Philosophy
Non-surgical care always comes first. Most back and neck problems improve with physical therapy, medications, activity modification and, when needed, spinal injections. Surgery is reserved for when those interventions haven’t worked, or a nerve or the spinal cord is truly at risk. If surgery is needed, I match the procedure to your anatomy, using the least invasive operation that will fully treat the problem.
Precision Tools, Smaller Incisions.
“We always look at the MRI and imaging together. My patients leave the office knowing what is causing their pain and why a particular treatment will work.”
Dr. Robert J. Ames is a fellowship-trained orthopedic spine surgeon at Virtua Reconstructive Orthopaedics. Conservative care, physical therapy, medications and injections always come first; surgery is reserved for when those interventions haven't worked. The least invasive operation that will fully treat the problem is chosen, as a last resort.
