All of our providers are all uniquely qualified to treat musculoskeletal pain for all patients to include athletes of all ages, no matter what your sport or preferred activity.
We specialize in all types of pain that can range from:
- The elite athletes at the competitive level, to those that spend more time in their living room recliners cheering on their favorite team as well the "Weekend Warriors
- The avid gardener to the avid TV binge watchers.
- Those who are addicted to their social media devices
- Those who spend too much time on their computers or driving in their vehicles
- Those who are recently injured to those who have had pain for years.
- Those who have no idea what started their pain
What all of these people have in common is pain, and we take pride in helping all of the "athletes" in getting back to a better quality of life with less pain and improved function.
The ultimate goal of treatment is to reduce or alleviate pain and improve your function. At Coastal Virginia Spine and Pain Center, this is achieved by starting with a positive provider-patient relationship and trust. You and your treating provider will review your situation and determine an accurate diagnosis. A tailored treatment plan is then implemented which may include medications, Physical Therapy, and/or Injection Therapies (Spinal, Joint or Muscular), using cutting- edge technologies.
We try to achieve the best relief of your pain while utilizing conservative methods. If medications are required, we try to control your pain while avoiding potentially addictive medications and use the lowest doses possible in your situation. We also strive to educate our patients in order to help them manage their symptoms on their own.
Treatment at Coastal Virginia Spine and Pain Center will help you regain control of your life instead of allowing pain to stay in control- START YOUR ROAD TO RECOVERY and call for an appointment.

What Our Patients Have to Say About Us
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
I've been a patient of Dr. Spear's for years, and I can't say enough good things about the doctors and staff at Coastal Virginia Spine and Pain Center. They're genuinely good, kind and caring people, and I have always received excellent care here
Tracy B.
I’ve been seeing Kathy for my Pt for some time now. She is by far the best that I have ever been too. She listens and gives good feedback. She also goes above and beyond to help me. I had a very bad rib injury. I don't think any other physical therapist could have done for me what she has.

Dr Spears is absolutely the best. I have so many health problems and have so many doctors but not one spends as much time with me as Dr Spears. Very dedicated.

Dr. Spear successfully treated my back issues . He thoroughly explained and demonstrated where the source of my pain came from and recommend several courses of remedy . I highly recommend him and his practice.

Robin and Scott know how to do things that no other therapists do, using a variety of orthopedic, manipulative, kinesiology, and massage techniques, including myo-fascial release and cranio-sacral modalities. Dr. Spear is an orthopedic doctor and will diagnose and treat all orthopedic problems. Not your normal PT place!
