Back and Spine
Neurosurgeons with Dominican's Medical Staff are key to solving many serious cases of back pain. These specialists, working with the latest technology available, are integral to Dominican Hospital’s highly regarded Back and Spine Program. We can help you choose the best treatment option, such as:
-
Non-invasive approaches, including physical therapy and medication
-
Minimally invasive surgical approaches, such as spinal injections.
-
Surgery to material in a herniated disc or to add a bone graft or device that stabilizes the spine.
For back or brain surgery, operations were once fraught with risk and entailed long hospital stays and often lengthy, unpleasant recoveries.
Now, Dominican Hospital’s investment in state-of-the-art equipment significantly reduces risk and features shortened recovery time with
minimal pain.
Dominican has had precise, computer-guided technology for neurosurgery since 2000, but recently acquired BrainLab, the most up-to-date
equipment of its kind. BrainLab helps surgeons to more precisely discriminate between healthy tissue and tumors, enabling them to completely remove a tumor without removing healthy tissue
and possibly damaging a person's mobility or speech.
