Spine Surgery
Minimally invasive spine surgery (MIS) has been developed to effectively treat disorders of the spine with minimal scarring, decreased pain, less blood loss, and shorter patient recovery time. Much of the surgery is done using a microscope and sometimes special surgical instruments and implants.

Injuries
Many athletes experience spinal injuries due to the extreme stress they place on their bodies. The majority of these are benign and with proper guidance and appropriate treatment modalities resolve with return to play. We have a comprehensive approach to treating such conditions, and do whatever it takes to return the athlete back to play.

Motion preservation surgery is a revolutionary technology aimed at alleviating conditions in the cervical spine without using fusion techniques. Results in the lumbar spine have not been as promising and had greater rates of complications. Dr. Prasarn performs both cervical disc replacement , posterior foraminotomy and laminoplasty surgeries.
