Spine Services

Bronson Neuroscience Center encompasses the full scope of spinal diseases, disorders and injuries, bringing together the expertise of specialists in spine services. Our physicians excel in the diagnosis and treatment of everything from conditions such as low back pain to more complex problems such as spine fractures. Bronson offers:

• Collaboration among physiatrists (doctors who specialize in physical rehabilitation), neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons, neuroradiologists and physical therapists, which ensures the most thorough assessment and treatment plan
• An advanced interventional neuroradiology department
• Eighteen state-of-the-art surgical suites, including special "laminar flow" operating rooms; these high-tech rooms have their own specially filtered air supply, which can lower the risk for infection during surgery
• The only state-of-the-art endovascular suite in southwest Michigan: diagnostics, procedures and surgery take place in the same room
• All-private inpatient rooms, which reduces infection risk
• Four locations for rehabilitation
• Weekly, live teleconferences are available for physical therapists (PTs).  PTs can ask about ideas and resources to help their patients with Paula Kilmer, MD, medical spine specialist. To set up a call, contact Masako Winchester, RN at (269) 341-6356.
• Spine camp available for patients considering surgery.
