Procedures for cervical disc herniation, radiating arm pain, numbness, and neck-related nerve compression.
An artificial disc replaces the damaged cervical disc instead of fusing the two vertebrae together, relieving nerve pressure while preserving motion at the treated level. Performed through a small incision at the front of the neck.
The damaged disc is removed through the front of the neck and the space is filled with a spacer that allows the vertebrae to fuse into a single, stable segment. A proven option when disc replacement is not appropriate.
Performed by Dr. Felix only.
A needle-sized probe removes a small amount of disc material to reduce pressure inside a contained cervical disc herniation. No incision, no implant, and typically same-day discharge.
Procedures for lumbar disc herniation, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, and low back pain.
A worn lumbar disc is replaced with a mobile implant that maintains movement in the lower back, offering an alternative to fusion for selected patients with single-level degenerative disc disease.
The spine is approached from the front of the abdomen, allowing removal of the damaged disc and placement of a large implant that restores disc height and spinal alignment while sparing the back muscles.
Under live imaging, a small probe is guided into the herniated lumbar disc and gently removes disc material to decompress the nerve. An outpatient option for contained herniations that have not responded to injections.
Image-guided injections used both to pinpoint the source of your pain and to treat it.
A small amount of numbing medication is placed along the medial branch nerves that carry pain signals from the facet joints. If your pain drops significantly, those joints are confirmed as the source and longer-lasting radiofrequency treatment becomes an option.
Steroid and anesthetic are delivered directly into an inflamed facet joint in the neck or back to calm arthritic pain and improve how far you can bend and turn. Takes minutes and requires no downtime.
Anti-inflammatory medication is placed in the epidural space next to an irritated nerve root to relieve radiating arm or leg pain from a disc herniation or stenosis.
Ultrasound-guided injections for the shoulder, hip, knee, and other joints, including platelet-rich plasma drawn from your own blood and concentrated to support the body’s repair response.
