Meet Dr. Garrigues

Dr. Garrigues provides nonsurgical spine care and diagnostics to Spine Team Texas patients at the clinic in Allen, Texas. Although Dr. Garrigues was born in France, he considers himself an adopted Texan after coming here for college. “Minus a few years in Chicago and North Carolina for training, I’ve spent more time in Texas than anywhere else” he says. He is fluent in English, French, Italian, and Spanish.

When asked what the most rewarding part of his career is, he doesn’t hesitate to say: “Giving patients their lives back. Whatever their particular condition is-from an acute injury to a painful chronic condition — helping patients get better and developing a relationship with them is very fulfilling.”

Neck and back pain take the joy out of life. We’re here to help you find it again.

Our founder, Dr. David Rothbart, understood that people struggling with back or neck pain often fear surgery as the first option. He shared this concern, which is why he founded Spine Team Texas—to treat patients conservatively and avoid surgery as the initial solution. Dr. Rothbart’s team of carefully selected pain management experts has helped many patients find relief from their back and neck pain.
