An Expert in the Field<\/strong>
\nAt American Spine & Orthopaedic Institute, Dr. Manzanares utilizes conventional as well as minimally invasive techniques to correct issues causing pain, loss of function or deformity. The practice incorporates three primary areas of expertise: minimally invasive spinal surgery, advanced spine reconstruction and sports-related injury.<\/p>\n\u201cI work to optimize pain relief for my patients in the least invasive way possible so they can get back to enjoying life,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
For some patients, a minimally invasive procedure may be a better surgical option than a traditional or \u201copen\u201d spinal surgery. Instead of removing muscle attachments from bones, the technique spreads and pushes muscles out of the way, making the recovery process much easier. Treatments for disc replacement, rotator cuff repair, shoulder and knee arthroscopy and trauma-related injuries are common at American Spine & Orthopaedic Institute.<\/p>\n
One patient credits Dr. Manzanares with providing a second chance at life, noting that he takes his time with his patients and makes them feel like a priority. \u201cI never felt that there was an appointment before or after me. He and his staff are always prompt, professional and courteous. He and his PA make you feel like a human being and that\u2019s why I have recommended him to many people since my surgery.\u201d<\/p>\n
Looking Out for Your Spine<\/strong>
\nDedicated to providing only the best care for each and every patient, Dr. Manzanares stays on the forefront of technology. He is committed to studying the latest surgical techniques that will optimize his patients\u2019 outcomes while decreasing the potential for complications and improving their recovery time. Most recently he discovered a way to surgically treat adult degenerative scoliosis with a combination of minimally invasive techniques that aim to correct the spinal curvature while decreasing intraoperative time, blood loss, length of hospital stay and recovery time.<\/p>\n\u201cI have required three spinal surgeries within the past year, and I can say without any reservations that Dr. Manzanares is by far the best surgeon I have ever had,\u201d one patient says. \u201cHis bedside manner and professionalism are unparalleled. He exhibits a care and concern for his patients, which I feel is so often lacking today in the medical field. I can honestly say, that not only would I recommend him, but if I were to ever need another orthopedist, he without any question would be the one.\u201d<\/p>\n
