    Frequently asked questions

  • What are the common symptoms that your patients tend to present with?

    The most common presentation would be lower back pain, neck pain and radicular pain (pain which is radiating either down the arm or down the leg like sciatica).

  • What are the treatments that you're able to offer your patients?

    Investigations for spine are generally MRIs, CT scans, and x-rays.

    In terms of diagnoses, cervical spine, facet joint arthropathy, cervical spine arthritis or spondylosis, disc prolapsed, cervical radiculopathy causing arm pain – brachialgia and radicular pain.

    And the type of surgery that I would do in the neck would be cervical spine facet joint injections, cervical spine nerve root injections, anterior cervical spine surgery (ACDS), anterior cervical discectomy and fusion and cervical spine disc replacements, and posterior cervical spine surgery.

    I do thoracic spine decompressions and thoracic spine injections and lumbar spine injections, decompressions, microdiscectomy, MIS fusion, TLIFs, MIS sacroiliac joint fusions, among others.

  • What are your areas of sub-specialist interest?

    Degenerative spine conditions, disc prolapses, spinal stenosis, minimally invasive surgery (MIS), MIS fusions, minimally invasive sacroiliac joint fusions and TLIF fusions (transforaminal lumbar interbody fusions).
