A spine surgeon is a specialist that diagnoses and treats conditions affecting the spine, which is under the field of orthopedic surgery or neurosurgery. They address issues such as herniated discs, scoliosis, spinal stenosis, fractures, and degenerative diseases. They specialize in surgeries like lumbar decompression, spinal fusion, or minimally invasive procedures to relieve pain, restore mobility, and improve nerve function.
Texas Spine and Neurosurgery is a neurosurgical practice which specializes in the coordination of both surgical and conservative treatment options. We treat herniated discs, spinal stenosis, radiculopathy, spondylolisthesis, spondylosis, pars and many other disorders of the spine and nerves. We are skilled in the use of both microsurgical and minimally invasive procedures on the neck and back.
At Texas Spine and Neurosurgery, we can also do lumbar, thoracic, and cervical discectomies, laminectomies, and fusions. In order to ensure quality, all our partners which provide operative locations must meet our strict standards for excellence. To that end, we both require and provide specific training for staff both inside and outside the operating room. Meeting state-of-the art technological standards with regard to equipment, procedures and protocols is a requirement for all centers before becoming a TSN partner.
Whenever possible, the patient should always consider conservative treatment before surgery. At Texas Spine and Neurosurgery, we coordinate with high quality local providers. And we help to oversee and coordinate care, including but not limited to pain management, physical therapy, and more. Above all, our philosophy allows and encourages patients to try the least invasive treatment before progressing to more invasive therapies.
At Texas Spine & Neurosurgery, we specialize in the treatment of disorders of the spine and peripheral nerves, but our primary goal is to help stop the suffering associated with these disorders.
