Services

There is not only one specific treatment for any spinal condition. Dr. Tydings is performing spine surgery procedures utilizing traditional techniques as well as Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery when applicable. There are always multiple options for any condition in any patient. The final decision is between the doctor and the patient using all of the information and techniques that are available.

Utilizing our spine surgery services, we now offer world-class orthopedic surgery and treatment to patients suffering from spinal conditions in the greater Mercer and Monmouth County areas.




Diagnosis
There is no one, definitive test for every problem. The diagnosis is established only after obtaining a proper history from the patient performing a well done, thorough physical examination, and then ordering the appropriate tests necessary. At that time the cause of the patient’s pain can be identified. All of the treatment options available are then contemplated from observation through and including surgical treatment in proper sequence.
Diagnosis
Herniated Disc
Disk herniations can occur in both the neck and the low back. These can be quite painful. Multiple surgical and non-surgical treatment options are available.
Herniated Disc
Low Back and Lumbar Spine Conditions
There are many causes and treatment that are possible. Dr. Tydings is well versed with all surgical and non-surgical options.
Low Back
Mid Back and Thoracic Spine
This area has many possible pain causes but fortunately, surgery is rarely necessary.
Mid Back
Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery
When available and appropriate, this option can lessen the pain at surgery while speeding up the recovery period without a compromise in treatment.
Minimally Invasive
Minimally Invasive Sacroiliac (SI) Fusion
This is a great option for this particular problem which previously required a massive, debilitating surgical procedure. Patients are now discharged on the day of surgery.
SI Fusion
Degenerative Disc Disease
This can be a slow, gradual process or the result of an injury. The key is early diagnosis and treatment. For severe cases, surgical treatment is available and multiple options exist.
Degenerative Disc Disease
Radiofrequency Rhizotomy
Radiofrequency Neurotomy of the Lumbar Facets
This minimally-invasive procedure uses heat from radio waves to treat painful facet joints in your lower back. It can treat pain that doesn't respond to medications or to physical therapy.
