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 Want to learn more?

Struggling with chronic back pain from a damaged disc? Total disc replacement (TDR) is an advanced surgical option that replaces the diseased disc with an artificial one, restoring mobility and reducing pain.

Unlike spinal fusion, which limits motion, TDR allows for a more natural range of movement. If you're considering surgery, talk to our team to see if TDR is the right solution for you.

Did you know that scoliosis can curve in different

Did you know that scoliosis can curve in different directions? Levoscoliosis is a spinal curvature that bends to the left, which can impact posture, mobility, and even organ function in severe cases. While some people experience minimal symptoms, others may struggle with back pain, muscle imbalances, and breathing difficulties.

Early diagnosis and the right treatment plan can make all the difference in managing this condition. If you or your child has been diagnosed with levoscoliosis, we’re here to help.
