The staff at Performance Spine & Sports Specialists strives to provide the most advanced, yet still conservative, treatment options currently available for spine and musculoskeletal disorders, as well as other chronic pain conditions, such as cancer, in a supportive, compassionate Christian environment.

We provide interventional management through a physical medicine and rehabilitation (physiatry) approach. This approach minimizes addictive medications.** Just as it is Christ’s mission to physically and spiritually restore lives, it is our mission to help you decrease your level of suffering, return you to your maximum level of functioning and independence, and thereby restore your quality of life. Our vision is to impact patients, medical providers, and their communities throughout NC and within the surrounding states with the knowledge and understanding of appropriate pain management..

The founder of the practice, Shawn Michelle Dalton-Bethea, MD, is fellowship trained in interventional spine procedures and advanced therapies. She is board certified by the American Board of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation and is certified with the American Board of Pain Medicine. Performance Spine & Sports Specialists, PA serves patients throughout Rockingham County, the Piedmont Triad region, as well as Danville, and southern Virginia.

**We are not an opioid management clinic. Patients should not expect to receive opioids as a standard part of their treatment. Opioids are only indicated for specific patient populations.
