Spine and Wellness Centers of America

KENDALL, FL — Dr. Javier F. Vilasuso, a board-certified interventional pain physician, is recognized for advancing non-surgical treatment options for patients with herniated and degenerative disc pain through Intradiscal Ozone Chemonucleolysis.

Based in Kendall, Dr. Vilasuso is part of Spine and Wellness Centers of America, a multi-location medical group with practices throughout South Florida. The organization is known for delivering evidence-based spine and pain care through a coordinated, physician-led model.

With more than 17 years of experience in the pain management field, beginning during his medical training in 2007, Dr. Vilasuso treats discogenic pain affecting the lumbar, thoracic, and cervical spine using oxygen-based ozone therapy. The minimally invasive procedure is designed to reduce disc inflammation and nerve compression while preserving spinal structure, offering an alternative to surgery for appropriately selected patients. As awareness of non-surgical spine treatments grows, patients now travel from across the United States and abroad to seek care in South Florida.

“Ozone therapy allows us to treat disc-related pain with precision while avoiding unnecessary surgical intervention,” said Dr. Vilasuso. “Our responsibility is to apply evidence-based medicine, educate patients clearly, and protect function whenever possible.”

Dr. Vilasuso earned his medical degree from the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and completed his residency in Anesthesiology and fellowship training in Tampa at University of South Florida through the Morsani School of Medicine. He is board-certified in pain medicine through the American Board of Physician Specialties. His clinical practice focuses on minimally invasive, image-guided procedures that address the underlying source of pain rather than long-term symptom management.
