Spine Conditions We Treat in Newport Beach
Orange County residents have access to comprehensive care for conditions affecting every region of the spine, including:
- Disc herniation: When disc material compresses nearby nerves, microscopic surgical techniques can reduce the source of radiating arm or leg pain through tiny incisions.
- Narrowed spinal canal: Decompression procedures create adequate room for nerve structures without compromising spinal stability, addressing stenosis-related symptoms.
- Worn spinal discs: Motion-preservation surgery with artificial disc technology provides an alternative approach for patients who want to avoid fusion procedures.
- Nerve compression syndromes: Whether sciatica affects your leg or cervical radiculopathy causes arm symptoms, targeted intervention can free compressed neural tissue.
- Vertebral misalignment: When spondylolisthesis causes one vertebra to shift forward, stabilization procedures can restore proper spinal architecture.
- Neck disorders: Conditions like herniated cervical discs and foraminal stenosis receive precise surgical attention when conservative care isn’t sufficient.
Minimally Invasive Techniques for Quicker Recovery
Dr. Melikian’s specialized training in microendoscopic techniques means he uses incisions measuring under one inch, preserving healthy muscle and tissue. For most procedures, minimally invasive surgery supports same-day discharge.
The result is faster healing, reduced post-operative discomfort and earlier return to normal activities. Dr. Melikian evaluates each case individually, exploring nonsurgical options like physical therapy and injections before recommending operative treatment.
