Spine Care
Most everyone suffers from back or neck pain at some point in their life. Whether it's short lived or chronic, the effects can have a huge impact on how you feel and live. Neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons on the medical staff at Northwest Health - Porter can help you get back on track. They're skilled in minimally invasive techniques for even complex procedures like kyphoplasty (fracture repair), lumbar disc microsurgery and spinal fusion. For you, that may mean less pain, a shorter hospital stay and quicker return to the life you love.
