Overview

As an interventional spine specialist, I see patients with spine related problems, neck pain with/without associated arm symptoms, and back pain with/without associated leg symptoms. I perform spine related injections and other procedures with or without fluoroscopic guidance. I consider my patients as my teammates, and we work together to tackle the problems they have. My goal is to return them to better functioning and quality of life. I also work closely with excellent spine surgeons in our Spine Center for cases that fail to improve with conservative treatments.

I spent five years doing plastic surgery for burn victims, during which time I saw many patients who had very limited function and suffered chronic pain. Physical medicine and rehabilitation attracted me because it focuses on the patient’s functional improvement and quality of life. I specialize in delivering individualized, integrated, and expedited care that helps my patients reach their functional goals. I perform image-guided interventional spine procedures, medical management and acupuncture. While my focus is on providing nonsurgical treatments, I am both fortunate and honored to closely partner with the exceptional spine surgeons at the Duke Spine Center. I look forward to meeting you and helping alleviate your back and neck pain. Dr. Liu is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Spinal Stenosis. Her top areas of expertise are Spinal Stenosis, Sciatica, Scoliosis, and Cervical Spondylosis.

My decision to pursue a career in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation began in medical school. I was attracted to the specialty because of its focus on return to function and management of pain. My current position allows me to treat patients with these goals in mind. I focus on the non-operative management of spine and other musculoskeletal conditions. My aim is to utilize conservative measures in order to decrease pain, enhance and restore functional ability and improve quality of life. I perform procedures including cervical and lumbar epidural steroid injections, facet joint injections, medial branch radiofrequency neurotomy, sacroiliac joint injections and other large joint injections. I am also specialty-trained in performing electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies (NCS). Dr. Scruggs is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Spinal Stenosis. His top areas of expertise are Spinal Stenosis, Sciatica, Scoliosis, and Cervical Spondylosis.
