Colin M. Haines, M.D.
Spinal Surgeon
Hailing from the Cleveland Clinic, Dr. Haines joins the nationally-recognized team of spinal specialists at Virginia Spine Institute to expand practice capacity and strengthen expertise in the most advanced spinal treatment options. His background, reinforced by his clinical experience and treatment philosophy, positions him to provide progressive treatment solutions to get patients back to a pain-free lifestyle more quickly. He works collaboratively with our pain management specialists and physical therapists to provide the most comprehensive treatment plans and improved post-operative rehabilitation pathways.
Specializing in the management of degenerative cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine conditions, as well as complex spinal deformity, Dr. Haines utilizes the latest non-operative and operative treatment options including minimally invasive and motion-preserving surgical techniques. Examples are cervical disc replacement and laminoplasty as an alternative to cervical spinal fusions.
His interest in medicine began at a young age and was solidified when he suffered a lumbar disc herniation in high school. After undergoing successful non-operative treatment, he was back on his feet and profoundly impacted by the process of healing! This experience fueled his ambition to become a physician and helped inspire his empathy for spinal conditions.
During the initial patient consultation, Dr. Haines intently listens and learns the in-depth history of a patient’s pain and impairment as well as their goals for recovery. This information, paired with a detailed physical exam and appropriate imaging studies, allows him to present and explain diagnoses and tailored treatment options. Dr. Haines works collaboratively with the patient to devise the most successful treatment plan to get patients back to a pain-free lifestyle!
