Is There a Role for Cold Laser Therapy in a Perioperative Neurosurgical Patient?

Dr. Januszewski is one of the few Minimally Invasive (MIS) Complex Spine Deformity surgeons in the country, specially trained by the current leader in this field and a chief of spine surgery at Barrow Neurological Institute in Arizona, Dr. Juan Uribe, MD. He is trained to perform complex spine reconstruction with minimally invasive techniques minimizing blood loss, length of hospital stay, and recovery time. Dr. Januszewski evaluates each patient’s spinal biomechanics and treats the spine with respect to maintaining its proper alignment and balance to avoid failure of fusion caused by iatrogenic flat back and adjacent segment disease. He is highly trained in revision surgery for flat back and iatrogenic spinal deformity and scoliosis and welcomes new patients who may have undiagnosed back problem related to their prior spine surgery.

Dr. Jacob Januszewski received his undergraduate degree in 2005 from Kalamazoo College with a major in Biology. He received his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2010 and completed his neurosurgical residency in 2016 at North Shore – LIJ University Hospital, Northwell Health System on Long Island, NY. Dr. Januszewski is an active member of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS), Congress of Neurological Surgeons (CNS), and Society of Lateral Access Surgeons (SOLAS). He is also a member of the American Osteopathic Association (AOA) and the American College of Osteopathic Surgeons (ACOS).
