Our experts specialize in the latest and most advanced nonsurgical and surgical approaches in the management of the complete spectrum of spine conditions. Each specialist at the Comprehennsive Brain Health Center has a subspecialization within the disciplines of pain management, rehabilitation medicine and spinal surgery. This expertise spans neck and back pain, nerve and spinal cord compression syndromes, peripheral nerve entrapment, intradural spine and nerve sheath tumors, tumors affecting the spinal column, and scoliotic deformities of the spine.
Our award-winning spine experts offer a variety of nonsurgical treatments to address pain and restore mobility. For those patients who need surgery, our team of renowned fellowship-trained neurosurgeons and orthopedic spine surgeons perform the full spectrum of procedures including minimally invasive spine surgery (MIS), discectomy, decompression with stabilization, spinal fusion and spine reconstruction including deformity correction in both adults and children.
Our elite interdisciplinary team takes a holistic approach, treating the entire patient, listening to their concerns and consulting across a variety of disciplines to find the appropriate individualized treatment, which may include physical therapy, nerve blocks, epidural steroid injections and surgery when conservative therapy is ineffective. Patients under consideration for spine surgery, including decompression surgery and/or spine reconstruction, are reviewed at a multidisciplinary indications conference to ensure best practices and possible outcomes.
