Spine Surgery

Christiana Care offers one of the most advanced, cutting-edge spine care programs in the United States. Through our experience and ongoing research, we continue to advance the standard of care to provide the best outcomes for all our spine patients.

The program includes a 30-bed unit within Christiana Hospital that provides comprehensive care for people suffering from cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine disorders. Conditions treated include degenerative diseases, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, tumors and spinal-cord injuries.

Our orthopaedic surgeons and neurosurgical spine specialists use the most advanced techniques and technologies available today. These include minimally invasive surgery with image guidance, spinal fusion, artificial disks and disk replacement.

In addition to an expert surgical team, our program unites specialists in medical imaging, physiatry, outpatient and assessment and pain management to provide patients with a full continuum of care before, during and after surgery.

Because of our commitment to evidence-based medicine, the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association has designated Christiana Care’s Spine Surgery program as a Blue Distinction Center for its expertise in delivering specialty care. The spine surgery team continues to add quality measures to ensure that the care patients receive is safest and of the highest quality.

Christiana Care was ranked #1 in 2019 by CareChex for spinal surgery in the greater Philadelphia area for surgical procedures performed in the inpatient setting which includes spinal fusion and cervical spinal fusion.
