Awake Spinal Fusion for Springfield NJ Patients
Dr. Sharan pioneered the awake spinal fusion technique in the United States — replacing general anesthesia with regional anesthesia so patients remain comfortable throughout surgery. For Springfield NJ patients, this means same-day discharge in most cases, a 2–4 week recovery (vs. 6–12 weeks traditional), fewer complications, and significantly less blood loss. Beyond surgery, Dr. Sharan also offers IV infusion therapy for inflammation — part of a holistic spine care approach that most surgeons simply do not provide.
