This is referred to as the cervical area of the spine.

Cervical Radiculopathy - This condition occurs when a nerve root in the cervical spine becomes compressed or irritated.

Disc Herniation - This is the protrusion or rupture of a cervical disc.

Spondylosis - This condition involves the degeneration of the cervical spine's discs, joints, and ligaments.

Spinal Stenosis - Occurs when the spinal canal in the cervical spine narrows, putting pressure on the spinal cord and nerves.

Cervical Fractures - These are breaks or cracks in the bones of the cervical spine, often resulting from traumatic injuries.

Shoulder

Cervical Radiculopathy - The compression or irritation of nerve roots in the cervical spine (neck region). This can cause pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness that radiates through the shoulder, down the arms, and into the hands.

Herniated Disc - When a disc in the cervical spine ruptures or bulges, it can put pressure on nearby nerves, leading to shoulder pain, numbness, and weakness.

Scoliosis - Severe cases of scoliosis, an abnormal curvature of the spine, can cause spinal imbalances and postural changes. These imbalances can affect the alignment of the shoulders, resulting in shoulder pain and discomfort.

Osteoarthritis - Osteoarthritis in the cervical spine can cause degeneration and inflammation of the facet joints, leading to neck and shoulder pain. The shoulder may experience referred pain from the affected cervical joints.

Mid-Back

This is referred to as the thoracic region of the spine.

Herniated Disc - This is the protrusion or rupture of a thoracic disc.

Leg Pain? It Could Be Your Spine

Lumbar Microdiscectomy in NJ & NY

Lumbar microdiscectomy is a minimally invasive spine surgery performed to relieve leg pain (sciatica) and back pain caused by a herniated disc in the lower back. Dr. Okubadejo utilizes advanced microsurgical techniques to carefully remove the portion of the disc that is compressing the nerve, providing significant pain relief and improved mobility. This procedure typically results in a faster recovery and smaller incision compared to traditional open spine surgery.

Dr. Okubadejo expertly removes the damaged disc and fuses the adjacent vertebrae to stabilize the spine. This procedure can effectively relieve pain, numbness, and weakness in the neck, shoulder, and arm. Embrace long-lasting relief with the help of a trusted spine specialist, state-of-the-art technology, and unparalleled care.

Minimally Invasive Interventions

Endoscopic Lumbar Rhizotomy in NJ & NY

Endoscopic lumbar rhizotomy is a minimally invasive spine surgery used to treat back pain caused by facet joint pain. Dr. Okubadejo uses an endoscope (a small camera) to precisely target and ablate the nerves that transmit pain signals from the facet joints, delivering long-lasting relief from chronic lumbar pain. This procedure can provide significant pain relief with a shorter recovery time compared to traditional surgery. Explore what’s possible with trusted spine expert Dr. Okubadejo.

A Safer Space

Lumbar Laminectomy in NJ & NY

Lumbar laminectomy is a spine surgery performed to relieve back pain and leg pain caused by spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal). Dr. Okubadejo carefully removes a portion of the bony arch (lamina) to create more space for the spinal cord and nerves, relieving pressure and pain. At the Institute for Comprehensive Spine Care, we utilize the most advanced techniques to minimize downtime and discomfort. Learn more about the benefits of lumbar laminectomy and laser spine surgery with a trusted specialist.

Lasting Relief

Lumbar Endoscopic Discectomy

Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy is a minimally invasive spine surgery that removes part of a herniated disc through a tiny incision in the back. A narrow tube with a camera (endoscope) allows the surgeon to visualize the disc and nearby nerves clearly, while micro-instruments remove the part of the disc pressing on a nerve root.
