Spine Center

Back pain related to spinal deformity and injury or congenital conditions is a common health complaint, which can be very debilitating. At Stamford Hospital's Spine Center, we do more complex spine surgeries than any other community hospital in Fairfield County.

We are experts in total spinal care, offering a dedicated team of surgeons, nurses, anesthesiologists, physical therapists, pain-management specialists and physiatrists, who are experienced in treating the most challenging spinal problems. An integral member of our team is the Clinical Nurse Coordinator who helps prepare all patients prior to coming into the hospital and follows up with them after their discharge.

To ensure patient safety, we have physicians who monitor the spinal cord and nerves throughout surgery to prevent neurological complications. We also utilize an image-guided stereotactic surgery system that acts as a "GPS" for the spine, this allows us to protect the delicate nervous system structures.

The Van Munching Rehabilitation unit is right in the hospital where patients who meet certain clinical criteria can be followed by the very same team. Should you need pain management or physical therapy, both can be accessed directly at Stamford Hospital's Tully Health Center.

Minimally Invasive Treatments

Many spine problems don't require surgical correction, but for those that do, Stamford Hospital specializes in minimally invasive surgical procedures. Minimally invasive techniques result in much shorter hospital stays, less recovery time and greatly reduced scarring.
