Motion preservation over fusion! A local RN is back to work less than 1-week post-op from her 2-level artificial disc replacement (ADR). A pinnacle of our practice is to avoid fusion whenever possible, unless absolutely necessary, and preserve motion with ADR.

Not all patients are candidates for ADR. Please call our office at 800-899-0101 or visit www.NSG-LA.com.

Another happy patient. Two-level artificial disc that took approximately 90-minutes in the OR and the patient went home 3 hours post-op. Many Would have fused this patient because of mild kyphosis. Dynamic X-rays we’re very reassuring, and we feel strongly at NSG that this patient’s posture will improve with PT/exercise while maintaining physiologic motion. Avoiding fusion unless absolutely necessary is one of the many goals of our practice.

Minimally invasive scoliosis surgery has truly changed this disease entity for patients of all ages. Using small lateral access techniques (the side of your abdomen) and robotics for the posterior stage (your back) has decreased blood loss, operative times, hospital length of stay, and functional impairments. All of our patients are up and walking post op day 1. If you’re suffering from scoliosis, please call 800-899-0101 to schedule a consultation.

Trigeminal neuralgia is described by patients as one of the worse possible pains anyone can experience. This patient has undergone gamma knife radiation, a prior surgery, and now her medications are causing liver dysfunction. We completed the microvascular decompression (MVD procedure) in just over 2-hours and she’s overjoyed and pain free. Discharged home post-op day 1. In my opinion, this is one of the most beautiful surgeries in neurosurgery, all achieved through a small opening in the skull behind the ear about the size of a quarter.

Motion preservation versus fusion!!! In select patients, multi-level artificial disc surgery is, in our opinion, at the frontiers of the field. Restoring and/or maintaining your spine’s natural kinematics should always be the goal when possible.

Multi-level artificial disc surgery is not right for everyone. If you have questions, please call our office at (800) 899-0101 or email office@NSG-LA.com to schedule either an in-person or virtual consultation.

May Is Correct Posture Month. The Spine Surgeons

May Is Correct Posture Month.

The Spine Surgeons of Neurosurgery & Spine Group (NSG) remind us that sitting and standing with proper alignment improves blood flow, helps keep your nerves and blood vessels healthy, and supports your muscles, ligaments, and tendons.

People who make a habit of using correct posture are less likely to experience related back and neck pain.

For an appointment or consultation, please call: 800-899-0101

Patient Testimonial for Dr. Amir Vokshoor of the Neurosurgery & Spine Group (NSG): “Outstanding in all ways!
My minimally invasive micro-decompression and laminotomy surgery was a great success.
Dr. Vokshoor is punctual, spends the time to explain and discuss options, and does NOT suffer from the God/Surgeon Syndrome.
This is a person that you can trust to have your interests at heart.
The results could not have been better. Thank you Dr. Vokshoor!"
