The Spine
Providing the support of your head and body, your spine encloses and protects a cylinder of nerve tissues called the spinal cord.
Our fellowship trained spine surgeon specializes in all aspects of surgical spinal care including the treatment of disk herniations, instability, fractures, tumors, scoliosis, and spinal stenosis. Most patients do not require surgery for spine problems and for those patients’ recommendations will be made regarding medications, physical therapy, bracing, injections and/or alternative medical treatments.
