Dr. Sameer Mathur has completed a residency in orthopedic surgery. The orthopedic surgery residency has provided a very strong foundation for understanding the biomechanics of the spine. He further pursued a comprehensive spinal reconstructive fellowship. He has spent numerous years as a research fellow studying spinal problems at the molecular level. After fellowship, Dr. Mathur decided that he would devote his entire practice to the treatment of spinal problems. Unlike many other spinal surgeons, Dr. Mathur does not treat orthopaedic problems such as hip, knee, and shoulder pain. His practice is 100% spine focused.
It is very difficult for a patient to determine if they need surgery. If you have neck or back pain, weakness, numbness, and tingling in the arms or legs then make an appointment to see Dr. Mathur. We have a comprehensive spine center. We have four PMNR physicians who evaluate patients with non-surgical problems and also perform cervical, thoracic, and lumbar injections. They conduct EMG/Nerve Conduction Studies, and discograms. We have physicians who specialize in short-term pain management. We have physical therapy that is dedicated only for spinal issues with physical therapist that are spine certified. In addition, we have an orthotics office that provides cervical and lumbar braces. Dr. Mathur will definitively fix the spine problem if non operative treatments are not effective.
We treat all cases related to the neck, and back including spinal stenosis, compression fractures, disc herniations, spinal instability, degenerative scoliosis, and disc degeneration.
