At FOCOS Hospital in Ghana, children preparing for

At FOCOS Hospital in Ghana, children preparing for or recovering from surgery often spend weeks or months away from home. While they heal, FOCOS makes sure their education continues by running a school right inside the hospital.
This fall, we’re bringing supplies with us on our Medical Mission Trip to support these young students. Crayons, books, puzzles, paper—small items that mean the world to kids eager to keep learning.

These missions are about more than what happens in the operating room. They’re about compassion in action—listening to each patient’s story, sharing our expertise, and equipping local care teams with tools and training for the future.

As we prepare for Ghana, we’re reminded why we go: to bring relief, restore dignity, and create lasting change.

Meet our patient, Victoria. She is a sports therap

Meet our patient, Victoria. She is a sports therapist, who came to us with a history of previous spine surgeries. She has always been active from a very young age and into her profession. Her symptoms were severe pain with numbness and paresthesias, which prohibited her from her normal activities. She underwent an anterior fusion of L5 – S1 and total disc replacement L4 – L5 March 2025. She is now back to her active lifestyle hiking Mt. Jacinto.

Victoria’s advice to other patients: “Being in the best shape with as much strength, fitness, and mobility as possible before surgery has really helped me optimize my recovery and get back to doing everything I love in an unbelievably short time, exceeding even my own expectations – I’m delighted! Dr. Jeremy Smith and your amazing team, you have changed my life, thank you!”

Recovery is never one-size-fits-all. It’s a journey filled with questions, small victories, and steady progress. We’re here for every step—and we’re incredibly grateful when patients share how their care with us made a difference in their life.

Total Disc Replacement (TDR) offers motion-preserv

Total Disc Replacement (TDR) offers motion-preserving relief for patients with disc-related pain. Instead of fusing vertebrae together, a synthetic disc is implanted to maintain flexibility. It’s a highly effective option for select patients with cervical or lumbar disc degeneration who want to maintain spinal motion and avoid fusion.

Find out if TDR is right for you at the link in the bio.

When previous spinal surgery doesn’t resolve symptoms—or creates new complications—revision surgery may be the next step. Dr. Smith is experienced in evaluating failed fusions, correcting alignment, and stabilizing the spine with precision and care. If you're still dealing with pain after surgery, there are options.

When a spinal fusion doesn’t heal correctly, it’s called pseudarthrosis. This can lead to persistent pain, hardware failure, or spinal instability. Revision surgery is often necessary to restore function and relieve symptoms. Dr. Smith specializes in correcting complex spinal fusions using advanced surgical techniques.

Cervical kyphosis is a condition where the neck curves too far forward, sometimes resulting in chronic pain, balance issues, or even nerve compression. It may stem from degenerative changes, prior surgery, or congenital issues. With early diagnosis and targeted treatment, long-term outcomes can improve significantly.

In this video, Dr. Smith discusses how stem cell therapy is being studied as a means to preserve or improve the quality of spinal discs. While it’s not a replacement for surgical options like disc replacement, it may offer potential benefits in slowing disc degeneration and supporting healing in the right cases.
