Cervical herniated disc
Targeted decompression for arm pain, numbness, or weakness from a compressed nerve in the neck.
Conditions Treated
Comprehensive spine care, from cervical to sacrum.
Dr. Zavatsky treats the full range of degenerative, traumatic, and deformity-related spinal conditions — for adults and adolescents alike. Below is an overview of the most common diagnoses seen in his practice.
Cervical Spine
Cervical stenosis & myelopathy
Restoring space around the spinal cord to halt progressive neurologic decline.
Cervical disc replacement
Motion-preserving alternative to fusion for the right candidate.
Lumbar Spine
Herniated lumbar disc
Microdiscectomy for sciatica that has not resolved with conservative care.
Spinal stenosis
Minimally invasive decompression to relieve leg pain and restore walking distance.
Spondylolisthesis
Stabilization for slipped vertebrae causing pain or instability.
Degenerative disc disease
Individualized plans ranging from injections to fusion or motion-preserving surgery.
Deformity
Adult scoliosis
Correction of curves causing pain, imbalance, or progressive deformity.
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
Bracing guidance and surgical correction when indicated.
Sagittal imbalance
Restoring forward-leaning posture for function and quality of life.
Trauma & Revision
Vertebral compression fractures
Kyphoplasty and conservative management for osteoporotic fractures.
Spinal trauma
Stabilization and decompression following high-energy injury.
Failed back surgery syndrome
Thoughtful revision strategy when prior surgery has not delivered relief.
Treatment Approach
The right intervention — no more, no less.
A tiered approach that begins with conservative care and escalates only when clinically warranted.
Conservative
Non-surgical first.
Targeted physical therapy, medication management, and image-guided injections — most spine pain resolves without surgery.
Minimally Invasive
Smallest effective intervention.
Tubular and endoscopic technique to decompress and stabilize while preserving muscle and shortening recovery.
Complex Reconstruction
Definitive correction when required.
Multi-level fusion, deformity correction, and revision surgery using modern instrumentation and intraoperative imaging.

Most patients are seen within one week. New consultations are personally reviewed by Dr. Zavatsky's clinical team.
