Salem patients just north of the Massachusetts border travel approximately 70 minutes to Dr. Basques at the Cumberland office. As a major retail hub and growing residential community in southern New Hampshire, Salem is home to many residents who appreciate having access to advanced spine surgery without needing to navigate into Boston. Dr. Basques provides Salem patients with the full spectrum of modern spine surgery: from conservative decompression procedures like laminectomy and foraminotomy to the most advanced motion-preserving technologies including cervical disc replacement and lumbar disc replacement. For Salem patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis or spinal stenosis, minimally invasive fusion techniques (MIS TLIF) performed through two small incisions provide definitive treatment with dramatically less muscle damage and faster recovery than traditional open fusion.
Dr. Basques sees patients from Salem Depot, Rockingham Park, North Salem, Arlington, Canobie Lake, Millville, Tuscan Village and all surrounding neighborhoods. As one of very few spine surgeons in New England offering the complete range of advanced surgical techniques under one roof, he provides Salem residents with options that go far beyond what is typically available at community hospitals and even many academic medical centers.
