Coastal Spine’s experienced spine-specialized orthopedic surgeons, spine neurosurgeon, and physical medicine and rehabilitation doctors work with patients from around the region whose disorders range from simple to highly complex. Their goal is to end patients’ acute or chronic pain and restore health and normal activity as soon as possible. Back and neck conditions Coastal Spine specializes in include age-related degenerative diseases like sciatica, spondylolisthesis (slipping vertebrae), spondylosis (spine arthritis), and spinal stenosis. They also treat spinal curvature abnormalities, including scoliosis, lordosis, and kyphosis. Patients benefit from the expert care of fractures, spinal tumors, and joint osteoarthritis. Coastal Spine’s doctors treat people experiencing pain for the first time, those with long-term conditions, and patients who’ve had previous treatments or surgeries but gotten no relief. They also have in-depth knowledge of handling workers’ compensation and motor vehicle injuries. On-site diagnostic testing includes X-ray, electromyography (EMG), and nerve conduction studies. Coastal Spine begins with conservative treatments, including physical therapy, medication, trigger point injections, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy. Cutting-edge therapies for nonresponsive conditions include epidural steroid injections and radiofrequency ablation. In severe cases, Coastal Spine’s experienced surgeons do advanced surgeries, including cervical discectomy, anterior lumbar total disc arthroplasty, transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion, and thoracic fusion. These procedures are done at the practice’s nearby spine surgery center or a local hospital.

Orthopedics UnlimitedMichael Rieber, MD, is a skilled orthopedic surgeon who offers conservative and minimally invasive care for patients at Orthopedics Unlimited in Livingston, New Jersey. Dr. Rieber always tries to find alternative treatments to surgery. When surgery is needed, he is proud to provide state-of-the-art arthroscopy and robotic surgery. Dr. Rieber earned his medical degree from New York Medical College in Valhalla, New York. He went on to pursue further training through an orthopedic surgery residency at Albany Medical Center in Upstate New York. Dr. Rieber completed his sports medicine fellowship at Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania. In the early 2000s, Dr. Rieber realized there was a need for more surgical joint replacement treatments as he observed patients struggling to recover from broken hips. This insight led him to develop an institute that improves the overall experience of those who need a total joint replacement in the hospital. The changes recognized include pre-operative planning, better nurse-patient ratios, and a customized recovery experience. Another patient-focused solution Dr. Rieber volunteered to implement was pioneering the breakthrough anesthetic drug Exparel during knee surgeries. The pain medication numbs the area where it was administered for up to three days, providing more comfort to the patient post-surgery. Dr. Rieber's patients claimed that their life had improved only a week after surgery because of greater mobility.
