This includes advanced treatments for cervical and lumbar disc herniations and lumbar spinal stenosis. In addition, our neurosurgeons take care of complex degenerative spinal conditions, such as adult spinal deformity and scoliosis. We have specific expertise in the management of spine and spinal cord disorders, and also treat spine fractures and spinal cord injuries.
The Neurosurgery faculty of the Clinical Neurosciences Center offers a wide range of treatments, which includes both non-surgical and surgical options. In our outpatient Spine Clinic, we also offer chiropractic services to support a holistic approach to care.
In addition to traditional open and complex spinal fusion procedures, our spine neurosurgeons offer several specialized procedures not widely available in the region, including:
• Minimally invasive spine surgery
• Microscopic spine surgery
• Endoscopic spine surgery
• Motion preservation surgery
• Lumbar disc replacement/ arthroplasty
• Dynamic stabilization
Our neurosurgeons practice within the new Clinical Neurosciences Center at the University of Utah, and are faculty within the Department of Neurosurgery. Not only do they provide cutting-edge clinical care, but they also participate in clinical trials and several have developed new techniques and devices for the care of patients with spinal diseases and spinal disorders.
