Advanced, Team-Based Care for Cervical Spine Damage

When wear and tear on your spine gives you neck pain, our team delivers the care and treatment you need. Our renowned spine surgeons use anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion to reduce neck pain and strengthen your cervical spine. A corpectomy removes damaged vertebrae from your neck. To stabilize your spine, we implant and fuse together bone grafts or a metal cage filled with bone graft material.

As you heal, new bone will grow on the implant, which strengthens your spine. Your doctors work with occupational and physical therapists to help you rebuild your strength. Our team of spine specialists will be by your side from treatment to recovery.
