Innovations in Spine Care

Physicians at the University of Washington Medical Centers Bone and Joint Surgery Center use state-of-the-art research and technology to expand treatment options for spine patients. Hear directly from three UW Medicine doctors, Dr. Virany Hillard, Dr. Marla Kaufman and Dr. Michael Lee, and their patients as each are treated for spine ailments. In one case, surgery was the solution for getting a rancher back in the saddle again. For another patient suffering from stenosis, a steroid injection and physical therapy was the right course of action. A third patient with a herniated disc first chose less invasive treatment, then found surgery was ultimately the answer for regaining his active lifestyle.
