Spine Services

Advanced, patient-focused care of the spine.
Offering a patient-centered approach to problems associated with the spine, the Saint Thomas Health Services team of orthopedic specialists and therapists offers a wide range of treatment options and therapies designed to help each patient find freedom from pain and a renewed quality of life.

Our primary goal is to offer comprehensive, non-invasive medical treatments whenever possible. In cases where treatment options are exhausted and surgery is deemed the best course, our team of neurosurgeons, consulting medical specialists, therapists, nurses and support staff offer the highest level of care in the region.

Ranked among the top five facilities nation-wide for spinal surgeries, our team utilizes state-of-the-art technologies in the treatment of spinal diseases and injuries such as tumors, herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, arthritis of the spine and vascular malformations.

At the Saint Thomas Brain & Spine Tumor Center, our multi-disciplinary team — specialists in neurology, neurosurgery, medical oncology, radiation oncology, pathology and other cancer and neurological support staff — provides the highest level of individualized, patient-centered care in the Southeast for both malignant and benign brain and spinal cord tumors. Equipped with the state-of-the-art technologies, that allow physicians to use computers to pinpoint tumors and a complete range of treatment alternatives, out team is able to deliver the best hope for the most effective treatment and better quality of life.

The Brain and Spine Tumor Center offers the most accurate and advanced approach to stereostactic radiosurgery and radiotherapy available today: the Novalis Shaped Beam Surgery.
