Rebuilding a spine is more than surgery, it’s restoring a life. At UConn Health’s Brain and Spine Institute, Orthopaedic Spine Surgeon Dr. Hardeep Singh specializes in some of the most complex spine surgeries performed today: from minimally invasive spine surgeries to complex reconstructive procedures for patients with spinal infections, tumor, deformities and failed prior surgeries. This creates a rigid deformity that forces patients into a stooped position, leading to severe imbalance, pain, and loss of quality of life. “These conditions are not just about pain,” Singh explains. For patients like Tina and Julie, this means more than a straighter spine – it means the change to reclaim their independence, dignity, and lives.
