WHY CHOOSE MOTION PRESERVATION IN SPINE CARE
A Commitment to Improving Patient Outcomes & the Standard of Spine Care
You shouldn't have to sacrifice when you need to get spine surgery. If you're getting a hip replacement, knee replacement, or ankle replacement, you opt for motion, and we believe the same should be done in spine. With over 20+ years of outcomes data on implants and technologies, motion preservation provides the best alternative for patients seeking to regain their function, movement, and quality of life.
OUR VISION
Our team is dedicated to ensuring that patients have access to the latest and most effective motion-preserving treatments available to get you back to the the highest quality of life you deserve.
Whether it's golfing, trekking through the mountains, walks on the beach or playing with your kids, we're here to get you back to the life you envision. We don't just treat X-rays, through a comprehensive one-on-one exam and detailed medical history, we work together to find the solution that's right for you. If you've been told you need a spinal fusion, are seeking a second opinion, or have higher aspirations of what your life can look like after spine surgery, we're here to help.
OUR TREATMENTS
Delivering Exceptional Motion-Preserving Treatments
Artificial Disc Replacement
Artificial disc replacement surgery (ADR) is a surgical procedure that helps eliminate pain while preserving natural motion in the spine. This procedure removes a degenerated or diseased spinal disc and replaces it with an artificial one. Offered in both the cervical and lumbar spine, ADR helps patients regain their functionality and quality of life.
Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery
Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS) involves small incisions and instrumentation to reduce tissue damage and improve recovery time. MISS can often be done as an outpatient procedure, meaning you can get back home that same day.
Motion Preserving Technologies
The Spine Motion Specialists team is always utilizing the newest technologies to improve patient care. This includes devices and procedures currently undergoing or recently part of US clinical trials, including cervical disc replacements, facet joint replacements, and a novel lumbar total joint replacement to help get you back to the highest possible quality of life.
