Specialties
Welcome to our specialties page, where we detail our advanced evaluations and comprehensive treatments for complex spinal conditions. With decades of experience and a commitment to innovative care, our team specializes in personalized solutions for each patient’s unique needs.
Craniocervical Instability (CCI)
Our evaluation of Craniocervical Instability (CCI) utilizes dynamic, weight-bearing imaging—such as upright Cone Beam CT and supine advanced MRI—to accurately measure abnormal mobility between the skull and the upper cervical spine. This comprehensive analysis informs customized treatment plans designed to restore stability and alleviate chronic symptoms.
Atlantoaxial Instability (AAI)
We assess Atlantoaxial Instability (AAI) by comparing neutral and rotational imaging of the first two cervical vertebrae. Our detailed evaluation focuses on key radiological parameters to determine excessive movement that may lead to severe neck pain and neurological deficits.
Tethered Cord Syndrome
Tethered Cord Syndrome can be challenging to diagnose, which is why we employ both prone and supine MRI studies to capture dynamic differences in cord positioning. This thorough evaluation helps us identify subtle signs of tethering, ensuring the most appropriate course of either surgical or conservative management.
Arachnoiditis and root clumping
Tethered Cord Syndrome can be challenging to diagnose, which is why we employ both prone and supine MRI studies to capture dynamic differences in cord positioning. This thorough evaluation helps us identify subtle signs of tethering, ensuring the most appropriate course of either surgical or conservative management.
Chiari and Cranio-cervical
Chiari Malformation and related cranio-cervical conditions are carefully evaluated using advanced imaging techniques. Our approach precisely defines the extent of brain tissue herniation into the spinal canal and its impact on adjacent structures, facilitating the development of an effective, individualized treatment strategy.
Cervical Surgery
Our cervical surgery services address a range of conditions affecting the neck, offering both reconstructive and restorative solutions. We specialize in:
- Cervical Disc Replacement: A procedure aimed at maintaining motion while relieving nerve compression from degenerated discs by means of artificial disc replacement.
- ACDF Surgery: Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) is performed to stabilize the cervical spine by removing problematic discs and fusing the adjacent vertebrae.
- Cervical Myelopathy: We provide advanced surgical interventions for cervical myelopathy, a condition caused by compression of the spinal cord in the neck, aiming to improve neurological function and quality of life.
Lumbar Surgery
Our lumbar surgery offerings address lower back conditions through precise and minimally invasive techniques. The following procedures are available:
- Lumbar Disc Herniation: Targeting disc herniations to relieve nerve compression and restore mobility.
- Back Pain & Degenerative Disc Disease: Comprehensive evaluations and interventions for chronic back pain and disc degeneration.
- Lumbar Disc Replacement: A motion-preserving alternative to fusion that replaces a degenerated disc with an artificial one.
- Spinal Stenosis: Surgical decompression techniques to widen narrowed spinal canals and relieve pressure on nerves.
- Spondylolisthesis: Correction of vertebral slippage to stabilize the spine and reduce associated symptoms.
- Rhizolysis: A procedure focused on relieving pain by means of small nerve lysis, ending transmission to the spinal cord and thus avoiding perception by the brain.
Spinal Surgery
Our expertise in spinal surgery extends to a broad array of interventions—from minimally invasive procedures to complex, multi-level reconstructions. We tailor each surgical plan to your specific needs, ensuring optimal outcomes and a faster recovery.
Neurosurgery
As specialists in Neurosurgery, we combine advanced surgical techniques with state-of-the-art technology to treat disorders of the brain, spine, and nervous system. Our goal is to maximize both safety and effectiveness while maintaining a compassionate, patient-centered approach.
Information about MCAD
Mast Cell Activation Disorder (MCAD) can often intersect with complex spinal and neurological conditions. Our specialists are knowledgeable about MCAD and its potential impact on patient health. We provide detailed assessments to integrate MCAD management with your overall treatment plan.
