At Shabani Spine, we deliver compassionate, world-class spine care built on trust, transparency, and exceptional outcomes.
Areas of Expertise
Relief starts with understanding your neck pain.
Whether you're experiencing persistent neck pain, pain that radiates into your shoulder or arm, numbness in your fingers, or difficulty with balance and coordination, these symptoms often originate in the cervical spine—the seven vertebrae that make up your neck.
As we age, the discs, joints, and ligaments of the cervical spine naturally change. Injuries, arthritis, herniated discs, and spinal stenosis can place pressure on the spinal cord or nerves, leading to pain, weakness, tingling, or loss of function.
At Shabani Spine, we specialize in diagnosing the underlying cause of cervical spine conditions rather than simply treating symptoms. Dr. Shabani develops personalized treatment plans that begin with conservative care whenever appropriate and offers advanced, minimally invasive surgical options when surgery provides the best opportunity for lasting relief.
Whether you've recently developed neck pain or have been told you need spine surgery and are seeking a second opinion, we'll help you understand your options and move forward with confidence.
