Treatment for Back & Neck

Some common conditions, such as herniated discs or pinched nerves due to bone spurs, may ultimately require surgery. In those cases, Stephen Ozanne, MD, FAAOS, may perform one of the following minimally invasive spine surgery procedures:

• Microdiscectomy for herniated disc
• Microscopic decompression for spinal stenosis (hemilaminotomy/foraminotomy, partial laminectomy sparing midline structures)
• Anterior cervical discectomy & fusion for herniated disc & stenosis
• Lumbar fusion for spondylolisthesis

Although Dr. Ozanne is an exceptional surgeon, most of his treatment focuses on nonsurgical options. He spends plenty of time with patients. His mission is to provide compassionate, quality, state-of-the-art spine care and his goal is making life better, one back at a time.

Our primary goal of treatment is to get you back to your everyday activities as quickly and safely as possible. During your initial visit, Dr. Ozanne will assess your medical history and collect more specific information. He may gently move your joints and limbs to better understand your back or neck problem. He may also use X-rays, MRIs, CT scans, pain-relieving injections or myelograms for diagnosis.

Years ago, doctors treated back pain with bed rest and heavy drugs. Patients became sedentary and increasingly dependent on drugs. It has since been discovered that this treatment was actually damaging the back because it weakened muscles and caused more pain, making recovery more difficult.
