Procedures & Services
Cranial Procedures
We provide compassionate surgical services for patients with Chiari malformation.
- Posterior fossa decompression (Chiari)
Pain Procedures
We can offer surgical options to help many patients with intractable pain syndromes. Working closely with a Pain Management Physician, we can offer traditional medical management or minimally invasive surgical options.
- Spinal Cord Stimulators
Peripheral Nerve Procedures
We offer skilled care for a number of problems affecting the nerves after they leave the spine, they are often treated surgically on an outpatient basis.
- Carpal tunnel release
- Ulnar nerve decompression or transposition
- Sural nerve biopsy
- Peripheral nerve exploration
- Peripheral nerve tumor removal
Re-Do Spinal Surgery
One of our passions is helping this population of patients who suffer from surgically treatable failed back syndrome. To determine if you may have a treatable issue, after taking a detailed history, we will need a number of diagnostic studies before being able to determine if you have a problem that might be correctable with further surgery.
Back surgery has a very good success rate if the diagnosis that led to it was sound. While many patients will have complete resolution of their symptoms, some will have incomplete results and a few will have residual dysfunction maybe even worsening. These few patients will continue to present with chronic pain even after surgery. Sometimes spinal fusion surgeries fail with patients getting worse instead of better. The reasons for failure may include lack of fusion, broken screws or other hardware, residual or progressive spinal stenosis, and spinal instability among others.
Failed back syndrome is a common name for a condition present in certain patients that have suboptimal results following back surgery. In some cases this leads to a revision spine surgery to correct or improve failed results.
Spinal Procedures
We provide total spine care through percutaneous (procedures through needles that allow for short stays in the hospital and for quick return to regular activity), minimally invasive (requiring a small incision and allowing for quick recovery) and standard open approaches.

- Vertebroplasty
Minimally Invasive
- Discectomy
- Decompression
- Revision surgery of the spine
- Laminectomy/Foraminotomy
- Thoracic or Lumbar fusions
- Fracture reduction and instrumentation
Open
