What is Sports Spine Surgery?

Sports Spine Surgery is focused on modified care to make patients more functional and ready for full activity much sooner than normal care pathways. Patients begin the treatment process in standard fashion with conservative care but if they do need surgery, procedures are developed around your functional life and level of activity.

Two Surgeon Model

Your surgery is performed by both a Neurosurgeon and Orthopedic Spine Surgeon for optimal safety and outcome. The Neurosurgeons will approach the spine and decompress the nerves and spine cord while the Orthopedic Surgeon will perform the fusion. Each surgeon is there during the entire surgery assisting the other with their particular part. Having two surgeons decreases the chances of any errors or problems and decreases the length of surgery.

  • Spinal Fusion

    It is my opinion the best compliment anyone can leave about a surgeon is that I didn’t have to see him or her again. After my spinal fusion which two other doctors told me I would be out of work for at least a year I was able to return to work on a limited basis after 30 days and after 60 days, full duties. The pain to my back that was radiating to my leg were gone. I am able to do everything that I was able to do in my 30’s. I owe it all to Johns abilities. Also his staff was fantastic. No surprises when it came to my co-pay and insurance coverage. They were professional at every step. I highly recommend John. There is no one better.
