Our Approach to Care

Our personalized care allows our Och Spine physicians to determine the most appropriate non-surgical or surgical approach to achieve optimal results.

• Advanced spinal imaging. Our Och Spine specialists and dedicated clinical team use advanced imaging capabilities to perform a host of non-surgical and surgical treatments with greater precision.
  • Brainlab Spine Navigation combines state-of-the-art, touch screen image control, with best-in-class methods for image-guided surgery. This technology in spine navigation enables accurate pedicle screw placement as well as dramatic reduction of X-Ray exposure to the surgical team and the patient. This can be used in a variety of spine procedures, including: cervical, thoracic and lumbar surgery, tumor treatment and deformity surgery planning and visualization.
• Treatment without surgery. Many disorders of the neck and back can be treated without an operation. We determine if nonsurgical treatment could be an effective option for you before resorting to surgery during your evaluation.
• Specialized spine surgery. Our internationally renowned orthopedic surgeons and neurosurgeons use minimally invasive techniques wherever appropriate and also perform the most complex spinal reconstructions — all with extraordinary precision.
