Atención de la columna vertebral
Los médicos de columna vertebral, que pueden ser ortopedistas o neurocirujanos, diagnostican y tratan problemas relacionados con la columna vertebral. Estos profesionales pueden ayudar con el tratamiento del dolor de cuello y espalda, así como con el tratamiento de lesiones, traumatismos y enfermedades relacionadas con la columna vertebral. Es posible que deba ver a un especialista en columna vertebral si tiene hernia de disco, daño en los nervios, dolor en el nervio ciático o dolor de espalda crónico.

Spine surgery
Your doctor may recommend spine surgery for pain that does not improve through other orthopedic care. Spine surgery is also a treatment option for serious disorders or diseases of the central nervous system and trauma. The procedures our surgeons perform include:
- Cervical foraminotomy — Surgery to widen the area where the spinal nerve roots exit the spinal column
- Discectomy — Removal of the central portion of an intervertebral disc
- Kyphoplasty — Surgery to treat progressive vertebral compression fractures
- Laminectomy — Removal of a portion of the vertebral bone (called the lamina)
Physical therapy and rehabilitation
Physical therapy is an important part of recovery, whether you have just had spine surgery or are recovering from a serious injury. Our physical therapists will go over the ideal exercises and best practices to help you recover.
Neurotherapy is also available through physician therapy services in our wider network of TriStar Health hospitals. This is a form of rehabilitation tailored to conditions affecting the central nervous system.
