Spine Procedures at the Ambulatory Surgical Center of Stevens Point

The Ambulatory Surgical Center of Stevens Point has partnered with Dr. Potocki, from Stevens Point Orthopedics, to perform outpatient spine procedures at the surgical center.

You may be a good candidate for spine surgery if:

• Medications, corticosteroid injections, activity modifications and physical therapy/chiropractic care haven’t been effective for relieving pain or improving mobility.
• You’re experiencing signs of nerve compression or damage, like muscle weakness, numbness, and arm or leg pain from a herniated disc or spinal stenosis.
• Spinal stenosis symptoms prevent you from performing your daily activities, or you’ve noticed a decline in function of your arms or legs.
• You have a herniated disc that isn’t healing or sacroiliac joint problems that won’t improve.

In these cases, a surgical evaluation with Dr. Potocki at Stevens Point Orthopedics should be considered.
 

Procedures Include:

• Discectomy
• Laminectomy
• Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF)
