His specialties include minimally invasive treatment of adult spine conditions. These conditions include degenerative issues such as arthritis, disc degeneration, disc herniations, and spinal stenosis; minimally invasive disc fusions; kyphoplasty; treatment of orthopedic trauma such as with auto accidents, trivial trauma involving fragility fractures in the elderly and osteoporosis; and pain management, including spinal injections and epidural injections.
