James Hicks, M.D.
Orthopaedic Spine Surgeon
“As a fellowship-trained and board-certified orthopaedic spine surgeon, I have spent my professional life focused on complex surgeries while guided by a philosophy of providing excellent, compassionate care to my patients. My goal is to ensure the optimal health and functionality of the spine utilizing the latest advancements in both non-operative and operative spine care—helping my patients get back to their previous function and quality of life, if not even better.”
Our fellowship-trained team offers patients faster relief from pain through minimally-invasive spine surgeries that feature smaller incisions, shorter hospital stays and quicker recovery times as compared to traditional open back surgeries.
Motion Preservation Surgery
Motion preservation surgery is an alternative to traditional spinal fusion surgery. It aims to preserve the natural movement of the spine. It involves replacing a damaged disc with an artificial one or decompressing the spinal nerves while leaving the vertebrae mobile.
