our services

We restore patients who are suffering
from spinal pain using the safest, least invasive and
most conservative treatment methods possible.

MINIMALLY INVASIVE SPINE SURGERY

We use minimally invasive techniques to treat spine problems. These techniques are highly effective in eliminating pain caused by nerve or spinal cord compression.
These procedures are performed on both the neck and back.

ARTIFICIAL DISC REPLACEMENT

This procedure replaces a degenerative or damaged spinal disc with an implant designed to preserve motion in your neck. This procedure can relieve the pain of compressed nerves in the cervical spine..

STEM CELL THERAPY

Through regenerative medicine, a person can take advantage of their body’s ability to heal itself by using the healthy stem cells that can be found throughout the body. Laboratory and clinical research has shown that it is possible to use stem cells to restore lost, damaged or aging cells and effectively regenerate tissue in the body.

Barbara finally sought a consultation with Dr. Erik Spayde who thoroughly explained the XLIF procedure and suggested that she consider it as a treatment option.

John struggled with ongoing sciatica for several years. After a consultation, Dr. Erik Spayde recommended surgery. John underwent XLIF surgery in February 2011 and was walking the next day.

My wife had her surgery in December and was up and about by the time she was released from the hospital. She had nothing but great things to say about Dr Spayde and his team for both pre and post op care.

I can’t say enough about Erik Spayde and his team. After I had my MRI, it was discovered I had herniated disc pushing on a nerve. It was sheer debilitating pain for 11 weeks. Once I looked up the Discectomy procedure and talked to few people who successfully had one, I decided to schedule it with another local surgeon I was seeing. After 3 weeks with no communication from his office and with multiple calls I made to his office to find out when the procedure would be scheduled, I finally get a return call that they never scheduled it. I immediately searched for another surgeon and found Dr. Erik Spayde---who’s name kept popping up among friends who couldn’t say enough about how great he was and how well their surgery went. He was highly recommended by everyone we talked to. I immediately made an appointment with Dr. Spayde. He got me scheduled for my discectomy in less than 2 weeks. His office staff is the exception to the rule for medical offices---their service is second-to-none, highly efficient and thorough! Dr. Spayde, Dr. Rice and Dr. Dirkx all met with me explaining the procedure, what to expect and the recovery process. I knew I was in good hands. I’m now at 17 weeks after having the Discectomy and happy to report it was an incredible success. I’m forever thankful to Dr. Spayde and his team and it's an absolute pleasure to leave this review.

I have been a patient at the St. Charles Spine Institute for almost 6 years. Dr Erik Spayde performed a successful spine surgery on my lower back in May 2022. In my opinion, he is one of the best at what he does. Sometimes, being the best has its disadvantages such as overconfidence, excessive pride and hubris. It's not the case with this young and skilled surgeon; while being the best, he hasn't forgotten his humanity, he put himself at the same levels with his patients, never above. Most importantly, he listens carefully and explains conditions and procedures in simple language. If and when he finds a surgery necessary, he puts everything, every little detail, in favor of a successful operation. The skilled and professional front desk and everyone else working at his office is courteous and accommodating. I feel a good vibe and chemistry between the doctors and the staff which is the core of a successful team helping patients.

Nearly 10 years after my spinal surgery and I still feel as terrific as I did walking out of surgery. Not exaggerating at all- I could feel that I got my life back only days after correcting my back. He’s incredible. Nearly 10 years and still grateful!

Suffering with extrem back pain for the last 6years and after visiting the best neurosurgeons in Souther California I decided to go with Dr. Eric Spayde. My back was in the worst posible shape and I was so limited in my activities… This year At the end of June I went to see Dr Spayde and he scheduled me for surgery. He said to me it will a mayor surgery..and it was. Three month later i can be on my feet all the time that I want with no more pain. Recovery was as expected and I had the support of every one on his team. Jonathan , Dr Spayde PA was always a phone call away. I’m so happy of the choice I made Thank you Dr Eric Spayde and your team. I’m very grateful 🙏🙏

I just started working with Dr. Spayde’s office a little more than a month ago towards the successful result of an upcoming surgery. The office is very well organized and represented by extremely competent medical professionals and administrative staff. From the initial appointment through numerous pre-op evaluations and tests the path Dr. Spayde has put me on is indeed most encouraging. This is a third opinion for my condition and I finally have every confidence that I found the right doctor and will achieve the anticipated successful result of my scheduled surgery. I am grateful and positive. Surgery was performed one month and a few days ago: My prior daily pain of 8-10 is now 0-1. I can walk now and my post-op is 100% positive. Dr. Spayde performed three procedures on my back and I could not be more pleased. My recovery is on track and a smile has replaced my frown. I am thankful and you will be too—call them!
