Summary

Dr. Shamieh is a hometown boy who grew up in Louisiana, played tennis for the top-ranked LSU Tigers and received his medical degree/Orthopaedic training from LSU-Shreveport. He has been trained and licensed in Total Disc Replacements of the cervical and lumbar spines. He is a member of the North American Spine Society and the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.

Dr. Shamieh’s specialty is operative treatment of spinal disorders including, but not limited to:

• sciatica
• herniated discs
• neck or back pain
• degenerative disc disease
• stenosis
• vertebral compression fractures
• spinal trauma
• sports related spine issues
• spondylolisthesis
• scoliosis
Minimally invasive surgery means patients experience dramatically smaller incisions, significantly less pain, minimal blood loss, shorter hospital stays and faster recovery. As the only Northshore Group performing MIS Procedures, Dr. Shamieh and DISC of Louisiana now offers patients across South Louisiana less-invasive surgical options.

Less pain means less demand for narcotics. Reduced blood loss means fewer transfusions. And, unlike traditional open surgery, extensive rehab is rarely needed after a minimally invasive procedure.
Dr. Shamieh, and the Team of MIS Specialists at DISC of Louisiana, are now seeing patients at clinics in Baton Rouge, Hammond, Covington, Slidell and Metairie.
