Interventional Pain Care in Huntersville, Without Surgery or Opioids

Advanced Sports & Spine is a pain management clinic in Huntersville, NC, located at 9920 Kincey Ave, Suite 200. We treat chronic neck pain, back pain, sciatica, herniated discs, arthritis, and joint pain using image-guided procedures that target the source of the pain rather than masking symptoms.

We are an independent private practice, not owned by a hospital system, so patients are not charged hospital facility fees. Our physicians are board-certified physiatrists, which means the same specialist who diagnoses your pain also performs the procedure to treat it. Most patients are seen within the same week, and many do not need a referral.

Because every treatment plan starts with a hands-on physical exam, an in-person visit is always the first step. Free on-site parking is available and the building is wheelchair accessible.

Pain Management in Huntersville, NC: What to Expect

If you are searching for pain management in Huntersville, NC, you already know the frustration: long waits for a specialist, surprise hospital facility fees, and treatment plans that mask symptoms rather than fix the problem. Advanced Sports & Spine was built to remove those obstacles and get Lake Norman patients seen quickly.

Board-Certified Specialists Who Diagnose and Treat in One Place

As board-certified physiatrists and interventional pain specialists, our Huntersville physicians bridge two disciplines that most clinics separate. They diagnose the root cause of your pain and perform the procedures to treat it, all under one roof. That means no referral chain, no bouncing between providers, and no waiting weeks just to get a plan.

Lake Norman patients dealing with chronic back pain, neck pain, spine pain, sciatica, herniated discs, and joint pain consistently find that precision-guided injections, radiofrequency ablation, and regenerative treatments deliver relief where years of medication management fell short.

Why Lake Norman Patients Skip the Hospital System

Charlotte's large hospital systems also operate pain clinics throughout the Lake Norman area, and those clinics come with hospital facility fees that can add significant cost to every visit, even for routine injections. As an independent pain management clinic, Advanced Sports & Spine does not charge facility fees. The procedure cost is the procedure cost, with no hidden billing layers.

Wait times are the other factor. Hospital-affiliated pain clinics across the Lake Norman area commonly schedule new patients weeks out. We offer same-week appointments for new Huntersville patients, most of whom come to us directly.

Our Huntersville clinic offers a full range of non-surgical, non-opioid interventional treatments:
