    • Back in Uniform: A Police Officer’s Journey to Full Duty After Motion-Preserving Spine Surgery

      Back in Uniform: A Police Officer’s Journey to Full Duty After Motion-Preserving Spine Surgery
      Dec 17 2025
      In this special episode of The Spine Pod, hosts Courtney Schutze and Brady Riesgraf sit down with Andrew, a spine surgery patient and police officer from San Diego, California, who shares his powerful story of choosing motion-preserving artificial disc replacement (ADR) over fusion for his chronic back pain. In this first patient story ever on The Spine Pod, Andrew offers a powerful and personal perspective on his life before and after spine surgery. After years of chronic back pain, increasingly limited mobility, and being told fusion was his only option, Andrew began looking for spine surgery treatment options. His search for spine care led him to Dr. Todd Lanman, a leading spine surgeon in Beverly Hills, who offered him a different path beyond the standard spinal fusion. Andrew ultimately decided to make an out-of-pocket investment in his future and opted for a multi-level artificial disc replacement, which gave him back his movement, confidence, and identity. Andrew opens up about his experience navigating the healthcare system, what it felt like to take control of his care, and how the decision to prioritize motion over fusion changed his life. From the pain of being sidelined from his career and identity as a police officer, to the hope and healing that followed surgery, Andrew’s journey through chronic back and leg pain is honest, emotional, and deeply inspiring. In this episode, you’ll learn: What it’s like to navigate the healthcare system as a patient looking for alternatives to spinal fusionWhy Andrew travelled and paid out of pocket for a motion-preserving spine surgeryWhat recovery from spine surgery was really like and how it compared to Andrew’s expectationsThe emotional and mental toll of living with chronic pain, and the impact of reclaiming motion and activityWhy patients are becoming more informed, more proactive, and more willing to seek innovative care options, even when insurance won’t cover it If you’ve been told spinal fusion is your only option, you’re not alone, and you’re not without alternatives. If you’re a patient exploring your options or wondering whether motion-preserving spine surgery might be right for you, Andrew’s story is a must-listen.

    • A Surgeon’s Blueprint: Building a Better Patient Experience in Spine Care, Kamal Woods, MD, MBA

      A Surgeon’s Blueprint: Building a Better Patient Experience in Spine Care, Kamal Woods, MD, MBA
      Nov 20 2025
      In this episode of The Spine Pod, hosts Courtney Schutze and Brady Riesgraf sit down with Dr. Kamal Woods, a double fellowship-trained surgeon in both orthopedics and neurosurgery, and founder of Vertrae® in Miamisburg, Ohio. Dr. Woods received his medical degree from Loma Linda University School of Medicine and completed a fellowship in minimally invasive and complex spine surgery from Cedars‑Sinai Medical Center. He later earned his MBA from Johns Hopkins Carey Business School, further deepening his understanding of the complex healthcare ecosystem and how to improve it. Since then, he has gone on to build a patient-centered practice rooted in the belief that one size does not fit all when it comes to spine care. Whether a patient needs a non‑surgical treatment, minimally invasive surgery, or motion‑preserving option, the goal remains the same: restore mobility, alleviate pain, and help patients return to what they love most. Throughout the episode, Dr. Woods shares his philosophy of combining surgical precision with compassionate, personalized care. He also discusses the importance of having a full “toolbox” of treatments, from conservative care and robotic‑assisted techniques to artificial disc replacement, and why patient education and shared decision‑making are essential. He goes on to share how his background, far from conventional, has shaped his patient‑first mindset and his vision for modern spine care. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why motion preservation is more than a trend, it’s about protecting function and long-term quality of life.How insurance and reimbursement barriers can impact patient care, and the changes needed to move the field forward.Why outpatient, motion-preserving spine care is gaining momentum and what it takes to build a successful model.How Dr. Woods prioritizes patients through individualized treatment plans for those dealing with chronic leg and back pain.Why enabling technologies such as navigation and robotics are expanding into more surgical facilities.How Vertrae® is driving local innovation through education, community events, and an empowering patient-centered care model. Drawing on his childhood roots in Saint Vincent, his surgical training in California, and the practice he’s built in Ohio, Dr. Woods is shaping an innovative spine care model centered on motion preservation—designed to help patients return to the activities they love, all in one integrated setting. Whether you’re a surgeon focused on emerging technologies, an industry professional tracking care trends, or a patient seeking clarity in a crowded spine landscape, this episode delivers compelling insights on how treatment pathways are shifting and how modern practice models are evolving.

    • The Origin Story of Endoscopic Spine Care: Building On A Family Legacy, Christopher Yeung, MD

      The Origin Story of Endoscopic Spine Care: Building On A Family Legacy, Christopher Yeung, MD
      Jul 23 2025
      In this episode of The Spine Pod, hosts Courtney Schutze and Brady Riesgraf sit down with Dr. Christopher Yeung, the current President at the Desert Institute for Spine Care (DISC) in Phoenix, Arizona, a nationally recognized leader in endoscopic spine surgery and a driving force behind the shift toward outpatient, function-preserving procedures. Dr. Yeung’s approach to spine care blends innovation, mentorship, and generational legacy. As the son of Dr. Anthony Yeung, one of the earliest pioneers of endoscopic techniques in the U.S., Dr. Yeung was immersed in the world of minimally invasive spine surgery from an early age. His training under Dr. Robert Watkins IV, renowned for treating elite professional athletes, further shaped his philosophy of preserving function, reducing recovery time, and getting patients back to the activities they love. Today, Dr. Yeung carries that mission forward as the spine surgeon for Arizona State University, the Arizona Cardinals, Arizona Diamondbacks, and a host of additional professional sports teams. His work with high-performing athletes continues to influence his broader practice, reinforcing the value of outpatient surgical care, early mobility, and long-term performance. In this wide-ranging conversation, Dr. Yeung shares how combining endoscopic tools with a spine-focused ASC model is transforming both outcomes and the patient experience. He discusses the evolving expectations of active patients, the accelerating shift towards outcome-driven decisions, and why outpatient spine care is no longer just for athletes, it’s for anyone who values function, mobility, and a faster recovery. In this episode, you’ll learn: • Why outpatient spine surgery is gaining traction across patient populations and what it takes to do it safely • How Dr. Yeung’s work with professional athletes shaped his thinking on recovery, function, and surgical decision-making • How Dr. Yeung’s father, Anthony Yeung, MD, pioneered endoscopic spine surgery in the U.S. and how Dr. Yeung has built upon that foundation over the past 20+ years • The importance of motion preservation, function, and expectation-setting when preparing for spine surgery • The variety of modern treatment options for patients struggling with chronic neck, leg and/or back pain This conversation captures the mindset and momentum of one of the field’s most forward-thinking MIS and endoscopic spine surgeons and offers a glimpse into the future of spine care.
