Find relief at The Spine Institute where our team of specialists is dedicated
to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of spine injuries and conditions.
Our physical medicine and rehabilitation specialists, spine surgeons,
physician assistants and physical therapists work together to pinpoint
the cause of your symptoms and provide you with evidence-based, personalized
treatments to help you get better.
Our board-certified, fellowship-trained spine surgeons are here to perform
surgical solutions when non-surgical treatment options fail.
Surgery on the spine (neck, upper back, and lower back) may be recommended
for the following conditions/diagnoses:
Degenerative disc disease
Herniated or ruptured discs
Sciatica
Radiculopathy
Spinal stenosis
Spondylolisthesis
Vertebral fracture
Spondylosis
Scoliosis & Kyphosis
Myelopathy
Ankylosing spondylitis
Sacroiliac joint disease
Synovial Cyst
Surgery as a treatment option
Our spine surgeons offer you personalized care using the latest advancements
in spinal surgery to optimize your recovery.
They include:
Cervical disc replacement or arthroplasty
Microdiscectomy
Laminectomy, foraminotomy or decompression
Kyphoplasty
Spinal fusion
Oblique Lateral Interbody Fusion (OLIF)
Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF)
Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (ALIF)
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy can be effective for a range of acute and chronic spine conditions and
can decrease recovery time following surgery. Our licensed therapists
work closely with our physicians and physician assistants who are trained
to evaluate, develop an individualized plan, and provide evidence-based
care for problems of the spine. They offer a variety of techniques to
reduce pain, improve mobility, strength, stability and endurance, and
prevent future injury by using:
Patient Education
Postural Retraining
Body Mechanics Instruction
Strength Training
Flexibility Exercises
Joint Mobilizations
Soft Tissue Mobilization
McKenzie Method
Dry Needling
Heat or Ice Application
For your convenience, The Spine Institute offers a wide range of on-site
services, including
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), X-ray, orthopedic bracing, and physical therapy.
Diagnostic Imaging For Comprehensive Treatment
At The Spine Institute, our physicians utilize advanced diagnostic imaging
technologies to accurately diagnose, treat, and monitor spinal conditions
and injuries. One such technology, the X-ray longboard, offers several
key advantages, including:
Comprehensive Spine Assessment
This X-ray captures a full view of the entire spine in a single image,
from the cervical (neck) region down to the sacrum (lower back). This
helps our physicians to evaluate spinal alignment, detect curvature, and
identify structural abnormalities.
Assessment of Spinal Curvature
For patients with scoliosis or other spinal conditions, the X-ray longboard
helps our physicians measure the degree of curvature and monitor changes
over time. This is crucial for assessing the effectiveness of interventions.
Detection of Misalignments and Structural Abnormalities
This X-ray provides a detailed, uninterrupted view of the spine, enabling
the detection of misalignments, vertebral fractures, and other structural
issues that standard segmented X-rays might miss. This comprehensive imaging
is crucial for diagnosing conditions such as kyphosis, lordosis, and various
other spinal conditions.
Monitoring Growth in Pediatric Patients
Longboard X-rays are crucial for tracking changes in spinal curvature in
growing children, especially those with scoliosis or other spinal conditions.
This helps guide treatment decisions, such as bracing or surgery.
