Services
ACDF Surgery
Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) addresses cervical spine issues by removing damaged discs and fusing vertebrae. This procedure alleviates nerve pressure while stabilizing the spine using bone grafts and implants. Patients benefit from reduced neck pain and improved mobility through our expert surgical technique.
XLIF Procedure
eXtreme Lateral Interbody Fusion (XLIF) offers minimally invasive access to the spine through the side of the body. Using nerve monitoring technology, we treat spinal pathologies with reduced risk of vascular injury. This approach promotes faster recovery while maintaining spinal stability and function.
Mobi-C Disc Replacement
Mobi-C Cervical Disc replacement preserves neck motion by substituting damaged discs with artificial ones. This alternative to fusion maintains natural spinal movement, potentially reducing adjacent segment degeneration. Patients experience symptom relief while retaining cervical flexibility through our precise implantation technique.
Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic services focus on non-invasive spinal alignment to improve musculoskeletal function. Through manual adjustments and therapeutic exercises, we address pain management and posture correction. Patients receive personalized treatment plans to enhance overall wellness and prevent future spinal issues.
Post-Operative Rehabilitation
Comprehensive rehabilitation programs combine home care support with supervised physical therapy. Our 24/7 curbside assistance and state-of-the-art facilities ensure proper recovery through customized exercise regimens. Patients benefit from nutritional guidance and lifestyle modifications to optimize surgical outcomes and long-term spinal health.

Report
Dr. Kuwamura is one of the best surgeon out there for lumbar microdisectomy. I was skeptical and nervous before when looking for the best doctor to treat my back. I consulted 4 surgeons and Dr. Kuwamura was the best, most experienced and great bed side manners. He was patient to explain the surgery procedure. I could not have chosen any better surgeon. His entire staff really went above and beyond especially Horacio he was very professional and knowledgeable about the entire process of my care. Very much satisfied with my surgery experience.
