Spine & Neck
When it comes to stiffness and soreness along the spine, you’re not alone. Back and neck pain are some of the most common causes of missed work days. You may even be experiencing extremely uncomfortable muscle spasms and difficulty using your full range of motion.
Our Spine Center is staffed with three highly skilled spine surgeons who specialize in helping regain back and neck comfort through personalized treatment plans. We keep your goals in mind as we explore potential options. Oftentimes, successful treatment does not include surgery. However, in the event that surgery becomes a viable solution, their expertise and ongoing training will provide you with the most advanced surgical care available today and leave you with the best possible outcome.
St. Cloud Orthopedics routinely treats all orthopedic conditions affecting the spine, including trauma, fractures, arthritis, osteoporosis, scoliosis, and tumors. We’re able to provide the treatment you need with the highest level of quality, right here in Central Minnesota.
Evaluation and Treatment
Our spine specialists will work with you and your physician to develop a personal treatment plan and set goals to meet your therapeutic needs. Your personal lifestyle, goals, and occupation are all taken into consideration when setting up your treatment program.
Your treatment could include (but is not limited to) the following procedures:
- Minimally-invasive cervical and lumbar techniques (non-surgical)
- Motion-sparing surgery, such as artificial disc replacement
- Complex revision spine surgery
- Innovative surgical techniques for spinal tumors
- Computerized 3-D surgery
It is important to our specialists that you are a part of the decision-making process. At your appointment, please feel free to ask any questions you many have.
