Dr. Cronin, who has served Brevard County since 2020, has a unique approach in maintaining spinal motion in orthopedic spine care due to his background in biomedical mechanical engineering.

As an avid endurance athlete himself, Dr. Cronin strongly believes in whatever is needed to help his patients and friends return to their active lives after an accident or injury.
 
Dr. Cronin has sought out the most advanced training and technologies currently in the field of spine surgery to provide the highest level of care to his patients. He believes in maximizing responsible nonsurgical spine care prior to considering any surgical interventions. This can include epidural steroid injections, facet injections, or radio frequency ablations. This can also include research-based regenerative therapies following strict medical standards.

If surgery is needed, Dr. Cronin focuses on specifically diagnosing the primary source of the patient's pain. This focused, accurate diagnosis allows Dr. Cronin and his skilled team to provide the most minimally invasive solution possible.

As an athlete and bioengineer, Dr. Cronin believes in preserving motion and biomechanics whenever possible. With an accurate diagnosis and the most advanced spine surgical techniques currently available, outpatient rapid recovery spine surgery is frequently an option for his patients. This includes outpatient cervical or lumbar disk replacement, one inch incision laminectomy or microdiscectomy and, if ultimately necessary, minimally invasive fusion.

Additionally, if a patient does have a large or small deformity that requires correction, Dr. Cronin uses minimally invasive anterior techniques to correct the deformity. Dr. Cronin is also trained in robotically-guided screw placement which can be beneficial in some complex spine surgeries.

Our goal at Restore Spine and Orthopedics is to treat our patients like family, while providing the highest level of spine care possible. We truly believe in helping people return to their maximal level of activity, motion, and happiness.
