Thanksgiving Wishes from Southern Pain and Spine. ?? As we gather around the table this season, we want to express our heartfelt appreciation for your continued support.

We will be closed today and tomorrow to allow our team to spend time with their loved ones. We'll resume regular hours on Monday.

Please join us in welcoming our new Physician Liaison, Hana Anderson, to the Southern Pain and Spine team! Hana is excited to support our referral partners and represent our practice in the communities we serve. Hana is a graduate of the University of Mississippi, where she studied Forensic Chemistry. She’s a proud Ole Miss alum who loves returning to the Grove for the ultimate SEC tailgating experience. Hana is also the proud owner of a Golden Doodle named Ajax, who is full of personality and never fails to bring joy to her life. The two share a love for the lake, where they enjoy long boat rides, swimming, and paddleboarding together. Originally from Carrollton, Georgia, Hana enjoys escaping the hustle and bustle of the city by visiting her hometown. She’s especially close to her grandparents, which has fueled her passion for pain management, particularly as she’s witnessed her grandpa’s battle with chronic back pain over the years. We’re thrilled to have Hana on board and look forward to the positive impact she’ll make with our team!

Two different approaches to SIJ fusion, both with >90% reduction in pain + actively weaning opioids. As far as I am aware there are no studies comparing the postero-lateral vs posterior approach. Besides a direct entry into the joint on pre-operative planning and hx of osteoperosis, would be curious to hear how other physicians decide on which approach to take?
