The Maryland Spine Center specializes in advanced treatment for spinal deformities, injuries, and degenerative conditions. Ranging from the most complex to more common spine and neck conditions, Charles C. Edwards, M.D., along with Charles C. Edwards, II, M.D., Clayton L. Dean, M.D., Brian D. Steinmetz, D.O., and Mara Vucich, D.O., are dedicated to providing patients with unique and innovative treatments enabling them to experience an improved quality of life. Respecting the delicate and complex balance of spinal anatomy and function, The Maryland Spine Center physicians favor non-operative treatment when possible and minimally invasive procedures when surgery is necessary. A nationally recognized expert in spinal conditions and owner of numerous patents, Dr. Edwards conducted extensive research and development to more accurately diagnose spinal disorders and improve the results of major spinal surgery. He focused on spinal biomechanics and the development of instrumentation and operations that permitted greater correction of major deformities with less invasive surgery than previously possible. After more than two decades of developing many successful new procedures, Dr. Edwards founded The Maryland Spine Center to make these improved methods available to more patients in a comfortable, efficient, and pleasant environment. Dr. Edwards, Dr. Edwards II, Dr. Dean, Dr. Steinmetz and Dr. Vucich continue to research new approaches to spine care. They use a systematic approach and precise techniques for high degree of diagnostic accuracy. When surgery is indicated, they utilize state-of-the-art technology combined with minimally invasive approaches to provide optimal symptom relief with a typically accelerated recovery. Microscopic discectomy, lumbar decompressions, minimally invasive lumbar fusion using bone morphogenic protein and posterior fixation, anterior cervical fusion, and scoliosis correction are standard procedures. Following surgery, the Center’s use of physical therapy and rehabilitation resources help speed patient recovery. The physicians have been featured on Mercy Medical Center’s The Woman’s Doctor program as well as other local and national television and publications.
