Biography: Dr. David Paulson is a Neurosurgeon with Fellowship Training in Complex Spinal Deformity and Minimally Invasive Spine surgery. He is prepared to address both complicated and straightforward spine disease in Alaska. He welcomes those seeking a second opinion for management of spine disease. Dr. Paulson has a passion for acute and chronic adult degenerative spine disease and has expertise in revision spine surgery in order to treat difficult to manage spine disease such as failed back surgery syndrome, acquired surgical deformities such as flat-back syndrome, and adjacent segment disease.Dr. Paulson understands that in most cases it is important to postpone surgery and he emphasizes the employment of non-surgical management for symptoms arising from spine disease. In keeping with Dr. Paulson's values, decisions for surgery are reserved until reasonable conservative management attempts have failed and the effects of spinal disease have risen to the point where a patient becomes completely intolerant of their symptoms. As with Dr. Paulson's conservative management approach, once a decision has been made to treat spine disease with a surgical procedure, he, again, works with his patients to tailor a treatment plan for their unique condition. His training emphasized a holistic approach to spine disease and identifying cause and effect relationships of the patient's spine disease with the patient's spinal balance.When surgery is being considered, Dr. Paulson's general approach is to first consider non-fusion types of surgery that relieve pressure on nerves and preserve anatomy. He feels that the importance of preserving structure and motion cannot be overstated. Sometimes there are considerations such as anatomic deformities that lead to spinal instability and fusion is then recommended. If fusion is indicated he carefully considers the options with the various types of spine fusion surgeries to treat the symptoms of spine disease, preserve or improve spinal balance and minimize the risks of surgery to the patient. Dr. Paulson earned his Medical Degree from the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio, Texas in 2005. He has completed his general surgery internship at the University of Colorado and an NIH funded post-doctoral research fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania.
