About

Board-certified orthopedic spine surgeon Kamshad Raiszadeh, MD, operates the SpineZone clinic in San Carlos at 8866 Navajo Rd, San Diego, CA 92119, where he serves as founder, chief medical officer, and Medical Director of the Advanced Spine Institute at Alvarado Hospital. Raiszadeh earned his medical degree from the University of California San Francisco, completed his orthopedic surgery residency at UC Davis Medical Center, and pursued a spine fellowship at the Hospital for Joint Diseases/NYU in New York City, leading to board certification from the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery. His clinical scope covers minimally invasive spinal surgery, cervical and lumbar disc replacement, complex spinal reconstruction for scoliosis and kyphosis, spinal stenosis decompression, and spondylolisthesis correction. The SpineZone model he founded in 2005 emphasizes non-operative rehabilitation as the first-line treatment for back and neck pain, with post-assessment therapy protocols coordinated through providers including San Diego Sports Medicine Physical Therapy on the Grantville corridor for cases requiring independent outpatient rehabilitation. Raiszadeh holds multiple patents in minimally invasive surgical devices and non-operative spine tools, and his published research includes peer-reviewed studies on exercise-based rehabilitation outcomes for lumbar spinal stenosis and low back pain adherence factors. Hospital affiliations include Scripps Green Hospital, Sharp Grossmont Hospital, Sharp Memorial Hospital, and Alvarado Hospital Medical Center, giving the practice inpatient access across multiple San Diego systems. The Navajo Road location sits in the 92119 ZIP roughly a mile south of Cowles Mountain, within the San Carlos commercial strip that serves the residential neighborhoods between Lake Murray and Grossmont Center. Conservative care pathways for patients who do not meet surgical thresholds include spinal manipulation through local providers such as San Diego Chiropractic in San Carlos, which manages cervical and lumbar adjustments as part of a multi-provider rehabilitation plan. Raiszadeh also founded a nonprofit spinal health foundation focused on posture education for children and expanding access to spine care in underserved populations.
