, pain management and a variety of surgical options.

“We do all sorts of surgeries at Inova Loudoun Hospital, from the more complex to common minimally invasive procedures,” says Ali Moshirfar, MD, Chairman, Department of Orthopedic Surgery and Director of Spine Surgery at Inova Loudoun Hospital. “We have a very robust spine program.”

Physical and occupational therapy help patients become stronger and adjust to living independently. Pain management might involve neurostimulation, medication or injections.

Inova Loudoun Hospital also has a dedicated spine team — including nurses, surgical assistants, anesthesiologists and technicians — that assist physicians with specific conditions and procedures. “There is a greater degree of efficiency and less chance for complications because the team is doing the same thing every time,” Dr. Moshirfar says.

Along with these physicians and the spine team, we have spine navigators who help patients every step of the way through their care. “It can be overwhelming for patients to figure out who they need to talk to or where to go when they have a problem, so the navigators help them through the maze of specialists and stay in touch with patients through the entirety of their care. This allows for expedited, accurate and evidence-based treatment,” Dr. Moshirfar says.
