Dr. Deeptee Jain | Minimally-Invasive Spine Surgeon | Washington University Orthopedics

Dr. Jain's practice focuses on the evaluation and treatment of degenerative spine conditions, including lumbar/cervical disc herniations, degenerative disc disease and spinal stenosis. Dr. Jain specializes in minimally invasive (MIS) spinal procedures, but uses traditional approaches when necessary. She also treats adult patients with spinal deformities and traumatic spinal injuries.

Common Diagnoses Treated

Adult spinal deformity
Degenerative disc disease (cervical)
Disc herniation (lumbar and cervical)
Sciatica
Spinal instability
Spinal stenosis (lumbar and cervical)
Spondylolisthesis
Traumatic spine injuries

Common Procedures

Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion
Cervical disc replacement
Cervical laminoplasty
Lumbar laminectomy
