Meet Dr. Courtney Toombs

Robotic-assisted spine surgery allows for exceptional precision in complex spinal procedures. Using computer-guided navigation and robotic systems, Dr. Toombs can plan and execute each movement with pinpoint accuracy while minimizing trauma. This advanced technology enhances surgical control, reduces blood loss, and enables faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.

Disc replacement is a motion-preserving alternative to spinal fusion that helps relieve pain caused by damaged or degenerated spinal discs. Dr. Toombs removes the diseased disc and replaces it with an artificial implant that can mimic natural movement. As a specialist in cervical and lumbar disc replacement, Dr. Toombs helps patients restore normal spine mechanics and maintain flexibility.

Sacroiliac (SI) joint fusion addresses chronic lower back and pelvic pain caused by SI joint instability. Using a minimally invasive technique, Dr. Toombs inserts small titanium implants to stabilize the joint for durable pain relief. The procedure is performed through tiny incisions, resulting in less blood loss and faster recovery. Many patients experience significant improvement in function within weeks.

Fusionless surgery is an innovative approach to treating lumbar spinal stenosis and degenerative instability without permanently fusing the vertebrae. Instead, Dr. Toombs uses motion-preserving implants like Coflex or TOPS devices to stabilize the spine while maintaining flexibility. This allows patients to regain mobility, reduce stiffness, and recover more quickly than with traditional fusion surgery.
