See What Our Patients Say

Dr. Ball is one of the most caring and understanding doctors I've known. He supports what is right and will fight for his patients. He truly cares, and I found out he is well respected by his colleagues and other patients as well. He is an incredible doctor and human being.

R. P.

Prior to seeing Dr. Ball, I had gone to 8 different orthopedic surgeons in the Bay Area. I was suffering from a badly compressed and herniated disc and was in constant pain. I felt extremely comfortable with Dr. Ball because he teaches disc replacement surgery and he listened to all my concerns.

M. W.

I had two neck surgeries/ fusions from injuries at work. Very good doctor and his bedside manner is great. His staff is very friendly. Highly recommended by nursing staff and X-ray departments. They don’t work for him, so to get that representation says something!

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes CalSpine MD different from other spine clinics?

At CalSpine MD, we believe in a comprehensive approach to spine health. We prioritize non-surgical options whenever possible and utilize the latest advancements in minimally invasive techniques when surgery is necessary. You'll receive personalized care from Dr. Ball, who takes the time to understand your unique needs and goals.

What is minimally invasive spine surgery?

Minimally invasive spine surgery uses smaller incisions and advanced technology to treat spine conditions with less disruption to surrounding muscles and tissues. This often leads to less pain, faster recovery, and minimal scarring.

How do I know if I’m a candidate for minimally invasive spine surgery?

During your consultation, Dr. Ball will assess your condition, medical history, and lifestyle to determine if a minimally invasive procedure is the best solution for you. Whenever possible, we prioritize non-surgical treatments first.

What conditions can be treated with minimally invasive spine surgery?

Minimally invasive techniques can effectively treat conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, and more. During your consultation, Dr. Ball will discuss the best treatment options for your specific condition.

What is an artificial disc replacement?

Artificial disc replacement is a procedure that replaces a damaged spinal disc with a specialized implant designed to maintain natural movement. This approach can reduce pain and improve mobility while preserving flexibility in the spine.

What are sacroiliac joint injections, and how do they help?

Sacroiliac joint injections deliver targeted medication to reduce inflammation and relieve pain in the lower back and pelvic region. They are often used to diagnose and manage SI joint dysfunction.

What is robotic-assisted spine surgery?

Robotic-assisted spine surgery enhances precision during procedures, allowing Dr. Ball to operate with greater accuracy. This technology improves outcomes and helps promote faster recovery.

How can high-frequency electromagnetic therapy help me?

This non-invasive treatment uses targeted electromagnetic energy to stimulate healing and reduce pain in the spine and abdomen. It’s ideal for patients seeking effective, non-surgical options for their condition.

Do I need a referral to schedule an appointment?

In many cases, you can schedule directly with our office without a referral. If you’re unsure, our team is happy to assist you in determining the next steps.

What is the typical wait time for an appointment?

We strive to get new patients in as quickly as possible. In most cases, we can schedule a consultation within 2-3 weeks, and sooner for urgent cases.

Do you accept my insurance?

We accept a wide range of insurance plans. Please contact our office to verify your specific coverage.
