Our Approach to Treatment

With a focus on conservative care and advanced cervical spine surgery, Dr. Oberlander offers the best treatment for neck pain. From non-invasive neck pain relief options to surgical interventions, when necessary, he provides comprehensive care designed to restore mobility and improve your quality of life.

Conservative Care

Dr. Oberlander prioritizes non-surgical options whenever possible, using evidence-based treatments to relieve pain and restore function. These include:
 
  • Physical Therapy: Customized exercises and manual therapies to strengthen muscles, improve posture, and reduce neck strain.
  • Epidural Steroid Injections: Targeted injections to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain caused by nerve irritation.
  • Pain Management: Medications and lifestyle modifications tailored to manage chronic neck pain effectively.
  • Activity Modifications: Ergonomic assessments and adjustments to daily activities to prevent strain and support recovery.

Minimally Invasive Surgery

For severe or persistent conditions that don’t respond to conservative treatments, Dr. Oberlander offers advanced surgical options. These procedures are designed to minimize recovery time and achieve optimal results:
 
  • Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF): A common procedure to remove a damaged disc and stabilize the spine using a bone graft and plate.
  • Cervical Disc Replacement: Replacing a damaged disc with an artificial one to maintain motion and alleviate pain.
  • Foraminotomy: A minimally invasive procedure to widen the space where nerves exit the spine, relieving pressure.
  • Laminoplasty: Reconstructing part of the vertebrae to create more space for the spinal cord and nerves.
