Spinal & Neuromuscular Disorder Services We Offer
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 performs the full spectrum of procedures, including minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS), discectomy, decompression with stabilization, spinal fusion and spine reconstruction, including deformity correction in both adults and children.
Our renowned 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. This may include physical therapy, nerve blocks, epidural steroid injections and/or 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. If surgery is recommended as part of your care plan, we’ll coordinate scheduling with our world-renowned surgeons at one of the many locations within our health system.
