For patients who require surgery, he performs spinal fusion, decompression procedures, and minimally invasive techniques aimed at reducing recovery time and improving outcomes. Dr. Ryan also offers non‑fusion treatment options for back and neck pain, including discectomy and laminectomy without instrumentation.
