A Comprehensive Spine Center

Picture
The spine surgeons of Carolina Neurosurgery & Spine Associates have invented minimally invasive procedures that greatly reduce patient recovery time, have trained and treated other doctors from around the world, and are currently involved in clinical trials that could revolutionize the treatment of spine disorders. While we continue to pioneer the field of spine surgery, we are most proud of the fact that more than half of the patients we evaluate are able to use nonsurgical treatments and avoid surgery.

When it comes to spinal expertise, Carolina Neurosurgery & Spine Associates stands on par with any private or academic group in the nation. Our spine surgeons continue to expand the frontiers of this specialty by developing and putting the latest techniques into practice.
