Unlike general orthopedic surgeons, our doctor has advanced training and specializes specifically in surgical treatments of the spine.
A column of 33 vertebrae, the human spine provides support to the body, enables a wide range of movements, and protects the spinal cord – the communication highway between the brain and the peripheral nervous system. When a traumatic injury, degenerative condition, or spinal disorder affects any region of the neck or spine, the resulting pain and discomfort can significantly disrupt mobility and quality of life.
At Modern Orthopaedics of New Jersey, our highly experienced orthopedic spine surgeon possesses the extensive training and expertise to successfully diagnose and treat a broad spectrum of spine-related problems. If you currently live with neck or back pain, contact our clinic to schedule an initial consultation and take the first step toward restored comfort, mobility, and spine function.

The human spine is divided into three primary regions: The cervical spine (neck), thoracic spine (upper back), and lumbar spine (lower back). At Modern Orthopaedics of New Jersey, our spine surgeon focuses on all three regions of the spine, specializing in advanced treatment options for issues ranging from pinched nerves to herniated discs and spinal arthritis.

Common Causes Of Back and Neck Pain
At Modern Orthopaedics of New Jersey, we successfully treat back and neck discomfort stemming from a wide variety of underlying causes. Our areas of expertise include the following:
- Spinal Stenosis – Spinal stenosis is characterized by narrowing of the spinal canal that places pressure on the spinal cord or nerves. Symptoms commonly include pain, numbness, and weakness.
- Herniated Discs – A herniated disc occurs when the soft inner portion of an intervertebral disc is significantly displaced or ruptures through its tough outer layer. While some disc herniations are asymptomatic, common symptoms of the condition include back pain, radiating nerve pain and numbness, and tingling or muscle weakness in the affected extremities.
- Spondylolisthesis – Patients affected by spondylolisthesis experience the forward slipping of one vertebra over the one below it, potentially leading to nerve compression.
- Degenerative Disc Disease – Degenerative disc disease (DDD) involves the breakdown of spinal discs over time. It can lead to pain, reduced flexibility, and nerve irritation.
- Sciatica – Lumbar spinal nerve compression can lead to sciatica, which is characterized by pain, tingling, or numbness along the path of the sciatic nerve (through the buttock and down the leg).
- Osteoarthritis – Arthritis of the spine involves degeneration of the cartilage and underlying bone of the vertebral joints. Common symptoms include pain and stiffness that worsen over time.
