Dr. Jonathan Stieber sat down with The Spine Pod, hosts, Courtney Schutze and Brady Riesgraf. Dr. Stieber is the Director of the Spine Center at both OrthoManhattan and OrthoEnglewood, Associate Professor of Orthopedic Surgery at Mount Sinai and Clinical Associate Professor at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. Practicing in the heart of New York City for more than 17 years, Dr. Stieber brings a uniquely comprehensive perspective on how spine care has evolved—and where it’s headed.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How motion preservation has evolved from early hype to real-world results—and why it’s here to stay this time.
- The importance of tailoring procedures to each patient—and how pre-operative goal setting can help patients make more informed long-term decisions.
- How enabling technologies like robotics, navigation, minimally-invasive approaches are coalescing to provide a higher-level of treatment options to patients suffering from chronic leg and/or back pain.
- Where non-instrumented motion preserving alternatives fit into the care continuum and how they may provide an alternative to patients who are facing a cervical or lumbar spinal fusion.
- How Dr. Stieber is creating a new approach to surgical care—giving patients expanded treatment options, across the entire orthopedic spectrum, under one roof.
