Pioneering Motion-Preserving Spine Surgery
Dr. Scott Hodges, MD
Dr. Scott Hodges is a leading spine surgeon pioneering fusion-free, motion-preserving treatments that get patients back to living without limits. With decades of experience and expertise in minimally invasive and innovative spine procedures, he helps people overcome back and neck pain while keeping them active.
From advanced disc replacements to non-surgical solutions, Dr. Hodges delivers personalized care designed to relieve pain, preserve mobility, and restore quality of life.
Considering Spinal Fusion? You Have Options
We are the nation’s first fusion-free spine program, offering advanced, motion-preserving surgeries designed to relieve your pain without sacrificing your mobility.
For decades, spinal fusion was considered the only surgical option for many back and neck problems. While it can relieve pain, it also permanently restricts movement in the fused area and may lead to future stress on nearby segments.
At Spine Motion Institute, we specialize exclusively in fusion-free treatments such as artificial disc replacement and other motion-preserving procedures. These options are designed to:
- Relieve pain at it's source
- Maintain natural motion in your spine
- Lower the risk of needing future surgeries
- Reduce recovery time so you can return to normal life faster
Whether you’ve been told you “need a fusion” or you’re seeking a second opinion, our surgeons will help you explore all your options and create a plan that puts your long-term mobility and quality of life first.
