Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (ALIF)

This procedure is used to fuse discs in the treatment of lower back and leg pain. By entering through the abdomen, back muscle and nerves are left untouched and a larger implant can be used allowing for better initial stability.

SI Fusion

SI fusion is a minimally invasive procedure which fuses together the two bones linked by the SI joint at the base of the spine when the joint has deteriorated or been damaged causing pain.

Minimally Invasive Lumbar Microdecompression

Minimally-Invasive Lumbar Microdecompression (MILM) is a surgical procedure used to treat spinal stenosis and herniated discs.

Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF)

Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is a combined minimally invasive surgical procedure to remove damaged or injured disc material from the spine in the neck.

Minimally Invasive Microdiscectomy

A microdiscectomy is a minimally invasive spine surgery to remove portions of a damaged spinal disc in order to relieve back pain. During the procedure, only the affected portion of the disc is removed to leave the majority of the disc intact and maintain the integrity of the spine.

Posterior Cervical Decompression and Fusion

A posterior cervical decompression is a complex spine surgery done to alleviate severe compression on the spinal cord and nerves. Specialized instrumentation is placed to provide stability and allow for fusion to develop.

Minimally Invasive Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (Mi-PLIF)

Minimally Invasive Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (PLIF) is a less invasive form of spinal fusion surgery. By using state-of-art screws and innovative intra-operative guidance we are able to perform the surgery with minimal muscle and soft tissue trauma.

Minimally Invasive Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (Mi-TLIF)

This minimally invasive technique utilizes state-of-the-art screws and intraoperative guidance to minimize tissue trauma in this procedure. A small incision is made on the patient’s back to access the lumbar spine. Patients tend to experience less post-surgical pain and recover faster from surgery using this approach.

Revision Spine Surgery

Revision spinal surgery is a procedure that takes place on a patient who has already undergone some form of spine surgery. A second surgery is never ideal and no patient wants to hear they need a revision; however, in some cases, a revision is necessary to correct issues not addressed by or even created by previous surgery.
