For U.S. veterans residing in Panama, or those in the U.S. considering traveling abroad for specialized orthopedic spine care, finding an experienced spine specialist is critical. Living with back pain or spinal issues can affect daily life, and veterans, in particular, deserve comprehensive, effective care to address these challenges. Our clinic in Panama provides expert orthopedic spine care, led by a specialist in minimally invasive spine surgery, with experience in treating complex conditions like sciatica, degenerative disc disease, fractures, and more. We are dedicated to offering personalized care, meeting the unique needs of veterans and their families, and we provide assistance for those with international insurance.
Why Panama for Spine Care?
Choosing Panama for spine care has several advantages for veterans, including cost-effective treatments, high standards of care, and accessibility.

Comprehensive, Minimally Invasive Treatment Options
We focus on minimally invasive techniques designed to reduce recovery time, minimize discomfort, and provide long-lasting results. This approach is particularly beneficial for veterans, enabling a faster return to everyday activities.
Here are some of the spinal conditions we treat:
Sciatica (Inflammation of the Sciatic Nerve)
- Sciatica causes pain radiating from the lower back through the legs. Our treatment options target the root cause, relieving inflammation around the sciatic nerve and providing enduring pain relief.
Spinal Cord and Nerve Compression
- This condition can lead to symptoms like loss of strength, cramps, and numbness. Our specialized decompression techniques relieve pressure on nerves, restoring functionality and reducing discomfort.
Spinal Canal Stenosis
- Stenosis, the narrowing of the spinal canal, often results in mobility issues. Our treatments aim to open the spinal canal and alleviate pressure, reducing symptoms like weakness and pain.
Scoliosis (Vertebral Deformity)
- We offer advanced treatments to correct or manage scoliosis, providing personalized care based on each veteran’s specific condition.
Degenerative Disc Disease
- This common condition involves the deterioration of spinal discs, leading to pain and restricted movement. Our treatments help alleviate the effects of degenerative disc disease, improving mobility and quality of life.
Radiofrequency Ablation and Nerve Blocks for Back Pain
- For veterans with chronic back pain, we offer radiofrequency ablation and nerve blocks, which provide targeted relief by interrupting pain signals from affected nerves.
Tumors and Metastases of the Spine
- Our clinic also treats spinal tumors and metastases, using a comprehensive approach that includes minimally invasive options to address these complex conditions with precision and care.
Patient-Centered Approach for Veterans
Our clinic takes a holistic, patient-centered approach to care, recognizing the unique health needs of veterans. For those with limited mobility or those who may require pre-evaluation before traveling, we offer telemedicine consultations to facilitate treatment planning and answer questions.
