Conditions We Treat
At our practice, we specialize in diagnosing and treating a full spectrum of spine conditions affecting the neck, mid-back, and lower back. Patients throughout Frederick, Hagerstown, Western Maryland, Southern Pennsylvania, and the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia seek expert evaluation for conditions including herniated discs, spinal stenosis, sciatica, cervical radiculopathy, lumbar radiculopathy, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, scoliosis, spinal fractures, spinal instability, and myelopathy. Every patient receives a comprehensive evaluation using a combination of medical history, physical examination, and advanced imaging to accurately identify the source of pain or neurologic symptoms. Our goal is to create a personalized treatment plan that relieves pain, restores function, and helps patients return to the activities they enjoy.
Whenever possible, treatment begins with evidence-based, nonoperative care, including physical therapy, medications, activity modification, and image-guided spinal injections. When surgery is necessary, Dr. Michel offers advanced procedures such as minimally invasive spine surgery, cervical disc replacement, anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), lumbar decompression, laminectomy, microdiscectomy, and spinal fusion tailored to each patient's condition and lifestyle. Whether you are experiencing chronic back pain, persistent neck pain, numbness, weakness, or difficulty walking, our practice is committed to providing compassionate, patient-centered spine care with the latest surgical techniques and technology. If you are looking for an experienced orthopedic spine surgeon in Frederick or Hagerstown, MD, we are dedicated to helping you achieve lasting relief and improved quality of life.
