Dr. John R. Worley is Jefferson City Medical Group’s premier spine surgery specialist and has dedicated his career to providing comprehensive spine care and surgery to his patients. He has a special interest in motion preserving (non-fusion), minimally invasive, scoliosis, and revision surgeries.
“Spine-related pain is one of the most common reasons for disability and decreased quality of life in the world,” Dr. Worley notes. “My goal as a spine surgeon is to provide the best evidence-based and patient-centered care, whether that is surgical or non-surgical management, to help get my patients back to work and to the activities they enjoy.”
Dr. Worley treats a variety of spine conditions, such as neck and back pain, herniated discs, pinched nerves, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, spinal deformity (scoliosis), and spinal fractures. He also provides general orthopaedic trauma care.
As a part of JCMG Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine, Dr. Worley provides cutting-edge spine surgeries. Common surgeries include minimally invasive decompression and discectomy, motion-preserving cervical disc replacement, anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), lumbar spine fusion through the anterior (ALIF), lateral (XLIF) and posterior (TLIF) approaches, cervical laminoplasty, and more. Dr. Worley’s goal is to provide patient-specific care in the most minimally invasive way possible.
