Individual Care With The latest Advances In Medicine
Spine surgery done the “classic” way is traditionally done with an open approach, meaning that the surgical area being operated on is opened with a long incision to allow full view and access to the anatomy by the surgeon. In the past recent years, there have been advances in technology that have allowed spinal conditions to be treated with the minimally invasive spinal surgery (MISS) approach.Dr. Brusovanik Helps CBS4's Eliott Rodriguez Without Surgery 2

PATIENT TESTIMONIAL

Dear Dr. Brusonavik and Staff,

I want to thank you for being the most respectable, professional and caring medical team I have ever encountered. Every person in your office played a vital role in making me feel comfortable and cared for. I was referred to Dr. Brusonavik by a friend, Miki Davis, who knew I needed to see the best spine surgeon…and that is the exact direction she sent me. I have already had a previous spine operation at a different hospital in 2005, therefore I knew the importance of doing my research on the doctor as well as the staff. I did just that and was pleased right away. After visiting Dr. Brusovanik and showing him my CT scan, MRI and X-rays it was determined that I needed a minimally invasive surgery. Surgery was necessary to relieve the horrible pain that traveled down both arms into my hands as well as the continuous numbness. I had a total disc replacement with fusion on C6-C7 on February 17th, 2015 at Doctors Hospital. When I woke up from surgery I was smiling. The pain down my arms was gone! The feeling in my hands was back! And the pain from the surgery itself was very little. I was back to work in 10 days and back in the gym in less than 20 days. I have full mobility and couldn’t be happier.

Let me take another minute to tell you about the amazing staff….INCREDIBLE! They knew me by name and treated me like family. And Daisy, I just adore her. She made sure that finances weren’t going to deter me from receiving the best care. I could go on and on and on….my advice to someone having any discomfort that restricts you from your daily life activities…don’t waist anymore time being uncomfortable! Take the next step and see the best team!
Thank you!!!!!!

Pain After Neck surgery

Pain after neck surgery is common especially when patients have a fusion surgery. Keep in mind that 25% of patients who have a cervical fusion will end up having what’s called adjacent level disease or a problem above or below the fusion. And I see a lot of patients like this, and the good news is that the technology has improved, and these patients can get better with a simple disc replacement above or below the fusion. Thereby you avoid limiting any more of their motion, take away neurological compression, take away their pain and get these patients back to normal life.

If you are experiencing pain and discomfort after a recent neck surgery use our online assessment tool so that we can help you get on the path to a full recovery.

The Consequences of Failed Back Surgery
Failed back surgery is a common and often devastating problem for many people who have undergone spine surgery. This term refers to a situation where the surgery does not provide the expected relief from pain or improve a person’s function. Failed back surgery can have a number of causes, including inadequate surgical planning, incorrect diagnosis, or improper surgical technique. These factors can lead to poor surgical outcomes and contribute to the failure of the surgery.

The consequences of failed back surgery can be severe. Many people who experience failed back surgery continue to experience chronic pain, reduced mobility, and emotional distress. These consequences can impact a person’s quality of life and their ability to function normally. In some cases, failed back surgery can even lead to depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues.
Fortunately, there are treatment options available for people who have experienced failed back surgery. These options can help alleviate pain and improve function, and may include medications, physical therapy, or additional surgery. It’s important to work with a healthcare provider to determine the best treatment plan for each individual. The risks and benefits of each option should be carefully considered before making a decision.
