Products and services

• Spinal Decompression Surgery Decompression surgery that relieves compression of the spinal cord or spinal nerves by creating space around the affected area. Indicated for patients with nerve compression from herniated discs, stenosis, or related spinal conditions.
• Diagnostic Testing Comprehensive diagnostic tests for spine conditions including Neck & Back CT & Myelography, Nerve Conduction Study & Electromyography, and other imaging/electrophysiology studies used to ensure precise diagnosis before treatment.
• Discectomy A minimally invasive surgery that relieves pressure on spinal nerves caused by a herniated disc by removing the damaged disc fragment. Indicated for patients with herniated discs and associated radiculopathy.
• Dynamic Stabilization Surgery An alternative to spinal fusion that stabilizes the spine while preserving a greater degree of flexibility, used for patients with instability or degenerative conditions where motion preservation is desired.
• Fusion Surgery (Cervical and Lumbar) Spinal fusion surgical procedure to fuse two or more vertebrae together to reduce back or neck pain, offered as cervical fusion and lumbar fusion for patients with instability, deformity, or degenerative conditions.
• Kyphoplasty A procedure to treat vertebral compression fractures by restoring spine alignment and reducing pain, typically performed on patients with osteoporotic or compression-related fractures.
• Minimally Invasive Spinal Surgery Advanced surgical techniques using smaller incisions that result in less muscle damage, fewer complications, and more precise treatment with improved patient outcomes and faster recovery.
• Non-Surgical Treatments Conservative care options including Epidural Steroid Injections, Facet Joint Injections, Trigger Point Injections, physical therapy, and pain management, positioned as the first therapeutic intervention before surgery.
• Rhizotomy A minimally invasive procedure that removes sensation from painful nerves by ablating nerve fibers responsible for sending pain signals to the brain, used for patients with facet joint pain and related spinal pain syndromes.
• Total Disc Replacement (Cervical and Lumbar) An innovative alternative to traditional spine fusion surgery that replaces a damaged disc with an artificial prosthesis, allowing the patient to retain normal range of motion. Offered as cervical disc replacement and lumbar disc replacement.
• Spine Surgery Fellowship Program Academic fellowship training program that has trained more than 120 Fellows throughout the country, co-led by Dr. Richard Guyer and Dr. Alexander Satin.
