Nonoperative & Conservative Care

For many patients, conservative treatment can help achieve excellent outcomes without undergoing surgery.  Dr. Wind strives to avoid surgery whenever possible by using multi-disciplinary nonoperative approaches to your care.

Minimally Invasive Surgical Techniques

Minimally invasive surgery has become a buzz-word.  But Dr. Wind dedicates his practice towards this philosophy.  It's not just about smaller incisions, it's about surgical procedures that minimize the trauma to normal tissues on the way to the surgical target.  This includes performing a majority of spine surgery through small tubes that work in-between muscle fibers without cutting them.  Click here to learn more about minimally invasive spine surgery.  It also includes removing pituitary tumors through endoscopic approaches with no external incisions.  Click here to learn more about endoscopic pituitary tumor surgery.

Motion Preserving Spine Surgery

There are times when a fusion is needed to restore stability to the spine.  But there are also times when a fusion is not desirable.  Dr. Wind is skilled in offering the latest motion preserving spine surgery options, such as cervical and lumbar disk replacement and the TOPS procedure.  Click here to learn more about motion preserving spine surgery.

Dr. Wind employs the most up-to-date technology in surgery.  This includes image-guided navigation techniques in the brain and spine, robotic spine surgery, intraoperative CT scanning, Artificial Intellingence (AI) spine surgery planning, and patient specific spine implants.  All of these technologies complement and support the goals of safe, accurate, effective, and minimally invasive surgery.
