CONTRIBUTED CONTENT — Whether patients are struggling with acute or chronic pain, Southwest Spine & Pain Center is dedicated to helping them live life to the fullest. From the front desk staff to the medical assistants to the physicians, every member of the care team works together to provide a thorough and compassionate approach to their unique pain management journey.
Southwest Spine & Pain brings industry-leading diagnostic services, advanced imaging, surgical care and rehabilitation to Southern Utah and continues to set the standard for pain management in the community. Recently, Best of Southern Utah voters awarded the practice a gold ribbon in the pain clinic category for the third consecutive year.
“This award is truly a demonstration of the extraordinary care we strive to provide to those in need,” Southwest Spine & Pain CEO Trevor Q. Smith said. “It’s important for the community to know that if they’re in pain, there is hope and treatment that can give them back their life again.”
The caring and credentialed experts at Southwest Spine & Pain, a division of Vista Healthcare, are prepared to meet Southern Utah’s expanding medical needs as the community grows. Using a team approach and the latest technology available, they address arthritis, back pain, neck pain, knee pain, hip pain, cancer pain, neuropathy, osteoporosis, sciatica, fibromyalgia, headaches and more.
Comprehensive pain management is the most effective pain management solution, and Southwest Spine & Pain provides a multidisciplinary approach through the use of injection therapies, minimally invasive surgical procedures and lifestyle guidance, along with coordinating physical therapy and advanced imaging. Many patients experience significant or complete relief from their pain without long-term use of opioids and other pain medications.
“Southwest Spine & Pain brings the very best care to our local community,” Smith said. “I would encourage those that are experiencing pain to give our clinics a try. We have many options that can quickly improve their pain.”
Dr. Jon Obray, Dr. Rick Obray and Dr. Derek Frieden established Southwest Spine & Pain in St. George. As pain management specialists, they observed a need within Utah’s smaller communities for access to comprehensive chronic and acute pain care. The practice has since grown to 16 locations serving patients as far north as Logan.
Southwest Spine & Pain employs some of the most well-trained pain management specialists both in Utah and on the national stage. Their double board-certified physicians have studied with the best at Johns Hopkins, Harvard Medical School and the Mayo Clinic, among others, to provide comprehensive treatment options for a myriad of pain conditions.
Depth of expertise and focus on quality, safety, innovation and outcomes gives Southwest Spine & Pain the ability to provide the most efficient and effective care. What sets the practice apart is its prevailing belief that the needs of the patient always come first.
“It has been a privilege taking care of patients over the last 12 years in the St. George area,” founding partner Dr. Rick Obray said. “Every day, we try to improve the lives of those we treat by controlling and relieving their pain. To be recognized by our patients for this effort is extremely rewarding, both professionally and personally. I will continue to do all that I can to help them.”
Southwest Spine & Pain is currently accepting patients and scheduling appointments at the state-of-the-art Vista Medical Center, located at 2891 E. Mall Drive in St. George. Their providers are also available at additional clinic locations in St. George (301 N. 200 East, Suite 2A) and Hurricane (25 N. 2000 West, Suite 8).
Vista Healthcare offers an optimistic new view on medical care in Southern Utah. The group recognizes the demands of the growing community and understands that many patients currently face extended wait times to see specialists to help manage their care. They seek to provide improved access to specialty care resources for patients throughout the area.
