Hooman Melamed, MD is a board certified orthopedic spine surgeon who specializes in minimally invasive endoscopic and microscopic spinal and scoliosis surgery and is on the vanguard of cutting-edge treatments involving nonsurgical cell therapy with PRP and bone marrow, artificial disc replacement, alternative treatment options for traditional fusion surgeries and more. He's also developed a non-opioid protocol (he rarely if ever prescribes opioids anymore) which starts by putting his patients on a strict anti-inflammatory diet high on leafy greens and other veggies with no dairy, animal proteins or other foods that cause inflammation. They are also prescribed probiotics specially formulated to fight inflammation. Right before surgery, they are given a cocktail of Tylenol, Celebrex, Tramadol and Lyrica and right at the time of closure he injects them with Naropin (like a long-acting Lidocaine). Upon discharge, patients may take extra-strength Tylenol or over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like Tramadol and Lyrica as needed to ease any pain. Also, they are encouraged to take natural inflammatory foods like fish oil and turmeric.
