Westminster Neurosurgeon Provides Expert Spine Surgery
If you are looking for a top neurosurgeon in Westminster, our leading spine surgeon at Neurosurgery One Westminster offers exceptional patient care coupled with extensive specialized training and experience. Our Westminster spine surgeon Jason McGowan, MD, FAANS has extensive experience in diagnosing and treating spinal deformities such as scoliosis as well as degenerative spine conditions and spinal reconstruction . Dr. McGowan completed a prestigious fellowship in complex spinal deformity at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, where he also received specialized training in scoliosis and spinal reconstructive surgeries.
For our Westminster back pain and spine patients, Dr. McGowan performs surgery at St. Anthony North Hospital, which is conveniently located in Westminster right off of Interstate 25.
Together with our advanced practice providers (APPs), Dr. McGowan diagnoses and treats patients with a variety of back and neck pain and complex spinal conditions including:
- Scoliosis. Scoliosis surgery for adults may be a consideration for patients who develop adult-onset scoliosis, which is a curvature of the spine that develops due to injury or aging. Whenever possible, our Westminster spine surgeon recommends conservative therapies like physical therapy and injections, interventional pain management procedures, and minimally invasive spine surgery.
- Back and Neck Pain. Most adults will suffer from back or neck pain at some point in their lives. At Neurosurgery One, we
always start with conservative methods for back and neck pain, only recommending spine surgery if absolutely necessary.
- Spinal deformities. Spinal deformities can develop as people age or be present from birth (congenital). Often,
- spinal deformities can impact quality of life, restrict activities, and cause pain or balance issues.
- Traumatic spine injuries. While never something you plan for, traumatic spine injuries require prompt and precise treatment. Dr. McGowan has deep experience in working with patients who suffer traumatic spine injuries from skiing, hiking, athletic, and automobile accidents. Read the story of the paraglider who fell over 100 feet but was running again in just months after Dr. McGowan performed his surgery.
