The human spine is a complex structure made up of bones, discs, nerves, and supporting ligaments. When any part of this system is affected, it can lead to pain, limited mobility, and even nerve dysfunction. Fortunately, patients suffering from spine-related issues can receive expert care from a spine specialist at Nadora Healthcare.
As Colorado’s only Spine Center of Excellence, Nadora Healthcare is home to two highly regarded spine surgeons: Dr. Scott Dhupar, a board-certified and fellowship-trained orthopedic spine surgeon, and Dr. K. Soraya Heidari, a fellowship-trained orthopedic spine surgeon. These specialists offer patients a full spectrum of non-surgical and surgical treatment options tailored to each individual’s needs.
Common Spinal Disorders Treated by Nadora Healthcare
Spinal disorders can affect any region of the spine—cervical (neck), thoracic (mid-back), or lumbar (lower back). At Nadora Healthcare, a spine specialist can accurately diagnose and treat conditions such as:
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Degenerative disc disease
- Spinal stenosis
- Spondylolisthesis
- Radiculopathy (pinched nerves)
- Sciatica
- Kyphosis and scoliosis
- Compression fractures
- Facet joint syndrome
- Spinal trauma or instability
Each of these conditions presents with unique symptoms and functional challenges, which is why accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment are essential.
Comprehensive Diagnostic Approach
At your first appointment, a Nadora Healthcare spine specialist will perform a comprehensive evaluation, which may include:
- Detailed medical history and symptom discussion
- Physical and neurological examination
- Diagnostic imaging (X-rays, MRI, or CT scans)
- Functional assessments to evaluate strength, flexibility, and nerve response
This thorough diagnostic process helps identify not only the source of pain but also its impact on your mobility and daily life. Based on this evaluation, a customized treatment plan is developed with your long-term health in mind.
Non-Surgical Treatments Offered
In many cases, surgery is not the first option. At Nadora Healthcare, the focus is on conservative care whenever possible. Non-surgical treatment options may include:
- Epidural steroid injections to reduce inflammation and nerve irritation
- Facet joint injections for targeted relief of joint-related pain
- Activity modification and lifestyle guidance
- Non-opioid pain management strategies
- Referral to physical therapy through trusted community providers
The goal of conservative care is to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and restore function—all while avoiding unnecessary surgery.
Surgical Options for Advanced Conditions
If non-surgical treatment fails or the condition threatens nerve function or quality of life, your spine specialist may recommend a surgical procedure. Dr. Dhupar and Dr. Heidari are highly skilled in:
- Laminectomy and decompression
- Discectomy and microdiscectomy
- Cervical and lumbar fusion
- Artificial disc replacement
- Kyphoplasty for compression fractures
- Scoliosis correction and spinal realignment
Nadora Healthcare’s surgeons utilize minimally invasive techniques whenever possible to reduce recovery time and optimize surgical outcomes.
