Christopher Chittum, MD, a Neurosurgeon with Carolina Orthopedic - Neurosurgical Associates
Aug 18, 2023
Get to know Neurosurgeon Dr. Christopher Chittum, who serves patients throughout the State of South Carolina.
New York City, New York Aug 17, 2023 (Issuewire.com) - A remarkable figure in the realm of neurosurgery, Dr. Chittum is affiliated with Carolina Orthopedic & Neurosurgical Associates, and serves as the Chairman of the Division of Neurosurgery at Spartanburg Regional Hospital.
Throughout his distinguished career, he has been at the forefront of treating a wide spectrum of spinal conditions. From traumatic fractures to acute and degenerative disk issues, his comprehensive approach integrates surgical and non-surgical therapies to tailor treatment plans that prioritize patient well-being. His expertise even extends to the intricate realm of artificial disk replacement for the cervical spine when deemed appropriate.
Having undergone rigorous training at the esteemed Medical University of South Carolina, Dr. Chittum's formative years were shaped under the guidance of none other than Sunil Patel, MD, a luminary in neurosurgical surgery. This tutelage laid the foundation for his exceptional skills and deep understanding of neurosurgical intricacies.
What truly sets Dr. Chittum apart is his unparalleled dedication to spinal treatments. Unlike many "fellowship" trained spine surgeons, his neurosurgery training comprised an exhaustive seven-year immersion in the world of spinal care. This extended training has endowed him with a profound knowledge and expertise that extends beyond the norm.
Passionate about his profession, the doctor is board-certified in neurological surgery by the American Board of Neurological Surgery (ABNS). The broad aim of the ABNS is to encourage the study, improve the practice, elevate the standards and advance the science of neurological surgery and thereby serve the cause of public health.
On a professional level, his pioneering spirit becomes evident in his groundbreaking utilization of robotic guidance for lumbar and thoracic spinal fusion--a feat that remains unmatched in both North and South Carolina. His name is synonymous with innovation in the field, as he has not only introduced but also harnessed the potential of robotic guidance for spinal procedures, delivering enhanced precision and outcomes to his patients.
In addition to his role at Spartanburg Regional Hospital, Dr. Chittum performs transformative work at both Mary Black Memorial and Pelham Hospital. Patients under his care benefit not only from his technical mastery but also from his compassionate demeanor and commitment to guiding them through their medical journeys.
Neurosurgery is the medical specialty concerned with the prevention, diagnosis, surgical treatment, and rehabilitation of disorders which affect any portion of the nervous system including the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, and extra-cranial cerebrovascular system. Neurosurgeons are doctors who diagnose and treat problems with the nervous system, often by performing surgery on the brain or spine. They treat strokes, tumors, cervical and lumbar disc disease, infections, and head or spinal cord injuries.
