Dr. Junius Clawson is a spine surgery and orthopedics/orthopedic surgery specialist in Salt Lake City, UT. He attended Medical College of Wisconsin.

"Dr Clawson is wonderful. My Aunt and my Husband have seen him for years due to injuries from auto accidents. When I started having issues we made an appointment and saw him right away. He explained my issues in a way I could understand and showed me on the x-rays why I was in pain and suffering nerve issues. He even referred me to a nerve conduction specialist so we cold pin down exactly where the issues were when the injections did not help. Once all of that was completed we scheduled surgery. The surgery corrected the issue and I feel so much better! His aftercare and staff have been wonderful through all of this and always made me feel at ease. They take the time to answer my questions; no matter how silly. LoL I would give him a higher score if I could. I have even sent my Mom and some others to him since!"

What is Spine Surgery?

Spinal surgery is the subspecialty that uses surgery to restore the normal function of the spine when things go wrong due to trauma, disease, or other disorders. There are many ways that the spine can begin to hurt or lose the ability to move properly, and surgery is not always necessary. However, when surgery is needed, there's no one more qualified for the job than a spine surgeon.

Spinal surgery can be considered a subspecialty of either orthopedics or neurosurgery. That means that a spine surgeon may take either path to this specific career, training first as either an orthopedist or a neurosurgeon. Orthopedics deals mainly with the structural issues of the back and spine: the bones, muscles, and joints. Neurosurgery deals mainly with issues of the brain, nerves, and spinal cord. So when choosing a spine surgeon, it is sometimes possible that a surgeon's background will have a bearing on someone's particular diagnosis. However, in most cases, it doesn't matter. Either an orthopedist-spine surgeon or a neurosurgeon-spine surgeon can handle the majority of spine surgeries. What is more important is that some spine surgeons specialize in specific areas of the spine, such as lumbar surgery or cervical surgery. In that case, it is important to connect with a surgeon who is experienced with a patient's particular need.

Some of the surgeries performed on the spine include:

Correction of spinal deformities, such as scoliosis
Spinal fusion
Minimally invasive spine surgery, including decompression surgeries such as discectomy and laminectomy
Balloon kyphoplasty, a procedure done to repair compression fractures in vertebrae

The spine is a very complicated piece of the body's machinery, and a very necessary part of movement and function. It holds people up and allows them move. Having a working spine is important, and having a skilled surgeon when spinal surgery is needed is critical.
