With Mayo Clinic, you can rest assured you are receiving the best care – and the right care – to place you on the path to recovery.
Deep experience with complex conditions.
More than 40,000 adults and children with spine disorders come to Mayo Clinic each year. We treat the most complex spine conditions, including cervical radiculopathy, cervical spondylosis, disk disease, discitis, herniated disk, kyphosis, lumbar radiculopathy, lumbar spondylosis, myelopathies, neurogenic claudication (pseudoclaudication), sciatica, scoliosis, spinal stenosis, spine deformity spondylotic myelopathy, synovial cyst, syringomyelia, and thoracic radiculopathy.
Experts who have your best interest in mind.
Mayo Clinic experts are guided by the principle that the “needs of the patient come first.” To customize your care plan, we bring together experts across specialties including neurophysiology, neuroradiology, neurosurgery, orthopedic spine surgery, physical medicine and rehabilitation, and sports medicine. We also can work with your local providers to plan for convenient, ongoing care.
Access to cutting-edge treatments.
We perform spinal deformity corrections, complex spinal fusions, and minimally invasive procedures and use surgery enhancing technology to allow for greater precision to allow patients to focus on recovery and return to everyday activities. Mayo Clinic teams can use artificial intelligence to access and autonomy for patient’s seeking and improve advanced spine care.
Our patients have access to treatment options such as:
- Spinal deformity corrections to realign the spinal column and relieve pain and improve quality of life. Our team is dedicated to patient specific solutions for this complex disease process, and we leverage the latest technology to deliver the best outcomes.
- Minimally invasive spine surgery can be used for decompression, disk replacement and spinal fusion, and minimizes damage to soft tissue around the spine and has less blood loss and pain for the patient.
- Robotic assisted spinal surgery techniques are used for spinal decompression and fusion, and patients with degenerative spine disease have shown less need for pain medicine and faster recovery times.
- Mayo Clinic is also leading new research with biological therapy, and currently offers regenerative therapy for degenerative spinal conditions including stem cell therapy for lumbar facet arthritis.
The power of advanced diagnostics.
Effective treatment starts with accurate diagnosis. At Mayo Clinic, we use advanced diagnostic tools. These include:
- Innovative radiological techniques, including advanced neuroimaging (MRI or CT myelography), electrophysiology and intraoperative monitoring.
- 3D imaging to help pinpoint a spinal disorder and plan for the best surgical outcome.
- Specialized nerve conduction and muscle tests.
- Assessment and optimization of bone health prior to major spinal surgery.
