Summary

  • Dr. Jeffrey Cantor is an internationally-recognized spine surgeon and one of the world’s foremost leaders responsible for significant breakthroughs in the most advanced, minimally-invasive “ultrasonic” techniques and procedures. His practice is grounded in motion-preserving and function-sparing spinal surgery, with an emphasis on fusion alternative surgery, for the treatment of cervical stenosis, lumbar stenosis, lumbar spondylolisthesis, scoliosis, and other disabling spinal problems. Dr. Cantor devotes his life’s work to advance the field of spinal surgery through safe, innovative, and transformative techniques.

    Dr. Cantor is committed to continuously evolving, identifying, addressing, and solving for the myriad shortcomings of traditional spine surgery and dated methodology – including recurring pain, the creation of three new problems in the fixing of one, compromised mobility and function, over-stress of joints, the likelihood of additional surgery, and less-than-optimal outcomes. His founding vision for Cantor Spine is to deliver lifestyle-preserving, long-lasting, superior solutions for patients with spine problems. Dr. Cantor’s pioneering, non-destructive processes, techniques, and procedures are the result of exhaustive research, painstaking outcome analysis, incessant practice, and a positive embrace of the benefits of ultrasonic technology.

    Ultrasonic technology is Dr. Cantor’s signature platform, enabling him to perform minimally-invasive treatments that are smarter, safer, future-minded, and better. Dr. Cantor continually develops and masters the most sophisticated new surgical techniques and tools, and his novel approach uses high frequency “ultrasonic” vibrations to dissolve painful bone spurs from the inside, out. Dr. Cantor’s expertise provides for a level of safety and precision that is not possible with traditional spine surgery tools and lasers.
