MD Spine Care and Orthopaedics
About MD Spine Care and Orthopaedics
Located in San Antonio, Texas, MD Spine Care and Orthopaedics is a specialized orthopedic center that blends cutting‑edge regenerative orthopedics with expert spine surgery. The practice’s core identity centers on treating spinal conditions while also offering comprehensive orthopedic care for the knee, shoulder, foot and ankle. The team emphasizes a non‑surgical, patient‑first philosophy, utilizing platelet‑rich plasma (PRP) injections, stem cell therapy, and other regenerative medicine techniques to accelerate healing and reduce reliance on medication. When conservative measures such as physical therapy, corticosteroid injections, and ultrasound‑guided PRP are insufficient, minimally invasive spine surgeries—including anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), extreme lateral interbody fusion (XLIF®), and Mobi‑C cervical disc replacement—are performed with regenerative adjuncts to support recovery. Founded by board‑certified orthopedic spine surgeon Frank K. Kuwamura III, MD, the practice draws on decades of surgical expertise and a commitment to innovative care. Key physicians such as Dr. David M. Gonzalez, MD, FACS, and a multidisciplinary staff bring specialized knowledge in sports medicine, pain management, and extremity surgery, reinforcing MD Spine Care’s reputation as a trusted authority in non‑surgical joint pain relief and regenerative spinal surgery.
