Motion-preserving and reconstructive options for cervical disc herniation, radiating arm pain, and nerve compression.
An artificial disc replaces the damaged cervical disc rather than fusing the vertebrae, relieving nerve pressure while preserving natural movement at the treated level. Performed through a small incision at the front of the neck.
Procedures for lumbar disc degeneration, sciatica, and persistent low back pain.
A worn lumbar disc is replaced with a mobile implant that maintains movement in the lower back, offering an alternative to fusion for selected patients with single-level degenerative disc disease.
The spine is approached from the front of the abdomen, allowing removal of the damaged disc and placement of a large implant that restores disc height and alignment while sparing the back muscles.
An endoscopic, minimally invasive technique that interrupts the small nerves carrying pain signals from arthritic facet joints, providing durable relief for facet-mediated back pain through a tiny entry point.
Performed by Dr. Trinidad only.
Image-guided injections used both to pinpoint the source of your pain and to treat it.
A small amount of numbing medication is placed along the medial branch nerves that carry pain signals from the facet joints. Meaningful relief confirms those joints as the source and opens the door to longer-lasting treatment.
Steroid and anesthetic are delivered directly into an inflamed facet joint in the neck or back to calm arthritic pain and improve how far you can bend and turn. Takes minutes and requires no downtime.
Anti-inflammatory medication is placed in the epidural space next to an irritated nerve root to relieve radiating arm or leg pain from a disc herniation or stenosis.
