Innovative, Motion-Preserving Spine Care

Introducing the Spine Motion Institute at Rhea Medical Center!

Every spine is different. That’s why we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all treatments.

At the Spine Motion Institute at Rhea Medical Center, we take a personalized, multidisciplinary approach to diagnosing and treating spine conditions — helping you find the right solution for your pain and lifestyle.

Led by renowned surgeon Dr. Scott Hodges and local provider Don Duff, FNP-C, DC, we specialize in non-fusion, motion-preserving techniques designed to reduce downtime and restore your quality of life.

Let us help you live — and move — without limits. Now accepting new patients!
