Spine Center - Charlotte

At OrthoCarolina’s Spine Center, our fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons specialize – and excel – in one area. Nationally recognized for spinal care, we lead the field in research and in the number of procedures performed, including minimally invasive surgery (MIS). Our physician staff, comprised of eight dedicated spine surgeons and three physiatrists, is committed to providing the highest level of care to patients suffering from pain, numbness or weakness anywhere from the neck to the lower back. Many of the procedures performed are outpatient procedures or allow the patient to go home the following morning. Our spectrum of care ranges from nonsurgical management of spinal disorders to the most complex reconstructive procedures for patients with debilitating conditions making us the best spine care center in the region.

We perform more than 2,000 spine surgeries and nearly 4,000 interventional spine procedures each year.

At OrthoCarolina, we make it our goal to only hire the best spine physicians to care for our patients. In addition to regularly seeing patients, our current physicians are actively involved in research, including the development of spinal implants and bone substitutes, and they are instrumental in teaching these latest techniques to other physicians. Additionally, our physicians often serve as a 2nd opinion option for many patients.

• Adolescent and adult scoliosis
