TREATMENTS

Artificial Disc Replacement

Stay in motion with a modern alternative to fusion. By replacing a compromised disc with a high-tech implant, Artificial Disc Replacement preserves your natural spinal flexibility and protects the health of surrounding segments, allowing for a faster return to an active Florida lifestyle.

TREATMENTS

Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

Experience advanced surgical precision with less downtime. Our minimally invasive techniques utilize specialized instruments and smaller incisions to access the spine, significantly reducing muscle trauma and postoperative discomfort while accelerating your recovery journey.

TREATMENTS

Microdiscectomy

Find rapid relief from the sharp, radiating leg pain caused by a herniated disc. This highly focused procedure uses microscopic visualization to remove only the specific portion of the disc pressing on your nerves, restoring comfort with minimal disruption to your body.

TREATMENTS

Foraminotomy

Open up the pathways to pain-free movement. A foraminotomy creates more space for your spinal nerves by removing small amounts of bone or tissue that have narrowed the nerve exits, effectively eliminating the "pinched nerve" sensation in your neck or back.

TREATMENTS

Laminectomy/ Laminotomy

Relieve the pressure of spinal stenosis and walk further with ease. By carefully removing a portion of the vertebral arch, Laminectomy creates the necessary room for your spinal cord and nerves to function without compression, significantly improving mobility.

TREATMENTS

Spinal Fusion

For cases requiring structural stabilization, we utilize the most advanced fusion techniques available. This procedure carefully joins two or more vertebrae to eliminate painful micro-motion, providing a solid foundation for those dealing with severe instability or deformity.

TREATMENTS

Anti-Inflammatory Injections

Target pain at its source without surgery. Using precise imaging guidance, anti-inflammatory injections deliver powerful relief directly to the affected joints or nerves, calming irritation and helping you bridge the gap to physical therapy or long-term healing.

TREATMENTS

Non-Surgical Spine Treatment

Surgery is rarely our first step. Our non-surgical programs combine customized physical therapy, lifestyle modifications, and modern pain management strategies to resolve spinal issues through conservative, evidence-based care.

TREATMENTS

Regenerative Medicine

Harness your body's innate power to heal. We offer cutting-edge regenerative therapies, such as A2M injections, to naturally reduce inflammation and promote tissue repair within the spinal environment, often helping patients avoid the need for more invasive interventions.

Our Comprehensive Approach to Spine Care

At Cuéllar Spine, we believe your MRI is only one part of the story. Our Fort Lauderdale approach is centered on understanding how your spine health impacts your daily life, from your career to your favorite South Florida pastimes. We don’t just treat symptoms; we partner with you to uncover the root cause of your discomfort and build a roadmap toward lasting health.

Advanced Technology Meets Clinical Insight

At Cuéllar Spine, innovation isn’t just about the operating room, it’s about using the latest medical breakthroughs to find the most effective, least invasive path to your recovery. Our Fort Lauderdale practice utilizes high-resolution imaging and molecular diagnostics to look beyond surface-level symptoms. By understanding the biological and mechanical drivers of your discomfort, we can often implement advanced non-surgical strategies that restore function and eliminate pain without the need for traditional surgery.

Conditions We Treat

TREATMENTS

Degenerative Disc Disease

Wear and tear on the spine doesn't have to mean a loss of vitality. We look at the biological changes within your spinal discs, whether caused by age or injury, to develop a plan that manages inflammation and strengthens the supporting structures of your back. Our goal is to slow progression and keep you moving comfortably.

TREATMENTS

Kyphosis

Postural health is vital to your overall well-being. Whether it is an exaggerated forward curve developed over time or a structural change, we evaluate the impact of kyphosis on your breathing, mobility, and comfort. We focus on corrective strategies that restore balance to your profile and relieve the strain on your back muscles.

TREATMENTS

Spondylolisthesis

When a vertebra shifts out of alignment, it can cause significant instability and nerve irritation. Our approach focuses on stabilizing the spine and relieving the resulting pressure. We prioritize strengthening and non-surgical alignment strategies to ensure your spine can safely support your daily activities.

TREATMENTS

Scoliosis

Scoliosis care is about more than just a curve; it's about how your spine functions in three dimensions. We provide detailed assessments for adults and adolescents in Fort Lauderdale, focusing on managing discomfort, preventing further progression, and maintaining the highest possible level of physical function and symmetry.

TREATMENTS

Cervical Radiculopathy

Pain, tingling, or weakness traveling down your arm is often a sign of a pinched nerve in the neck. We use precision diagnostics to find the exact point of compression. By calming the nerve and addressing the underlying cause, be it a bone spur or disc shift, we help you regain the full use of your hands and arms.

TREATMENTS

Spinal Stenosis

If you find yourself needing to lean forward to find relief while walking, you may be experiencing spinal narrowing. We specialize in treatments that "open up" the spinal canal. Our focus is on increasing your walking distance and standing time, allowing you to enjoy the Fort Lauderdale outdoors without constant leg heaviness.

TREATMENTS

Sciatica

True sciatica is more than just a backache; it is a disruptive nerve condition that radiates through the hip and leg. We look beyond the surface symptoms to treat the specific source of sciatic nerve irritation, utilizing a combination of anti-inflammatory care and mechanical correction to stop the "lightning bolt" pain at its source.

TREATMENTS

Herniated Disc

A disc herniation can feel like your life has been put on hold. We focus on relieving the intense pressure on your spinal nerves through both advanced non-surgical spine treatments and minimally invasive techniques. Our priority is to help the disc heal while getting you back to your normal routine as quickly as possible.

“My priority as a surgeon is getting you better and back to the lifestyle you enjoy.”
