Southwest Spine & Sports: Michael Wolff, MD

Restoring health and functionality without surgery

As a double-board certified interventional physical medicine and rehabilitation physician (PM&R), Michael Wolff, MD has devoted his career to helping people limited by musculoskeletal injuries return to the life they love without surgery. In 1999, he established Southwest Spine & Sports to provide high quality, individualized care to restore health and function to patients with conditions such as low back pain, sciatica, degenerative discs, neck pain, tendinitis and osteoarthritis. His practice encompasses non-surgical, traditional treatments, regenerative therapies and orthobiologics that relieve pain, provide lasting relief of symptoms and improve joint function. Dr. Wolff’s expertise and approach to functional wellness helps you optimize your ability to heal yourself for a better, healthier life.

Get Back to the Life You Love Without Surgery

Patients are frustrated when an injury slows them down or prevents them from fully participating in the lifestyle they enjoy. For chronic back pain, people tend to be quite familiar with surgical approaches such as spinal fusion and the traditional, conservative approaches involving epidural steroid injections. While those have their place, steroid injections may last just a short time, and surgery is invasive and entails a lengthy recovery. People aren’t as well-versed in regenerative treatments and orthobiologics that can be exceptionally effective at treating the root cause of the problem. Orthobiologic therapies work on a cellular level to reduce inflammation, initiate repair and stimulate the production of new, healthy tissue. Regenerative medicine enables us to treat patients with an individualized plan and all-natural, non-surgical solutions for long-lasting results.

Eliminate Pain with Proven, Non-Invasive Treatments

Pain is a signal, not a sentence. Diagnosing the root cause and developing a tailored treatment plan centered on natural, non-surgical therapies such as orthobiologics can be extremely effective at accelerating the body’s healing process, whether you’re a daily exerciser, weekend warrior or professional athlete. Such regenerative treatments are ideal for people with chronic back pain, soft tissue injuries such as tennis elbow and knee tendinitis, and other musculoskeletal conditions.

Southwest Spine & Sports’ patient-focused approach ensures you receive an accurate diagnosis and effective personalized treatment plans that may include:

• Regenerative therapies such as platelet rich plasma (PRP) and biologics that safely reduce inflammation, initiate cell repair and stimulate the production of healthy new tissue.
• Cutting-edge interventions such as the Discseel® Procedure, a non-surgical biologic treatment for back pain. The Discseel® Procedure is the only minimally invasive, patented procedure that repairs damaged discs by sealing them with natural fibrin, stimulates healthy tissue and restores the integrity to damaged discs. Dr. Wolff leads the Southwest in this treatment as the first Master Instructor of the Discseel® Procedure.
• Functional wellness:  EMSCULPT neo® helps patients build and maintain a strong, healthy core to protect against muscle damage and age-related challenges. This revolutionary technology increases lean muscle and destroys fat cells (including visceral fat) in one-30-minute treatment to improve form and function.
• Traditional therapies such as nerve blocks and anti-inflammatory epidural steroid injections for immediate pain relief.
• IV wellness treatments that promote hydration, protect against stress, shorten recovery times and help maintain optimal health.

Simple Philosophy. Profound Results.

Innovative therapies yield profound results. Dr. Wolff and his team share a simple philosophy: Treat the whole person, not just their symptoms, and treat every patient as if they were family. They encourage everyone to explore proven, non-surgical and restorative approaches to injury resolution first and build resilience through all-natural regenerative treatments that help you maintain optimal health and an active lifestyle.
