Finding Relief

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 619 million people worldwide suffer from low back pain. Chronic nerve injury or back pain can limit your patient’s activity level and quality of life. When mobility is limited, overall wellness also declines.

Our neurosurgeons diagnose, consult and surgically intervene to help provide reprieve from chronic pain. We are committed to reducing long-term pain levels while increasing mobility. We understand that your patients are ready to return to active lives without all the painful distractions.

Minimally Invasive Spine Surgeries

Our neurosurgeons use minimally invasive spine techniques to repair vertebral bones and other parts of the spine. Compared to traditional surgeries, this less invasive approach uses a smaller incision and equipment to access the targeted site, typically resulting in less harm to nearby muscles, tendons and other soft tissue.

Patients and providers are excited about the benefits of using image-guided robotics for minimally invasive spine surgeries.

  • Less pain
  • Reduced need for narcotics
  • Faster recovery time
  • Less scarring
  • Diminished risk of infection
  • Reduced blood loss

With robotic technology and small tools, surgeons make a tunnel to the targeted location by gently moving muscles and tendons. Specialized microscopes and real-time imaging assist our neurosurgeons by enhancing and extending their capabilities.

Open Spine Surgeries

Not all spine conditions should be treated with the minimally invasive approach. When this technique is not an option, our neurosurgeons may recommend other treatment alternatives, including open surgery with manual manipulation.

With open spine surgeries, a larger incision down the back exposes and allows access to the area. Our staff understands that everyone is unique. Interventions need to be personalized and patient-centered for the optimal patient experience. Regardless, our goal for every patient is to deliver the best and safest treatment choice.
