From basic conservative care to advanced adult deformity corrections, the team of expert neurosurgeons and physicians at SSM Health St. Joseph Hospital in St. Charles and Lake St. Louis are dedicated to providing patients with comprehensive care that meets their unique needs.
Dr. David Neils, a neurosurgeon at SSM Health St. Joseph Hospital, emphasizes the importance of receiving comprehensive care locally rather than traveling outside the region for treatment. This commitment by the hospital aims to provide cutting-edge care close to where patients live and work, facilitating faster recoveries and reducing the burden of travel post-surgery.
Innovative technologies such as computerized surgery and optical tracking software have revolutionized spine surgeries, enabling precise placement of screws and improved reconstructions of the spine with minimal incision. These advancements contribute to better outcomes and shorter recovery times for patients undergoing back and spine procedures. Each surgery is customized to meet the specific needs of the patient, often after exhausting all other treatment options and receiving a referral from their primary care physician.
Dr. Neils emphasizes the importance of understanding each patient’s unique condition, how it impacts their quality of life, and tailoring a treatment plan that aligns with their goals and improves their overall well-being.
