“Dr. Tyler J. Jenkins completed his medical education at the University of Missouri. He is a fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon. He completed his general surgery internship and orthopedic surgery residency at Northwestern University in Chicago, IL. He then completed a spine surgery fellowship at Emory University in Atlanta, GA. He is passionate about evidence-based spine care and believes that the best way to stay engaged in this life-long learning process is through research and a continuous search for solutions to clinical problems. He is an active researcher in spine conditions and orthopedics. He has earned top research awards from the North American Spine Society, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, and the Cervical Spine Research Society. He developed the "No S.C.A.R.E. Protocol" with top spine surgeons across the country to improve safety for patients undergoing cervical surgery nationwide. This has led Dr. Jenkins to conclude that collaborating evidence-based research and listening to each individual patient is at the heart of medicine. Most patients with spinal conditions do not need surgery and can be effectively managed with medications, injections, alternative medicine, diet, and exercise. Even if spine surgery is necessary, choosing a unique operation for the individual patient will lead to the best outcomes.”
