Expert Spine Surgery That Restores Comfort and Mobility
Spine pain affects more than just movement. Whether caused by a herniated disc, nerve compression, or degenerative changes, spine conditions can interfere with walking, sleeping, working, and everyday life. At Michigan Orthopedic Center in Lansing, MI, our fellowship-trained orthopedic spine surgeons provide specialized care for back and neck problems that require precise diagnosis and expert intervention.
We focus on identifying the source of your pain and delivering surgical solutions that help you move confidently and comfortably again.
Why Prompt Evaluation Is Critical for Spine Conditions
Delaying spine care can lead to worsening symptoms and long-term nerve damage. Our surgeons recommend early evaluation for anyone experiencing persistent or worsening pain, especially when it affects mobility, coordination, or sensation.
Without treatment, spinal issues may cause:
- Progressive weakness or numbness in the limbs
- Difficulty standing, walking, or maintaining balance
- Chronic pain that limits activity and independence
- Nerve damage that may become permanent
Timely surgical assessment allows us to intervene before complications become harder to treat.

Conditions Our Spine Surgeons Treat
We treat a full range of spinal conditions that may require surgical correction or stabilization, including:
- Herniated discs – bulging or ruptured discs that irritate nearby nerves
- Spinal stenosis – narrowing of the spinal canal causing pressure on the spinal cord
- Degenerative disc disease – age-related wear that leads to instability or pain
- Scoliosis – abnormal spine curvature that may require surgical alignment
- Spinal fractures – vertebral breaks due to trauma or osteoporosis
- Nerve compression – conditions that cause radiating pain, tingling, or weakness
Signs That May Indicate a Surgical Spine Condition
You should seek a spine evaluation if you experience:
- Ongoing back or neck pain that does not improve
- Tingling or numbness in the arms, legs, hands, or feet
- Weakness that affects walking, lifting, or grip
- Balance issues or frequent falls
- Shooting pain down the limbs
- Changes in bladder or bowel control (urgent medical attention required)
These symptoms often point to spinal problems that require more than rest or medication.
Our Surgical Approach to Spine Care
We begin with a full clinical exam and imaging to determine the source of your pain. If conservative care has already been attempted or is unlikely to provide relief, our surgeons develop a personalized surgical plan based on your condition and goals.
Common spine procedures we offer include:
- Discectomy to remove damaged disc material
- Spinal decompression to relieve nerve pressure
- Spinal fusion to stabilize and realign the spine
- Minimally invasive spine surgery to reduce recovery time and surgical impact
If surgery is performed, patients may receive additional support during recovery, including guided rehabilitation to promote safe movement and long-term strength.
