Spinal News

Spine Procedures - We perform two spine procedures in-house and have experts in two other out-patient spine procedures. Our in-house, spine-related procedures are Mild® and kyphoplasty, and our outpatient procedures are endoscopic spinal decompression and interlaminar decompression and stabilization.

• • • Mild® is a procedure that treats lumbar spinal stenosis. That is a narrowing of the space around the spinal nerves in your lower back. The Mild® procedure makes more room for these nerves, relieving painful compression.
    • Kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that repairs a vertebral compression fracture. It helps restore the spine's natural shape.
    • Endoscopic spinal decompression is a minimally invasive procedure that can alleviate back pain caused by pressure on the spinal cord and nerves.
    • Interlaminar decompression and stabilization is a minimally invasive procedure that opens up spinal stenosis and can help stabilize the spine.

You can consult our spine and pain team about these procedures to see which is right for you.

Knee Replacement News

A quadriceps-sparing knee replacement can cause less pain and speed recovery. Instead of splitting the quadriceps tendon, it is just moved to the side. Schedule a consultation to see if this may be appropriate for your condition.
