Our Patient-Centered Approach

Before anyone talks about surgery or procedures, Dr. Cuéllar listens to how your pain began, how it affects your daily life in Boca Raton, and what you want to be able to do again. Your goals guide the treatment plan as much as your imaging.

Care centers on three pillars:

Restoring movement and function
Reducing or eliminating pain
Improving long-term quality of life

Recommendations are based on a careful review of your MRI or X-rays, a hands-on exam, and what has already been tried. Patients from Boca Raton can expect clear explanations, time for questions, and shared decision-making, so you leave with a plan that feels understood and achievable.

Advanced Spine Care Technology

Cuéllar Spine combines experience with modern imaging and surgical technology. Your studies are reviewed in detail, and in surgery, tools such as intraoperative imaging and navigation help guide instrument placement and support accuracy and safety.

This often means smaller incisions, less muscle disruption, lower risk of complications, and a faster return to normal activities. Whenever appropriate, Dr. Cuéllar uses minimally invasive and motion-preserving options, including artificial disc replacement, to relieve pain while preserving as much natural movement as possible.

Conditions We Treat

TREATMENTS

Degenerative Disc Disease

Gradual wear and tear of the discs can cause chronic neck or low back pain, stiffness, and reduced flexibility. Over time, this can make it harder to sit, stand, or stay active, even for simple daily tasks. With the right plan, many Boca Raton patients find they can manage symptoms and delay or avoid more invasive procedures.

TREATMENTS

Herniated Disc

When disc material pushes out and presses on nearby nerves, it can cause arm or leg pain, tingling, or weakness. You may feel a sharp, shooting pain when you cough, sneeze, or bend. Proper diagnosis is key, because some herniated discs respond well to conservative care while others benefit from a targeted procedure such as microdiscectomy.

TREATMENTS

Sciatica

Irritation of the sciatic nerve creates pain traveling from the lower back into the buttock, thigh, and sometimes the foot. Some patients describe it as burning or electric. Sciatica can limit walking, driving, and sleep, but in many cases, a combination of focused therapy, injections, and in select situations surgery can provide lasting relief.

TREATMENTS

Spinal Stenosis

Narrowing of the spinal canal or nerve passageways can lead to pain, heaviness, or cramping when standing or walking, often eased by sitting or bending forward. People in Boca Raton who once enjoyed long walks or golf may notice they need frequent breaks. Decompression procedures, sometimes combined with stabilization, can help open space for the nerves and improve endurance.

TREATMENTS

Cervical Radiculopathy

Pinched nerves in the neck can cause pain into the shoulder and arm, along with possible numbness or weakness in the hand. Everyday tasks such as typing, lifting, or even holding a phone can become difficult. With careful evaluation, many patients improve with non-surgical care, while others do very well with motion-preserving procedures such as cervical disc replacement.

TREATMENTS

Scoliosis and Spinal Deformity

Abnormal curvatures of the spine may cause posture changes, muscle fatigue, and mechanical pain. In adults, scoliosis can also contribute to nerve compression and imbalance. Treatment ranges from observation and targeted therapy to complex reconstruction for those with significant deformity and symptoms.

TREATMENTS

Spondylolisthesis

A vertebra that has slipped forward out of place can create instability, back pain, and nerve symptoms. Some patients feel better with core strengthening and activity changes, while others with more advanced slipping or nerve compression may benefit from surgery to realign and stabilize the spine.

TREATMENTS

Kyphosis

Excess forward rounding of the upper back can be painful and affect balance, confidence, and breathing comfort in more severe cases. A personalized plan may include posture training, strengthening, pain management, or when appropriate, surgical correction to restore better alignment.
