DISC Sports & Spine Center History

DISC Sports & Spine Center is one of the country’s leading facilities specializing in spine, orthopedics, and sports medicine. Established in 2006, DISC has quickly risen to global prominence and is cited by many as the gold standard in medicine. Featuring one of the nation’s most technologically advanced outpatient surgical centers, alongside next-generation diagnostics, non-surgical conservative care, pain management and rehabilitation, DISC was founded upon a commitment to provide an unmatched continuity of care in order to help patients restore motion and function for a rapid return to an active lifestyle.

Now serving as an Official Medical Services Provider of Red Bull North America, DISC has evolved from not only treating patients, to also providing preventative care and performance optimization, helping elite athletes train and compete at their best.

DISC features a unique team that includes specialists in physical medicine, rehabilitation, performance psychology, brain mapping and training, along with a world-class imaging center and soft tissue center offering chiropractic, MedX spine rehabilitation, acupuncture, traditional eastern medicine, and nutrition services. DISC’s outpatient Surgery Center, one of the most technologically advanced in the nation, completes the model. Featuring a 0% surgical MRSA infection rate, the ultra-clean, state-of-the-art surgery center allows DISC surgeons to perform pioneering techniques for minimally invasive spinal surgery and advanced arthroscopic and endoscopic procedures on an outpatient basis.

All of these elements come together, affording each patient an unsurpassed level of care, from diagnosis through treatment, training and recovery.

Message from DISC’s Founding Director

“Continuing a 20-year career in private practice, I established DISC Sports & Spine Center with the single goal of offering a new model of medical services for spinal care, orthopaedics and sports medicine. After developing hospital-based spinal programs at many of the city’s local facilities, I became convinced that a comprehensive system, greatly extending the standard of care currently available could be accomplished with the correct group of physicians, nurses and support staff all working together with the latest advances in technology. Combining a robust set of diagnostic and conservative care treatment options with our ultra-clean highly advanced outpatient surgical center, we have achieved this model with DISC. I am both proud and honored to lead the DISC team in our quest to set a new gold standard in ambulatory medicine and patient care.”
