At the Orthopaedic Spine Center, our fellowship-trained physicians specialize in nationally recognized spinal care. Our physician staff is committed to providing the highest level of care to patients suffering from pain, numbness or weakness anywhere from the neck to the lower back. Many of the procedures performed are outpatient procedures, or allow the patient to go home the following morning. Our spectrum of care ranges from nonsurgical management of spinal disorders to the most complex reconstructive procedures for patients with debilitating conditions of the spine. Our spine physicians are recognized leaders in the treatment of complex deformities, tumors, infections, degenerative conditions, nerve impingement and paralysis. We are actively involved in research, including the development of spine implants and bone substitutes and we are instrumental in teaching these latest techniques to other physicians.
