This week is National Advanced Practice Provider (APP) Week, and we're excited to recognize our Physicians' Assistants and Nurse Practitioners who contribute to the life-changing, compassionate care provided at Carolina NeuroSurgery & Spine Associates (CNSA).

For more than three decades, Michael Barnes has lived life in motion. He is a lifelong athlete, a personal trainer, and someone drawn to extreme physical challenges. That fearless lifestyle eventually caught up with him. His story stands as a reminder of resilience, discipline, and the power of expert and compassionate spine care.
