MOUNT AIRY, N.C. – To improve access to care for patients suffering with chronic back pain, Novant Health opened a new spine clinic at 865 Westlake Drive in Mount Airy on March 15. The goal of the new clinic, Novant Health Spine Specialists - Mount Airy, is to provide the latest in nonoperative pain relief therapies and surgical treatment options to help patients improve function and return to their daily activities. The clinic will treat a wide range of back pain issues, including spinal fractures, tumors, infections and other conditions such as scoliosis that can cause severe pain and limit mobility.
"Neck and back pain are common problems in our society, with 80% of us experiencing them over our lifetime,” said Dr. Scott Nimmons, at Novant Health Spine Specialists - Mount Airy. “This can lead to diminished quality of life and long-term disability, impacting the time we spend with family, friends and limiting our productivity at work. My goal is to not only relieve pain, but to restore hope."
While surgery may be recommended for some patients, the care team at Novant Health Spine Specialists is committed to working with each patient to develop a personalized treatment plan that may include a referral to physical therapy, a variety of pain management therapies, injections and/or a minimally invasive surgery.
The new 4,854-square-foot clinic is staffed by Nimmons, a board-certified spine surgeon, and Dr. Jugal Dalal, a board-certified anesthesiologist who specializes in pain management.
· Nimmons earned his master’s degree at Mississippi College and his medical degree at Texas A&M University. He went on to complete an orthopedic surgery internship and residency at Baylor University. He then completed a fellowship in spine surgery at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. Nimmons also played football at Rice University, where he completed his bachelor’s degree.
