Our goal is to help patients find lasting relief from symptoms caused by a wide range of spine and nerve conditions. Board-certified neurosurgeon Dr. Joel D. Siegal specializes in both non-surgical treatments and advanced spinal surgery—offering a personalized approach to each patient’s care.
Whenever possible, Dr. Siegal begins with conservative, noninvasive options to reduce pain and restore function. If surgery is needed, he performs minimally invasive spine procedures designed to relieve pressure on the nerves, improve mobility, and support long-term recovery.
Under Dr. Siegal’s expert care, patients often experience faster healing, less post-operative discomfort, and significant improvement in quality of life. If you’re dealing with ongoing neck pain, back pain, or neurological symptoms like tingling, numbness, or weakness, and nothing has worked so far, it may be time to explore surgical options.

Dr. Siegal also performs a variety of additional spinal procedures tailored to each patient’s condition and needs. At Key Clinics, we’re committed to helping individuals with spine and nerve issues find real relief through expert care and advanced surgical techniques.
- Corpectomy – With this spinal surgery, Dr. Siegal removes a portion of the vertebral body to take pressure off the nerves and spinal cord. Typically, he performs this procedure on patients with a fracture, tumor, infection, bone spur or stenosis.
- MicroDiscectomy – When dealing with a bulging or herniated disc anywhere along the spinal column, a discectomy is typically the preferred surgical procedure. Through a small incision and the use of a microscope, Dr. Siegal removes the disc fragment, which alleviates nerve compression. He performs this surgery on patients with sciatica, radiculopathy, bone spurs, and pinched nerves.
- MicroForaminotomy – This spine surgery widens the tunnel in the back of the spine at the location where nerve roots exit the spinal canal. Dr. Siegal performs this procedure for many different spine and nerve conditions, like a herniated disc, pinched nerve, radiculopathy, sciatica, bone spurs, and foraminal stenosis.
- Sacroiliac Joint Fusion - Dr. Siegal and his team are experienced at treating sacroiliac joint pain, both nonoperatively and surgically. SI joint pain is one of the leading causes of back pain and frequently is not recognized by health care providers.
- Spinal Fusion – Dr. Siegal uses this spinal surgery to help stabilize the spine. Using a type of grafting material, he fuses two or more bones, preventing any movement between them. The most common conditions of the spine that benefit from this procedure include fractures, scoliosis, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, tumors, and infections.
