Finding the Freedom to Move Pain-Free
Eight out of ten Americans will suffer from back pain at some point in their life.* Often, treatments and medications only mask your back pain. Our spine care is different. We provide treatment for spinal problems based on our evidence-based outcomes research to target the cause of the pain using an individualized combination of physical therapy, pain management, pain psychiatry and minimally invasive spinal surgery.

Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (ALIF)
Anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) is a spine surgery that involves approaching the spine from the front (anterior) of the body to remove all or part of a herniated disc from in between two adjacent vertebrae (interbody) in the lower back (lumbar spine), then fusing, or joining together, the vertebrae on either side of the remaining disc space using bone graft or bone graft substitute
-
Discectomy
Spinal surgery to remove all or a part of an intervertebral disc
-
Epidural Steroid Injection
An epidural steroid injection delivers steroids directly into the epidural space in the spine. These steroids function as a potent anti-inflammatory medication, and using live x-ray imaging the injection deposits this medication very close to the site of the pain
-
Extreme Lateral Interbody Fusion (XLIF)
Extreme lateral interbody fusion (XLIF) is a minimally invasive procedure performed through the side of the body to treat spinal disorders and reduce long-term back or leg pain that has not responded to other treatments, such as steroid injections, physical therapy and pain medication
-
Kyphoplasty and Vertebroplasty
Similar to vertebroplasty, kyphoplasty may be used on patients with compression fractures in the spine. Kyphoplasty offers the potential to restore bone height in the vertebra and reverse deformity of the spine. We offer both treatments, allowing specialists to choose the correct treatment for each patient. As in vertebroplasty, a patient undergoing kyphoplasty lies face down
-
Laminectomy
Laminectomy, also called decompression, is a spinal surgery to remove the lamina — the back part of the vertebra that covers your spinal canal. Laminectomy enlarges your spinal canal, relieving pressure on the spinal cord or nerves caused by narrowing of the spine (spinal stenosis)
-
Minimally Invasive Surgery
A procedure used to examine organs and tissue in the abdominal cavity, minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery (laparoscopy) provides surgeons a view of the inside of the body through a tiny incision
-
Pain Management
Pain management is the medical specialty born out of the need for treating all types of pain, including musculoskeletal, spinal and neuropathic pain disorders
-
Physical Therapy
Helps people increase mobility and function by using various movements, exercises or electrotherapy
-
Spinal Cord Stimulation
This is typically a technology reserved for patients who have failed other conservative treatments including injection-based therapies. In spinal cord stimulation, electrical leads are inserted into the epidural space via a needle under live imaging. Through these leads, small electrical currents are applied to the areas of the spinal cord involved in pain
-
Spinal Fusion
Spinal fusion is an open surgical procedure that usually involves cutting into the back to perform the fusion of vertebrae
-
Total Disc Replacement
Total disc replacement is a reversible alternative that avoids many of the drawbacks of spinal fusion, while preserving motion, restoring height and keeping the stress along the spine in balance
-
Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF)
Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) is a type of spinal surgery in which the surgeon makes small incisions in the lower back to access lumbar vertebrae in need of fusion
