The spine surgeons at First State Orthopaedics provide specialty experience and treatment for the common and complex cervical, thoracic, and lumbar disorders. Our fellowship trained spine surgeons emphasize non-operative treatment and only use surgery as a last resort. They will use minimally invasive techniques to allow for less pain and a faster recovery. Our treatment plan focuses on an accurate diagnosis of the source of a patient’s pain. This strategy, combined with many techniques, enable many of our spine patients to achieve excellent results. Our spine team is at the forefront of outpatient spine procedures, including total disc replacement. These minimally invasive techniques, combined with the expertise of the First State Surgery Center, now allow patients to recover in their own homes in less pain. The First State Orthopaedics spine team offers a full range of treatment for degenerative and traumatic conditions, including: 

  • Lumbar and cervical total disc replacement 
  • Cervical discectomy and fusion 
  • Lumbar discectomy and fusion 
  • Minimally invasive techniques for cervical and lumbar surgery 
  • Rehabilitation management of the injured worker 
  • We also offer a wide array of nonoperative treatment techniques, including injections, physical therapy, and bracing.
