Spine Care That Moves You Forward
When your back hurts, everything in life becomes more difficult, from work and daily routines to sleep and exercise. At The Spine Center at South Bend Clinic, we offer personalized, expert care to help you move with less pain and more confidence.
Our program is led by Rachael Harris Sprunger, DO, a dual board-certified interventional pain physician and physiatrist with advanced fellowship training in spine and pain management. Dr. Sprunger specializes in diagnosing and treating a broad range of spinal conditions, using a patient-first approach focused on relieving pain and restoring function.
A Personalized Approach to Spine Health — What to Expect
- Comprehensive evaluation by a fellowship-trained spine specialist
- On-site imaging (X‑ray, MRI)
- Ultrasound-guided spine and joint injections
- Epidural steroid injections and selective nerve blocks
- Radiofrequency ablation (RFA)
- Physical therapy referrals and rehabilitation planning
- Advanced interventional options when appropriate, including:
- MILD® (Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression) for lumbar spinal stenosis
- Intracept® Procedure for vertebrogenic low back pain
- Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) for chronic nerve-related pain
Whether you’re recovering from a recent injury or managing chronic pain, we begin with conservative, non-surgical options whenever possible. When more targeted treatment is needed, Dr. Harris Sprunger offers a full range of advanced procedures, including image-guided injections and minimally invasive interventions, performed on-site at The South Bend Clinic’s Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC).
