A third-generation orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Spain Hodges would shadow his grandfather as a child and knew at an early age he wanted to become an orthopedic surgeon. After completion of his residency and a reconstructive spine surgery fellowship in Jackson, Mississippi, Dr. Hodges returned to the Birmingham area where he was born and raised.
Dr. Hodges takes each patient’s condition and situation into consideration when developing a treatment plan that best suits their needs. After identifying your condition, Dr. Hodges will walk you through the steps of treatment including utilization of nonoperative conservative treatment options prior to consideration of surgical intervention. Once conservative options are exhausted and surgery is required, all attempts are made to utilize minimally invasive techniques to ease patient recovery.
Dr. Hodges currently treats conditions of the spine, predominantly neck and lower back conditions. He specializes in minimally invasive procedures including cervical and lumbar neurological decompression, minimally invasive spinal fusion surgery and disc replacement.
Dr. Hodges is Board Certified by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery and a fellow member of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.
Dr. Hodges is married to a nurse and has two children. He likes to spend outside of work listening to music, cooking and traveling.
