Summary

I treat patients with surgical problems related to the cervical spine (neck), thoracic spine (between the neck and lower back), and lumbar spine (lower back). This includes acute herniated or ruptured or slipped disc, chronic pinched nerve, narrowing of the spinal canal (spinal stenosis), foot drop, limping gait due to lower back problems, acute fracture of the spine (traumatic or due to osteoporosis), and spinal instrumentation (simple or complex)treated either through the abdomen or chest or in front of the neck or approached from behind, or chonic back pain due to disc collapse or degeneration which has not responded to conservative nonsurgical treatments.
