Spine Conditions and Animations
Common conditions we treat include spinal deformities like scoliosis and kyphosis, traumatic injuries like compression fractures and herniated discs, degenerative diseases such as arthritis of the spine and cervical stenosis, lower back pain and more.
How We Treat Spine Injuries and Disorders
The first step in understanding your pain and movement issues is to get a clear picture of the problem. Our highly specialized radiologists and neuroradiologists use the most advanced equipment and techniques to ensure an accurate diagnosis, including:
- dynamic X-ray imaging
- high-resolution CT scans
- high-resolution MRI
- EOS imaging (low radiation)
No matter how common or complex your condition, our doctors are committed to conservative care. This means we will only recommend surgery when truly necessary. Our treatments are aimed at supporting your spine, preventing further damage and helping you regain mobility.
People who do need surgery benefit from the vast experience of our innovative spine surgeons. They perform nearly 4,000 procedures each year — the highest volume of any hospital in the country. They are also leading researchers in the field, who have pioneered less invasive procedures for the spine that result in less pain and faster recovery after surgery.
We can help guide you through all aspects of care, from your imaging appointments and physical therapy sessions to any potential spine injections or surgery.
