Robotic spine surgery
Our surgeons specialize in minimally invasive spine surgeries, including:
- Laminectomy — the removal of the bone covering the top of the spinal canal
- Discectomy — the removal of the part of a herniated disc that is pushing on a nerve
These robot-assisted surgeries enable our surgeons to be more precise with a single incision, compared to traditional surgery. Minimally invasive surgery typically leads to faster recovery times, less scarring and reduced pain.
Spinal cord stimulator
We offer spinal cord stimulator implants. This technologically advanced device relieves chronic pain by pulsing electricity to the spinal cord. It even comes with a handheld remote, so you can control the intensity and number of pulses.
Spine rehabilitation services
After receiving treatment, you may find it difficult to complete daily tasks. Our teams offer inpatient physical therapy if you find you need more intensive services to fully recover. We also have an outpatient physical therapy program to help you fully recover and regain mobility.
