The cervical spine supports the head, protects the The cervical spine supports the head, protects the spinal cord, and allows for stable movement. When deformities develop—whether from degeneration, trauma, surgery, or congenital conditions—they can disrupt alignment and put pressure on nerves.

Without treatment, cervical spine deformities can cause chronic pain, numbness, weakness, and balance issues. Early evaluation is key. Dr. Smith’s team uses advanced diagnostics and personalized care to stabilize the spine, relieve pressure, and restore function.

Total Disc Replacement (TDR) is a cutting-edge sol Total Disc Replacement (TDR) is a cutting-edge solution for patients suffering from chronic disc-related back or neck pain. Unlike spinal fusion, which eliminates motion at the affected level, TDR replaces the damaged disc with an artificial one designed to preserve natural movement and reduce stress on adjacent spinal segments. 

This motion-preserving option is ideal for certain patients with degenerative disc disease who want to maintain flexibility and reduce the long-term risks of spinal stiffness. Our team evaluates every case carefully to determine if TDR is the right fit—because preserving your spine’s function and quality of life is always the goal.

Cervical spine deformities affect the alignment of Cervical spine deformities affect the alignment of the vertebrae in your neck, which can disrupt nerve function, cause persistent pain, and even impair mobility or balance. These deformities often stem from degenerative conditions, trauma, or previous surgeries and can progress over time if not addressed. Because the cervical spine is so close to the brainstem and spinal cord, even small changes in alignment can have significant impacts on your daily life. That’s why a precise diagnosis and expert care are essential. If you’re experiencing neck pain, stiffness, or neurological symptoms, it's worth looking deeper.

XLIF, or Extreme Lateral Interbody Fusion, is a mi XLIF, or Extreme Lateral Interbody Fusion, is a minimally invasive spine surgery that allows us to access the spine from the side of the body—avoiding major muscles in the back and reducing overall tissue disruption. This technique is particularly effective for treating degenerative disc disease, scoliosis, and spinal instability, especially in the lumbar spine. 

Because of its lateral approach, patients often experience less blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and quicker recovery times compared to traditional open surgeries. If you’ve been told you need spinal fusion, XLIF could be a safer, faster option worth exploring. Ask us if you’re a candidate, or visit the link in bio to learn more about XLIF.

Kyphosis is more than just a slouch or bad posture Kyphosis is more than just a slouch or bad posture—it’s a condition where the spine curves forward excessively, most commonly in the upper back. This spinal deformity can develop due to poor posture, spinal fractures, degenerative diseases, or congenital issues. In mild cases, it might only affect appearance, but more severe cases can lead to chronic pain, stiffness, and even difficulty
