Stem‑cell therapies and sports medicine programs further expand the range of non‑operative options. Animas Spine’s team is led by Dr. Patrick N. McLaughlin, MD, a fellowship‑trained physical medicine and rehabilitation physician with a focus on spine and musculoskeletal regeneration. Supporting clinicians include Meg Lacek, Mia Gurule, Madelyn Roberson, Dr. David R. Silva, DO, and Dr. Brandon Messerli, DO, each contributing to the clinic’s collaborative approach.
