Theodore Koreckij, M.D.

Dr. Koreckij joined Dickson-Diveley Orthopaedics in 2014. As a spine surgeon, his area of expertise lies in the treatment of adult degenerative disorders of spine, as well as spine conditions associated with metastatic disease. He enjoys being a spine surgeon because of the complex anatomy of the spine and the significant impact he can have on a patient’s quality of life through the proper diagnosis and treatment of spine conditions. Spine surgery procedures commonly performed by Dr. Koreckij include:

Spinal decompression or laminectomy
Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF)
Lumbar fusion
Osteotomy
Microdiscectomy
Cervical disc replacement
Spinal instrumentation

In addition to surgical treatment options, patients with lower back pain may be candidates for the INTRACEPT Clinical Study, now available at Dickson-Diveley Orthopaedics through Dr. Koreckij. The study is evaluating the Intracept Procedure, a minimally invasive procedure for the relief of chronic low back pain. Learn more about Intracept in this educational video.
