Spine surgery includes any procedure performed on the spine. Dr. Myers and Dr. Levene are board-certified spine surgeons and experts at spine surgery.
When possible, the surgeons perform minimally invasive spine surgery to limit the size of your incisions, minimize your post-surgical pain, and reduce your recovery time.
When you visit Spine Solutions for a spine surgery consultation, your surgeon conducts a comprehensive history and physical to fully understand your spine condition.

Spine Solutions is a state-of-the-art practice that specializes in spine surgery. Dr. Myers and Dr. Levene perform many spine procedures, such as:
During a minimally invasive lumbar discectomy, the surgeons use specialized tools and techniques to remove a damaged disc from your lumbar spine.
After removing your damaged disc, your surgeon may replace it with an artificial disc.
For a lumbar laminectomy, your spine surgeon removes some of your vertebral bone to ease pressure on the spinal nerves in your lumbar spine.
For a spinal fusion, your surgeon uses a bone graft or bone grafting material to join two or more vertebrae to stop painful movements.
For an ALIF, your surgeon removes damaged discs from your lumbar spine and performs a spinal fusion.
A TLIF is a spinal fusion procedure where your surgeon approaches your spine from the back.
During a cervical corpectomy, your spine surgeon removes the front portion of one or more of the vertebral bones in your cervical spine (neck) and then fuses those bones.
The lumbar interspinous spacer is one of the latest treatment options for spinal stenosis. It’s a device that improves spacing in the narrowed spinal canal.
An ACDF is a spine surgery that removes damaged portions of the vertebral bones and discs in your cervical spine (neck) and fuses those bones.
