Southern Orthopaedic Surgeons Expands Advanced Spine Care with Addition of Dr. Milo Sanda

MONTGOMERY, AL — Southern Orthopaedic Surgeons (SOS) continues to expand access to advanced orthopedic care in the River Region with the addition of orthopedic spine surgeon Milo Sanda, DO. Dr. Sanda brings specialized expertise in both non-surgical spine care and the latest minimally invasive surgical techniques, including endoscopic spine surgery.

Patients will be able to see Dr. Sanda in Montgomery, Prattville, and Wetumpka, increasing access to specialized spine care throughout Central Alabama. He will perform surgical procedures at both Jackson Surgery Center and Baptist Medical Center South, giving patients more options for where they receive care.

One of Dr. Sanda's specialties is endoscopic spine surgery, an innovative minimally invasive procedure that allows surgeons to treat many spinal conditions through a small incision using a specialized camera and instruments. Compared to traditional open procedures, endoscopic techniques are designed to minimize muscle disruption, reduce postoperative pain, and help many patients return to normal activities sooner.

In addition to surgery, Dr. Sanda provides comprehensive spine care with a focus on exhausting conservative treatment whenever appropriate. His practice includes advanced image-guided spinal injections, radiofrequency ablation, and individualized treatment plans designed to relieve pain while helping patients avoid surgery whenever possible.

"The addition of Dr. Sanda reflects our commitment to continually expanding the level of orthopedic care available in the River Region," said Dr. Steve Samelson, President of the Physician Board for Southern Orthopaedic Surgeons. "Orthopedic care continues to evolve, and our responsibility is to ensure patients in Central Alabama have access to the latest proven techniques and technologies without having to leave their community. Dr. Sanda's expertise strengthens our ability to provide comprehensive spine care while continuing to move orthopedic innovation forward."

Dr. Sanda's arrival also represents another step in Southern Orthopaedic Surgeons' long-term vision for the future of orthopedic care. As the practice prepares for its planned state-of-the-art Southern Orthopaedic Surgery Center, currently approved through Alabama's Certificate of Need process, patients will have expanded access to advanced outpatient orthopedic procedures in a state-of-the-art, single-specialty ambulatory surgery center designed specifically for musculoskeletal care. The facility is planned to incorporate advanced modular surgical lighting and air purification technology designed to create an exceptionally clean operating environment and help reduce the risk of infection and contamination. The addition of advanced spine procedures, including endoscopic spine surgery, will further broaden the comprehensive surgical services planned for the facility.

For nearly three decades, Southern Orthopaedic Surgeons has invested in bringing leading orthopedic physicians, innovative technology, and specialized treatment options to the River Region. The addition of Dr. Sanda continues that commitment by expanding access to comprehensive spine care close to home.

Dr. Sanda is now accepting new patients.
