SPINE
Millions of Americans suffer from back pain. It can make daily activities difficult and sometimes unbearable. In the Hudson Valley, we are fortunate to have two of the finest spine surgeons right here at Orthopedic Associates of Dutchess County. Dr. William T. Barrick and Dr. Richard B. Perkins both have highly specialized training in the latest diagnostic and therapeutic techniques for the treatment of spine disorders including herniated discs, back and neck pain, vertebral compression fractures, scoliosis, and spinal instability.
We successfully treat most spinal problems utilizing aggressive non-surgical treatments. Persistent pain or disability that fails to respond to non-surgical treatments, may respond better to surgery. One of our spine specialists will evaluate your condition and your response to non-surgical methods of treatment, and together, you and he can determine whether you would benefit from spine surgery. Today there are procedures available to correct some spinal disorders using minimally invasive techniques such as microdiscectomy and kyphoplasty.
Dr. Barrick and Dr. Perkins perform adult and pediatric cervical (neck), thoracic (upper back), and lumbar (lower back) surgeries.
