"In 2013 my daughter tore her labrum in her hip and required a surgical repair. Dr Riley had great bedside manner. He explained the surgery to her, not just to us, making sure we all understood and felt comfortable. The surgery went well, she is healed and back playing soccer. We recently saw Dr Riley as my daughter was having similar pain in her other hip. Once again, Dr Riley spoke directly to my daughter, giving her the opportunity to express what she was feeling. Fortunately for us, this go around seems to be a muscular issue that should resolve with a little PT. Dr Riley is knowledgable, has great bedside manner, a welcoming staff and runs on time! We cannot say enough good things about this Dr. If you need to take your child to an orthopedic, you will be in good hands with Dr Riley."

What is Spine Surgery?

Spinal surgery is the subspecialty that uses surgery to restore the normal function of the spine when things go wrong due to trauma, disease, or other disorders. There are many ways that the spine can begin to hurt or lose the ability to move properly, and surgery is not always necessary. However, when surgery is needed, there's no one more qualified for the job than a spine surgeon.

Spinal surgery can be considered a subspecialty of either orthopedics or neurosurgery. That means that a spine surgeon may take either path to this specific career, training first as either an orthopedist or a neurosurgeon. Orthopedics deals mainly with the structural issues of the back and spine: the bones, muscles, and joints. Neurosurgery deals mainly with issues of the brain, nerves, and spinal cord. So when choosing a spine surgeon, it is sometimes possible that a surgeon's background will have a bearing on someone's particular diagnosis. However, in most cases, it doesn't matter. Either an orthopedist-spine surgeon or a neurosurgeon-spine surgeon can handle the majority of spine surgeries. What is more important is that some spine surgeons specialize in specific areas of the spine, such as lumbar surgery or cervical surgery. In that case, it is important to connect with a surgeon who is experienced with a patient's particular need.

Some of the surgeries performed on the spine include:

Correction of spinal deformities, such as scoliosis
Spinal fusion
Minimally invasive spine surgery, including decompression surgeries such as discectomy and laminectomy
Balloon kyphoplasty, a procedure done to repair compression fractures in vertebrae

The spine is a very complicated piece of the body's machinery, and a very necessary part of movement and function. It holds people up and allows them move. Having a working spine is important, and having a skilled surgeon when spinal surgery is needed is critical.
