SPINE and NECK
OAD’s
Spine
Center consists of board certified Spine
Specialists who have vast training and experience in all
facets of neck, spine and cervical spine disorders
including cervical disc replacements.
OAD’s Spine Surgeons are fellowship-trained from
some of the nation’s most prestigious medical facilities
such as Chicago’s Northwestern Memorial Hospital’s
Midwest Regional Spine Trauma Center and
Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke’s Medical Center, and the
Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. Fellowship
training is an additional period of training selected by
physicians wanting to subspecialize in specific areas.
OAD’s Spine Specialists’ extensive fellowship
training, coupled with more than 50 years’ combined
orthopaedic experience, ensure patients receive the most
advanced, expert spine care.
The Spine
Specialists focus on conservative approaches to the
management of back and neck conditions. Areas of specialty
include low back pain, sciatica, cervical and lumbar
degenerative disc disease, cervical and lumbar herniated
discs, stenosis, and spinal deformity. If surgery is
required, OAD’s specialists are extensively trained in
spinal surgery, including the new state-of-the-art
cervical disc replacements. Other procedures include
microsurgery of the lumbar and cervical spine, minimally
invasive surgery, revision and reconstruction of the
spine, discectomies, spinal fusions, and laparoscopic
anterior lumbar spinal fusion with Bone Morphogenetic
Protein (rh-BMP). OAD’s Spine Center is also
involved in a FDA study for a new viscoelastic cervical
disc replacement.
