Align Spine

What Align Spine does

Align Spine Center is a physician-owned spinal healthcare practice operating from two clinic locations in Orange County, California (Brea and Irvine). The practice serves patients suffering from chronic back pain, spinal injuries, nerve compression, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, scoliosis, degenerative disc disease, and other spine-related conditions, offering both conservative and surgical treatment pathways within a single integrated care model.

The practice's core service lines include minimally invasive procedures (Kyphoplasty, Radiofrequency Ablation, Platelet Rich Plasma Injections, Spinal Cord Stimulation), pain management (epidural steroid injections, nerve blocks, facet joint injections, radiofrequency ablation), orthopedic spine surgery (decompression and fusion procedures including TLIF, LLIF/XLIF, ALIF, PLIF, ACDF, scoliosis correction), physical therapy (including the McKenzie Method), durable medical equipment provision, consultation, telehealth, and evaluation of prior surgeries. The clinical team comprises three board-certified physicians (Dr. Eric L. Lin and Dr. Raed M. Ali as orthopedic spine surgeons, and Dr. Ketan Patel in pain management and PM&R), supported by four mid-level providers including nurse practitioners and physician assistants.

Align Spine operates as a private medical practice generating revenue through direct patient consultations and procedures billed to insurance providers (the practice accepts Cigna, CalOptima, HealthNet, Blue Cross, Tricare, Carelon, and is affiliated with PIH Health and Providence St. Joseph Health networks) and self-pay patients. Patient acquisition relies on direct outreach, primary care and physical therapy referrals, and content-driven marketing through the practice's blog and SEO-optimized website. The practice leverages Epic MyChart as its patient portal and partners with Medical Specialty Managers (MSM) for medical billing and revenue cycle management.
