NECK, BACK & SPINE

Proliance Orthopedic Associates brings together a fellowship-trained spine surgery team and an interventional pain management specialist to provide comprehensive neck and back care across South King County. Dr. Chris Howe and Dr. Jason Thompson are fellowship-trained spine surgeons specializing in both minimally invasive and complex spinal surgery. Dr. Daniel Oh is an interventional pain management specialist focused on the non-operative diagnosis and treatment of spine conditions, including physical rehabilitation and procedures such as epidural steroid injections, facet ablations, and spinal cord stimulators. All three have been recognized as Seattle Met Top Doctors year after year.

This collaborative approach ensures every patient receives the right care at the right time. Many spine conditions improve without surgery, and Dr. Oh works closely with patients to optimize conservative management before an operation is considered. When spine surgery is needed, Dr. Howe and Dr. Thompson offer the full range of spinal procedures, from minimally invasive microdiscectomies and decompression to complex fusion and reconstructive surgery. Surgeries are performed at Proliance Surgery Center at Valley in Renton, recognized by U.S. News & World Report as a 2025 Best Ambulatory Surgery Center for orthopedics and spine care.

Our spine specialists see patients in Renton, Covington, and Maple Valley. We treat patients of all ages experiencing neck pain, back pain, radiating arm and leg pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, and other symptoms related to spinal conditions. Whether you're searching for a spine specialist in Renton, exploring back pain or neck pain treatment options, or trying to decide if surgery is the right next step, our goal is to help you return to an active, comfortable life — back to work, back to sports, or simply moving without pain.
