The information provided on this website by The Spine Pro and Dr. Hooman Melamed, MD is for general educational purposes only. It describes spine conditions, treatments, and procedures in broad terms so you can have a more informed conversation with a qualified healthcare provider. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
No medical advice
Nothing on this website is intended to be, and it should not be taken as, medical advice for your specific situation. Always seek the advice of Dr. Melamed or another qualified healthcare provider with any questions you have about a medical condition or treatment. Never disregard professional medical advice, or delay seeking it, because of something you have read here.
No doctor–patient relationship
Reading this website, contacting us through a form, or uploading imaging for review does not by itself create a doctor–patient relationship. That relationship is established only after you become a patient of the practice through the appropriate intake and consultation process.
Individual results vary
Any patient stories, reviews, before-and-after images, or outcomes described on this website reflect individual experiences. They are not a promise or guarantee of any particular result. Every spine is different, and the right approach — including whether surgery is appropriate at all — depends on a personal evaluation of your own history and imaging.
In an emergency
This website is not for medical emergencies. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. Do not use this website or its contact forms to request urgent or emergency care.
Third-party links and content
This website may link to third-party websites, videos, or media for your convenience. We do not control that content and are not responsible for its accuracy, and a link does not imply our endorsement. Use of any third-party content is at your own risk and is subject to that third party’s own terms and privacy practices.
Accuracy and updates
We work to keep the information on this website accurate and current, but medical knowledge changes and we make no warranty that all content is complete or up to date. We may update or correct content at any time without notice.
