OVERVIEW
What Is Orthopedic Spine Surgery?
Orthopedic spine surgery treats injuries, degeneration and structural problems of the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine. Our fellowship-trained surgeons combine advanced imaging, minimally invasive techniques and motion-preserving implants to relieve pain and restore function.
Most spine pain doesn’t need surgery. We start with the conservative options that work — physical therapy, targeted injections and activity changes — and only recommend an operation when it’s clearly the right answer for you.
