Spine and Spinal Cord Surgery

Baystate Health neurosurgeons work closely with you to determine the safest and most effective treatment for your spine condition.

Whether you are coming to us with low back pain, sciatica, neck pain or pinched nerves, rest assured that we will always consider conservative, non-invasive options.

Comprehensive Approach to Spine Care

Many people who come to us with back or neck problems will benefit from physical therapy, steroid injections, or other nonsurgical treatment methods. That’s why we work closely with specialists in physiatry, physical therapy, orthopedics, and pain management.

Minimally Invasive Surgical Techniques

When surgery is necessary, we use the latest and most minimally invasive techniques and devices. Our primary goal is to treat you in a way that leads to a fast recovery and few complications.

Baystate surgeons were the first to introduce many advanced procedures to the region, such as minimally invasive transforaminal interbody fusion (TLIF).

You may be a candidate for spine surgery if you are diagnosed with one of these conditions:

• Degenerative spine disease
• Herniated disc
• Spinal cord injury or disease
• Spinal tumor
• Spinal stenosis
• Spondylolisthesis
