Dr. Theodore Koreckij, M.D.

Dr. Koreckij joined Dickson-Diveley Orthopaedics in 2014. As a spine surgeon, his area of expertise lies in the treatment of adult degenerative disorders of spine, as well as spine conditions associated with metastatic disease. He enjoys being a spine surgeon because of the complex anatomy of the spine and the significant impact he can have on a patient’s quality of life through the proper diagnosis and treatment of spine conditions. Spine surgery procedures commonly performed by Dr. Koreckij include:
• Spinal decompression or laminectomy
• Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF)
• Lumbar fusion
• Osteotomy
• Microdiscectomy
• Cervical disc replacement
• Spinal instrumentation
In addition to surgical treatment options, patients with lower back pain may be candidates for the INTRACEPT Clinical Study, now available at Dickson-Diveley Orthopaedics through Dr. Koreckij. The study is evaluating the Intracept Procedure, a minimally invasive procedure for the relief of chronic low back pain.
