Treatments
Most spine problems get better without surgery. When an operation is the right choice, Dr. Wey looks for the smallest one that fixes the problem and favors options that keep your spine moving.
Featured treatments
Motion-preserving surgery
Disc replacement
For the right patient, an artificial disc relieves pain and pressure on the nerves while keeping that part of the spine moving. Dr. Wey uses the prodisc® family of implants for the neck and low back.
