Surgery For Chronic Spinal Diseases Offered By Dr. Anders Cohen

Dr. Anders Cohen, a leading name in New York City’s neurosurgery and spine surgery landscape, performs surgery for chronic back diseases.

Dr. Cohen turns to surgery only if other remedies are seen to be ineffective, since the spinal area is one of the most sensitive and delicate internal parts of the human body. He examines the results of MRI to come up with a proper diagnosis, and determine if the degenerative changes in the intervertebral discs could be resolved using other measures.

It has been said that back surgery is as much an art as it is a science, for the spinal column is an anatomical wonder with its complex makeup. For it to be performed successfully, a doctor should possess the right training, and skilled, gentle hands – like those of Dr. Cohen.

Dr. Anders Cohen specializes in minimally disruptive back surgery which uses side incisions so as not to affect vital organs. In addition to that, patient recovery is only within one to two days as the muscles are just split, rather than cut.
