LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESS Newswire / April 28, 2025 / In the realm of spinal disorders, few conditions are as elusive - and misunderstood - as Thoracic Myelopathy. This severely underdiagnosed condition leaves countless patients navigating a maze of doctors, tests, and misdiagnoses, often being told that nothing is wrong despite persistent, unexplained symptoms. Dr. Hooman Melamed, an esteemed Orthopedic Spine Surgeon in Beverly Hills Los Angeles County, is redefining the approach to this complex disorder with a groundbreaking, motion-sparing surgical technique that combines precision, innovation, and faster recovery - all without relying on narcotics.
What is Thoracic Myelopathy?
Thoracic Myelopathy occurs when the spinal cord becomes compressed in the mid-back (thoracic spine), leading to a cascade of confusing, often unrelated symptoms. Patients may experience:
Unexplained weakness/heaviness in the legs, making walking difficult
Balance issues or frequent falls
Burning, Pins/Needles, Tingling or numbness in the lower body
Loss of balance and coordination or difficulty with fine motor skills
Bowel or bladder dysfunction in severe cases
Unexplained Abdominal pain with full gastro intestinal workup
These symptoms are frequently attributed to aging, neuropathy, or other conditions - leaving patients without answers, and worse, without relief.
A Revolutionary Approach: Motion-Sparing, Minimally Invasive Surgery
Dr. Melamed stands at the forefront of innovation with his very unique minimally invasive transthoracic microscopic navigated-assisted decompression - a mouthful, but a true game-changer. Unlike traditional spinal surgeries that require large incisions, muscle disruption, and prolonged recovery times, Dr. Melamed's muscle-sparing technique combines advanced imaging and microscopic navigation to precisely target the compression site.
This motion-sparing approach protects surrounding tissues and preserves spinal mobility, offering unmatched precision and faster recovery times - often just a few weeks before patients start rehab. This method drastically reduces pain, scarring, and downtime, allowing patients to return to their daily lives faster than ever before.
A Non-Narcotic Path to Recovery
In a field where narcotics are often the default answer to post-surgical pain, Dr. Melamed takes a bold, healthier stance: No narcotics. His approach prioritizes patient safety and long-term wellness with alternative pain management solutions, including:
Regenerative therapies to accelerate healing
Targeted physical rehabilitation for strength and mobility
Advanced anti-inflammatory protocols to manage pain without opioids
"Patients deserve to heal without risking addiction or compromising their well-being. My goal is to get them back to living life - stronger, healthier, and pain-free - without the crutch of narcotics. The goal is to treat all patients as though they are professional athletes." Dr. Melamed asserts.
Embracing Innovation with Cutting-Edge Technology

This state-of-the-art tool provides patients with a 24/7 concierge service, answering questions on Dr. Melamed's unique surgical approaches and offering a white-glove level of support throughout the patient's journey.
