Comprehensive and Multidisciplinary Care
Our highly specialized and experienced network of pain doctors, radiologists, therapists, and oncologists work with our spine care experts to offer treatment options for all conditions involving the spine, including degenerative spine disease, pinched nerves, pain, disc displacement, spinal infection, spinal tumor and vascular lesions.
Leading-Edge Minimally Invasive Approaches
We offer highly advanced minimally invasive procedures through a variety of techniques including computer guidance, kyphoplasty, and cervical disc arthroplasty. Our approach limits tissue disruption and speeds recovery by reducing pain and maintaining motion of the spine when possible.
Conditions We Treat
Spinal disorders may be caused by spine trauma, genetic components or disease including cancer.
Spine Treatment for Tumors
- Complex tumor resection (intradural and extradural)
- Spinal reconstruction following resection
Treatment for Spine Pain
- Minimally invasive spinal decompression
- Microdiscectomy
- Keyhole approaches to the spine
- Motion-preserving cervical arthroplasty (disc replacement)
- Minimally invasive spinal fusion
Spine Treatment for Other Trauma
- Minimally invasive spinal fusion computer-assisted spinal fusion
- Vertebroplasty
Spine care that goes beyond the procedure
We believe a successful surgery involves more than the technical aspects of the procedure. We provide educational sessions to teach our patients how to best prepare for surgery and aid the recovery process post-surgery, including proper nutrition and optimization of physical health.
