The spine is a complex structure that provides mobility and strength. Proper functioning of the neck and back allows for fluid, effortless movement. But, when there is a deformity, injury, or disease of the spine, common activities such as turning, bending, or stretching become painful.
More than 80 percent of adults will experience significant back or neck pain at some time during their lives. The Orthopaedic Associates of Wisconsin spine team performs hundreds of surgeries annually. We are one of the most trusted names for back and spinal care in the region.
I traveled from Madison to see Dr. Nolte. Dr. Nolte has explained things well and has generally been kind, compassionate and given me whatever time I needed for explanations. He was never in a rush to do surgery and suggested alternative means of treatment first. Dr. Nolte performed a two level anterior discectomy and fusion. My neck and arm pain were gone when I woke up from surgery. I was off narcotics by the end of the second day and eating solids by day three. This has been vastly easier than I was led to believe by patients who had this procedure done elsewhere. AT 7 weeks out I am still healing but functioning very well and able to do pretty much all of my daily routines. He has been a refreshing pleasure to work with and I recommend him highly.
