David Jackson, MD is a board certified and fellowship-trained orthopedic spine surgeon. He subscribes to a multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of conditions of the spine.
Prior to joining The CORE Institute, Dr. Jackson cared for patients in Northern California at the Spine Care Medical Group. He strongly believes that physical therapy, pain management, therapeutic injections, bracing and other modalities are central to the treatment of his patients and he works closely with therapists, pain management providers and other physicians to insure that his patients get the most comprehensive treatments available, tailored to their needs. When surgery is indicated Dr. Jackson provides the latest treatment of degenerative, traumatic and sports related conditions of the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine, as well as spinal deformities caused by tumors, infection and spinal cord or other neurologic injuries or conditions. He has a considerable experience in less invasive techniques of the cervical and lumbar spine as well as traditional open and major reconstructive surgical techniques for patients with advanced deformities or those in need of revision surgery after failed spinal procedures.
