Silver Spine & Neurological Center was established by Dr. M. Viktor Silver after 20 years in practice with interventional pain management, minimally invasive and outpatient spine surgeries.
Dr. Silver completed fellowship training in the management of Complex Spinal diseases, including minimally invasive spine surgery, disc replacement and spinal injections.
With many years of experience in challenging cases, areas of special interest to Dr. Silver are the management of spinal conditions like sciatica, spinal stenosis, neck and back pain using the latest techniques in spinal injections, minimally invasive spinal surgery, sacroiliac joint fusions, spine cord stimulation and same-day surgery.
The primary objective is to understand the patient’s symptoms and signs in the context of a comprehensive diagnosis, to then lay the groundwork for treatment. The patient needs to know all the options for treatment, both surgically and non-surgically, including physical therapy,spinal injections and outpatient spine surgery.

“My initial appointment was with Trish. She gave me an Rx and suggested Cervical Traction Device. This reduced my pain level from a “9” down to “2” within 24-hours!
I know this will not solve every issue, but Trish was on point, and solved my problem quickly. I haven’t been able to sleep for a week and now that issue is gone.
I am very grateful.”
