Spinal neurosurgeon James Lynch, MD, is encouraging patients to seek treatment for back problems, according to a June 19 KOLO report.
Like most practices, Reno-based Spine Nevada has implemented several steps to reduce the risks of COVID-19 exposure, including zero-contact check-in, extra patient screenings and mandatory mask-wearing.
Spine Nevada has also expanded telemedicine services, particularly for initial consultations.
Dr. Lynch also cautioned patients against postponing treatment, which can cause their problems to escalate over time.
