Common Work-Related Spine Injuries We Treat

Spine injuries are among the most frequent and debilitating workplace incidents, affecting thousands of workers across Northern New Jersey each year. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, back-related issues account for over 20% of all workplace injuries, with industries like construction, healthcare, warehousing, and manufacturing seeing the highest rates. At NASPI, we’ve treated countless patients with work-related spine conditions, and we’re equipped to handle even the most complex cases. Here are some of the most common injuries we address:

Herniated Discs: Often caused by lifting heavy objects or sudden twisting motions, these injuries occur when the disc’s inner material bulges or ruptures, pressing on nearby nerves and causing intense pain or numbness.

Sciatica: A sharp, radiating pain from the lower back down the leg, typically due to nerve compression from repetitive strain or injury—common among workers who stand or sit for long periods.

Spinal Strains and Sprains: Overuse, poor posture, or sudden movements can stretch or tear the muscles and ligaments supporting the spine, leading to chronic discomfort.

Vertebral Fractures: Falls from heights or equipment mishaps can fracture spinal bones, requiring precise treatment to restore stability and function.

Our minimally invasive spine surgery techniques are designed to target these conditions with precision, minimizing recovery time so you can return to work stronger than ever. Don’t let pain dictate your career—NASPI offers the specialized care you need to overcome a workplace spine injury in Northern NJ.

NASPI - Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery: Faster Recovery, Less Pain

For workers injured on the job, time is critical—every day away from work can feel like a setback. Traditional open spine surgery often involves large incisions, significant blood loss, and months of recovery, which isn’t an option for many Northern NJ workers relying on workers’ compensation. At NASPI, we take a different approach with minimally invasive spine surgery, a revolutionary technique that prioritizes your healing and return to productivity. Here’s how it works:

Small Incisions: Using incisions as small as a few millimeters, we access the spine with minimal disruption to muscles and tissues.

Advanced Technology: Real-time imaging and precision instruments allow our surgeons to target the problem area without unnecessary damage.

Reduced Risks: Less invasive methods mean lower chances of infection, less blood loss, and fewer complications compared to traditional surgery.

Outpatient Options: Many of our procedures are performed on an outpatient basis, so you can recover at home instead of spending days in the hospital.

The result? Patients experience less post-operative pain, faster healing, and a quicker return to work—perfect for workers’ compensation cases where timely recovery is essential. From herniated disc repairs to spinal decompression, NASPI’s minimally invasive techniques are transforming spine care across Northern New Jersey. Ready to experience the difference? Let’s get started on your recovery plan today.

I’m so grateful to Dr. Boiardo for the care he gave me before, during, and after my knee surgery. From my first visit, he made me feel comfortable and confident in the plan for my treatment. He took the time to listen to my concerns, explain everything clearly, and answer all of my questions.

I’m truly happy with the results of my surgery. My knee feels so much better, my mobility has improved, and I’m able to do things again that had become difficult before. The improvement has made a real difference in my everyday life.

What I appreciated most was not only Dr. Boiardo’s skill as a surgeon, but also the kindness and personal attention I received throughout the process. I felt that I was in very capable hands every step of the way.

I would highly recommend Dr. Boiardo to anyone needing an orthopedic surgeon. I’m very thankful for the excellent care I received and for such a positive outcome.

I wanted to take your time today to write another review about the exceptional service that Dr. Dorri And staff at the hospital are excellent. I’ve been to so many other places where the doctors is good, but the staff are poor, but not Dorri’s staff in the hospital. They are exceptional. I seen the same faces and maybe one or two from the office but other than that the hospital staff with him when he’s is going to perform surgery don’t deserve five stars. I give them 10 stars.
