Spine

Back or spine injuries are the most common musculoskeletal problems. According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 8 out of 10 people will experience back pain at some point in their lives.

Proper functioning of the back is critical to many activities of daily living. Actions such as turning, bending, standing and lifting cannot be accomplished without the use of the back and spine. Pain in the back can reduce quality of life, diminish work capacity and restrict activity.

The spine is a complex structure of vertebra, disks, spinal cord and nerves. Dr. Tony Tannoury, our orthopaedic spine surgeon, is a fellowship-trained surgeon with experience in all adult spine conditions. Exceptional patient care is our number one priority, with a particular focus on accurate diagnosis followed by appropriate surgical or nonsurgical treatment. Our philosophy is based on balancing the advantages of cutting-edge technology, such as disc replacement and minimally invasive techniques, with more well-known, standard procedures in order to develop a treatment plan that is specifically tailored to the individual patient.

Dr. Tannoury treats all spine conditions, including:

Adult scoliosis
Fracture of the thoracic and lumbar spine
Low back pain
Spinal stenosis
Spondylolsis and spondylolisthesis
Spinal Fusion
Kyphoplasty
