We have a comprehensive spine program for those experiencing back or neck problems resulting from injury, illness, or wear and tear to the spine. Whether you are coping with the pain of a herniated disk or recovering from a spinal fracture, we are here to help restore you to your normal, active self.
Some of the most common spinal problems include:
- Fractures
- Herniated disks
- Sciatica
- Scoliosis
- Spinal stenosis
- Osteoporosis
Using advanced 3D imaging and robotics reduces surgical time and our patients benefit from having a shorter-acting spinal anesthesia. Compared to traditional procedures, minimally invasive spine surgery approaches using 3D imaging and robotics can also reduce the extent of surgical openings, tissue trauma, and radiation exposure, while allowing you to go home the same day as your procedure
