Spine conditions and injuries we treat

The spine is a complex system of tissues, bones and nerves that can be affected by many conditions. We treat a wide range of these issues, including:

  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Herniated discs
  • Myelopathy
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Spine fractures
  • Spine infections (osteomyelitis)
  • Spinal stenosis

Orthopedic and neurological spine care we provide

We work hard to provide healthcare that is designed specifically for you. That's why we offer both minimally invasive procedures and traditional surgical treatment methods.

Nonsurgical and minimally invasive spine care

When possible, our spine specialists will use nonsurgical or minimally invasive treatments to address your condition. These methods include spinal injections, nerve stimulation and radiofrequency ablation. Should you need an advanced therapy approach, we can consult with physical therapy and rehabilitation specialists as well.


Surgical spine care

When a surgical approach is necessary, our experienced spine surgeons and support staff will be with you every step of the way. They provide presurgical education and postsurgical care to give you a smooth, comfortable recovery.

Spine surgeries we perform include:

  • Discectomy/microdiscectomy — removes all or part of the disc or the cushion between the vertebrae
  • Kyphoplasty — treats spinal fractures by using a balloon filled with medical cement to create space, helping to ease pain and restore height
  • Laminectomy or laminotomy — involves removing the part of the backbone that covers the spinal canal to relieve pressure on the spinal nerves and is often performed with spinal fusion surgery
  • Spinal fusion — increases spine stability by joining two vertebrae with bone grafts and, sometimes, implants, such as rods and screws
