Advanced Spine Care with a Conservative, Patient-First Approach
If back, neck, arm, or leg pain is starting to take over your life, Dr. Jeffrey A. Moore — fellowship-trained orthopedic spine surgeon in Oklahoma City — focuses on getting to the true source of your pain and building a treatment plan that fits your goals.
- Neck & back pain
- Sciatica & leg pain
- Herniated discs
- Spinal stenosis
- Adult scoliosis
In many cases, Dr. Moore can review your MRI/X-rays and prior notes before your visit so you can spend more time talking about options and less time repeating your story.
A Thoughtful, Step-by-Step Plan for Neck & Back Pain
Not every spine problem needs surgery. Many people improve with the right combination of activity changes, targeted physical therapy, and interventional pain procedures. Dr. Moore’s goal is to relieve pain and protect your function while using the least invasive treatment that makes sense for you.
Your visit typically begins with a detailed conversation about your symptoms and lifestyle, a focused physical exam, and a careful review of any imaging you already have (such as an MRI or CT scan). From there, Dr. Moore outlines clear options so you understand exactly why a treatment is recommended.
Spine Conditions Commonly Treated
Dr. Moore cares for adults with a wide range of neck and back problems, including both long-standing pain and newer injuries:
Disc material pressing on nearby nerves can cause sharp arm or leg pain, numbness, or weakness.
Compression of the sciatic nerve or related nerves in the low back can cause burning, shooting pain down the leg.
Pain, tingling, or weakness in the arm or hand may be related to pinched nerves in the cervical spine.
Narrowing around the spinal cord and nerves can lead to back and leg pain, especially with standing or walking.
Age-related changes in the discs and joints of the spine can cause chronic neck or low back pain.
Curvature or imbalance of the spine in adults can cause pain, fatigue, and difficulty standing upright.
Treatment Options with Dr. Moore
Every patient’s spine is different. After reviewing your imaging and exam, Dr. Moore may recommend one or a combination of the following treatments:
- Conservative care – activity modification, medications when appropriate, and physical therapy.
- Interventional pain procedures – targeted injections, nerve blocks, or radiofrequency ablation to reduce inflammation and confirm the source of pain.
- Minimally invasive decompression – removing bone spurs, thickened ligaments, or disc fragments to relieve pressure on nerves.
- Spinal fusion – stabilizing unstable or significantly degenerated segments of the spine when needed for long-term relief.
- ACDF (anterior cervical discectomy and fusion) – a common neck surgery for herniated discs and nerve compression causing arm symptoms.
- Disc replacement (for selected patients) – replacing a damaged disc with an artificial disc to help preserve motion at that level.
When surgery is appropriate, Dr. Moore uses detailed pre-operative planning and modern imaging or navigation tools when indicated, with the goal of improving precision and long-term outcomes.
