80% of Americans will be affected by back pain at some point in their lives. In some cases, the pain is minor and only temporary. But for many people, it is an on-going challenge – one that significantly limits their ability to work or even perform the simplest tasks of everyday life. Of course, back pain is only a symptom of an underlying medical condition affecting an incredibly complex network of bones, nerves, muscles, ligaments and tendons – the human spine.
When you’re experiencing back pain, it’s critical that its cause be identified quickly and accurately, and that you get the best care available, so you can get back to the things you want and need to do. The good news is that advancements in the treatment of spinal conditions are being made more rapidly than ever before – presenting new and greater opportunities to minimize pain and risks of complications, while speeding recovery time.
At Excelsior Orthopaedics, we are committed to bringing these advancements to Western New York, and providing you with the best spinal care available today. That’s why we’ve established the Spine Center at Excelsior Orthopaedics.
Led by Dr. Ross Sherban, the team at the Excelsior Spine Center will provide you with superior care - from a thorough assessment and diagnosis of your condition to the identification of the best treatment option(s) for you. Treatment can take a number of forms – from non-invasive techniques like “pain management” or physical therapy to out-patient or even more extensive surgery. The Excelsior approach is to explore all non-surgical alternatives first, with an eye toward avoiding surgery if at all possible.
State-of-the-art technology and today’s most advanced procedures
If surgery emerges as the best option for you, Dr. Sherban is uniquely qualified to perform it. He is an expert in the latest minimally invasive and microsurgical techniques for the spine, using the most advanced tools and technology available today. These techniques minimize the risks of “traditional” spinal surgery and significantly increase the speed of a patient’s recovery – even making it possible for you to have spine surgery in the morning and be back home in the afternoon!
All the care you need...under one roof
Beyond the quality of the care you’ll get at the Excelsior Spine Center, another advantage you’ll enjoy is that you can get all the care you need at one convenient location – at the Excelsior medical campus on Sheridan Drive in Amherst. From initial evaluation, diagnosis and the identification of treatment options to the treatment itself, including surgery, as well as any post-treatment therapy or rehabilitation – it’s all available to you under one roof, here at Excelsior.
