"No one should suffer from chronic neck and back problems, as most disorders can be treated conservatively. When conservative treatment options fail, with new innovative minimally invasive spine procedures, numerous options exist to alleviate pain and restore function and improve one's quality of life. The key to success is to have an informed patient and a quality health care team."

What is this?
Dr. Ali Moshirfar, MD, Lansdowne, VA, 20176
I strive to improve the quality of life of patients by treating disorders of the spinal column. Conservative treatment is my first choice of treatment for most disorders of the spine. If, after a thorough examination and evaluation of the imaging studies, surgery is recommended, the Orthopaedic Spine Surgery Institute offers the most advanced surgical procedures, from minimally invasive spine surgery and motion preservation surgery to the latest techniques in spinal fusion and reconstruction.
Each patient has unique needs and goals. I work very closely with other allied health professionals such as pain management specialists, radiologists, internists, vascular and general surgeons, anesthesiologists, therapists, case managers, and social workers to offer the best care to each individual patient. Keeping the patient informed is of utmost importance and I feel that an informed patient will always have better results. I strive to provide comprehensive care of the spine to my patients by applying the state of the art techniques to restore function and improve quality of life.
