Orthopedic Procedures
Cervical Spine
The first 7 vertebral bones of the spinal column form the cervical spine in the neck region. The neck bears the weight of the head, allows a significant amount of movement, and is less protected than other parts of the spine. All these factors make the neck more susceptible to injury or other painful disorders. Dr. Light is a Certified Orthopedic Spine Surgeon who offers highly specialized care and treatment for neck pain and other cervical spine conditions in California.
Thoracic Spine
Pain or discomfort in the thoracic spine area can be caused due to damage to the muscles, nerves, bones, or joints of the upper and middle part of the spine. The pain can vary from a dull ache to burning or sharp, stabbing pain. It may be associated with stiff muscles, muscle spasms, fatigue, weakness in the arms or legs, or difficulty sleeping. Dr. Light is a board-certified orthopedic spine surgeon who offers highly specialized care and treatment for thoracic spine conditions in California.
