Revolutionizing Spine Care…Changing Lives

TELEMEDICINE APPOINTMENTS

Above all else, Texas Back Institute’s priority is to keep you healthy while you’re in our care. That’s why during these stressful times we have adopted COVID-19 protocols, which include the opportunity to be seen via telemedicine. To minimize both our patients’ and our employees’ exposure to the virus, an online visit with your doctor may be right for you. Contact Us to schedule your appointment today.

Tips To Improve Your Telemedicine Visit:

  • Computer. If possible, use a desktop or laptop rather than a phone to allow for a larger screen in case your physician needs to show you imaging. This also allows your hands to be free to participate in the physical exam portion. Make sure your screen is set at eye level to avoid your face being cut off. You can use your cellphone if a laptop or computer is not available.
  • Your Area. Make sure you have enough space to take a few steps around your device should the physician ask you to stand up, walk or perform motions such as bending forward or backward.
  • Eliminate Distractions. So long as it is safe to do so, keep your pets and children in another room, close your door and turn off your radio or TV during the call.
  • Dress Appropriately. Most of your visit will take place with you sitting, but do not forget that your physician may ask you to stand up. We do not want to see you in your boxers or underwear so wear appropriate clothing.
  • Keep Your Phone Nearby. You will receive a telemedicine link ahead of your scheduled visit, so please test your internet connection and audio prior to the visit. Feel free to call our office if you need help! We have staff that can walk you through the process. In some cases, technical difficulties may require that we call you on your phone.

Leaders in Advanced Spine Procedures

To find out whether you would benefit from artificial disc surgery, make an appointment to visit Texas Back Institute in the Dallas, TX, area for an evaluation. We always reserve surgery as a last resort, so we’ll seek to relieve pain first through conservative treatments such as physical therapy and pain management. If severe pain persists and it is determined that you would benefit from surgery, we can help you determine whether artificial disc replacement is right for you.
