Complete Spine and Musculoskeletal Care, All in One Place in West Orange

Getting the best outcome from spine care requires more than access to good individual procedures—it requires a team that can manage a patient's condition across every stage and every level of complexity without handing them off. At our West Orange location, Gerling Spine Care and Research Institute brings that complete clinical range together under one roof. Whether you are newly diagnosed and exploring your options, recovering from a spine-related injury, seeking a second opinion before proceeding with a recommended surgery, or looking for a non-surgical path forward through regenerative medicine, our West Orange team has the expertise and the tools to take you from evaluation through recovery. Contact our West Orange office today to schedule a consultation and find the right treatment path for your condition.

Cervical Spine Treatments

The cervical spine houses the spinal cord and the nerve roots that supply the arms and hands, making it one of the most neurologically sensitive regions of the body. Problems here can produce symptoms well beyond the neck, and managing them well requires both diagnostic precision and a full range of treatment options. Our West Orange team offers the complete spectrum of cervical spine care across surgical and non-surgical approaches.

Surgical Procedures

  • Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF)
  • Artificial cervical disc replacement
  • Cervical laminoplasty
  • Posterior cervical fusion

Minimally Invasive Procedures

  • Endoscopic diskectomy: cervical
  • Endoscopic foraminotomy: cervical
  • Epidural injections (cervical)
  • Facet joint injections (cervical)
  • Medial branch block injections (cervical)
  • Rhizotomy (cervical)
  • Sympathetic nerve block (stellate ganglion)

Thoracic Spine Treatments

The thoracic spine occupies the mid-back and is less commonly affected by degenerative conditions than the cervical or lumbar spine. When thoracic pathology does develop, it demands the same level of diagnostic care and clinical precision our West Orange team brings to every region of the spine.

Minimally Invasive Procedures

  • Endoscopic diskectomy: thoracic
  • Endoscopic foraminotomy: thoracic
  • Epidural injections (thoracic)
  • Facet joint injections (thoracic)
  • Medial branch block injections (thoracic)
  • Vertebroplasty

Lumbar Spine Treatments

The lumbar spine is where the majority of spinal pain and degeneration occurs, and it is the region where our institute has developed its deepest clinical and research expertise over decades of focused practice. Our West Orange team offers the complete range of lumbar treatments, from diagnostic injections and regenerative biologics to the most complex fusion procedures.

Surgical Procedures

  • Lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF)
  • Posterior lumbar fusion
  • Spinal stenosis surgery
  • Total disc replacement (lumbar)

Minimally Invasive Procedures

  • Endoscopic diskectomy: lumbar
  • Endoscopic foraminotomy: lumbar
  • Epidural injections (lumbar)

Sacral Spine and Pelvic Treatments

The sacrum and sacroiliac joints are a frequently overlooked source of lower back and pelvic pain that standard spine evaluations often miss entirely. Our West Orange team offers both diagnostic and therapeutic options for conditions in this region, including surgical stabilization when conservative measures have been exhausted.

Surgical Procedures

  • Sacroiliac joint fusion, fixation, and stabilization

Minimally Invasive Procedures

  • SI joint injections
  • Sympathetic nerve block (lumbar/sacral)

Regenerative Treatments

For patients seeking to address the biological root of disc and joint degeneration rather than manage its symptoms, our West Orange location offers a complete regenerative medicine program grounded in the same evidence-based standards that define our surgical practice. These treatments are available for cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine conditions as well as peripheral joint problems.

  • Bone marrow aspirate injections
  • Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections
  • Exosome therapy
  • Disk cell and scaffold treatment
