Spine care
Spine specialists, who can be orthopedists or neurosurgeons, diagnose and treat injuries, trauma and diseases related to the spine. Spine care doctors also offer care for herniated discs, nerve damage, sciatica, neck pain or chronic back pain.

Spine treatments
After making a definitive diagnosis by using advanced imaging tests, we may prescribe muscle relaxants and rest to help minimize pain. This is typically followed by a period of light activity or physical therapy.
When nonsurgical methods prove ineffective, the spine program at our hospital moves to surgical procedures. We will prepare you for your surgery and guide you through each stage of care.
Augmented reality (AR)
One of our main treatments is AR-guided spine surgery, and we were the first hospital in the Las Vegas area to offer this groundbreaking technique.
This method gives our surgeons the ability to “see” your spine through your skin in 3D imaging. Our surgeons control a robotic tool that allows them to create smaller incisions in comparison to traditional methods. The approach gives specialists greater precision and accuracy, and can lead to easier, faster and safer surgeries.
