- FibromyalgiaHow do we increase oxygen delivery to the brain and other body organ systems? Well, clinical and imaging studies show that Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), done at precise oxygen concentrations and increased atmospheric pressure, improves oxygenation of all organ systems including the brain. In fact, used correctly, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) promotes omnipotent stem cell proliferation and angiogenesis, which leads to improved cerebral blood flow. This increased blood flow to the brain treats age-related cognitive and functional decline, post-concussion syndrome due to traumatic brain injury (TBI), post-stroke symptoms, fibromyalgia, chronic pain syndrome, depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

- Medical Weight LossIndividual hormone levels are tested and then corrected as needed naturally with BHRT to alleviate symptoms and reduce the risks of acquiring aging-associated diseases. BHRT has many benefits, including increased energy, weight loss, diminished difficulty of sleeping, and improved libido.
- Primary CareAnnette has 17 years of orthopedic experience. She worked at Kootenai Health on the orthopedic and neurosurgical floor as charge nurse as well as a hospital supervisor. She has worked in a general orthopedic practice as a DNP in a primary care role with a multidisciplinary team and provided community based care for musculo-skeletal diseases. Annette also worked with a board-certified hand and plastic surgeon fort three years and joined Dr. Larson’s team in April 2019. She is excited to provide high quality care for disorders of the spine and works in close collaboration with Dr. Larson and his team. In addition to this she is also adjunct faculty and a lecturer at Gonzaga University since 2012 for family nurse practitioners.
- Family PracticeAnnette received her undergraduate degree in nursing from Lewis Clark State College in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, where she served as the nursing representative to the College’s associated students. She earned her masters degree in nursing with the focus on family practice from Gonzaga University in Washington. She is a Jonas scholar and pursued her doctoral nursing degree from Frontier Nursing University, Kentucky. She graduated summa cum laude in 2013. Her capstone project focused on identifying and developing curricula for primary healthcare providers focusing on primary care of musculoskeletal diseases.

- Labor and DeliveryThe woman’s body goes through a serious transformation during childbirth. Some changes which occur after childbirth can be unexpected to a new mother, and may leave her missing her old body. Symptoms can include decreased estrogen levels, bleeding, constipation, stretch marks, hair loss and stubborn belly fat.
- Internal MedicineHolly Moore, NP-C was born and raised in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. After graduating as a registered nurse in 2004 she obtained a Bachelors of Science in nursing from Lewis Clark State College. She attended Indiana State University for graduate school where she obtained a Masters of Science in Nursing as a Family Nurse Practitioner in 2009. She worked in primary care and internal medicine before joining CDA Spine and Brain in 2012. Holly specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of a multitude of cervical and lumbar spine issues. She has a keen understanding of the nonoperative and operative methods available to treat disorders of the spine. She works closely with Dr. Larson in treating patients of Coeur d’Alene Spine and Brain. In addition to working within the specialty of neurosurgery, she enjoys running, the outdoors, and spending time with her husband and 3 children. Holly has an amazing understanding of spine anatomy as it may relate you your condition. Be confident that an evaluation by Holly will be thorough, accurate, and likely the start of your pathway to treatment.
- Interstitial CystitisFemiWave can also aid in reducing dyspareunia or pain, as well as increasing pain-threshold in patients with chronic conditions that often diminish the overall quality of sexual life. These inflammatory response conditions can include Vulvodynia, Vestibulodynia, Interstitial Cystitis, and Pelvic Pain Syndrome.

- MRICDA Spine is a comprehensive treatment center for vertebral compression fractures (VCF). CDA Spine clinicians start with appropriate evaluation including assessment of your bone health, imaging of the fracture including non-claustrophobic MRI, spinal alignment x-rays, and bone density studies. Treatment may include nonoperative techniques, Vertebral Body Augmentation (VBA) or Kyphoplasty to treat the fracture, or in some cases surgery to stabilize the fracture. Kyphoplasty is now performed outpatient in the comfortable setting of the CDA Spine procedure room.
- X-Rays
- Computed TomographyMany variables are considered to determine your treatment options, including your medical history and general health, clinical examination findings, and diagnostic imaging, which may include computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and/or positron emission tomography (PET) scans.
- ChemotherapyIcon may benefit patients with lesions that are hard to reach or in a functionally critical area of the brain. Patients who are not candidates for other treatment approaches due to age or medical condition may be candidates for treatment with Icon. Icon may be prescribed in conjunction with surgery, other forms of radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy.
- Radiation TherapyDuring an Icon procedure up to 192 tiny beams of radiation are focused on a single tumor or other targeted area. The beams’ approach can be shaped to best conform to the target. Treatment with Icon differs from conventional brain radiation therapy as it is programmed very precisely to deliver radiation at a finely focused point, where all of the beams converge to treat diseased tissue while sparing healthy surrounding tissue.The accuracy of the treatment is unsurpassed.
- Minimally Invasive SurgeryMinimally invasive surgery combines Dr. Larson’s understanding of anatomy with x-ray imaging to treat spine conditions using small incisions. A minimally invasive technique permits Dr. Larson to separate the muscles surrounding the
- NeurosurgeryI allocate my time across four primary activities, which reflect my professional passions. First, the practice of general Neurosurgery including brain and spine surgery. I have developed specialized minimally invasive outpatient spine surgical procedures for over twenty years now – from simple microsurgical decompressions to artificial disc replacement surgery and more rigorous multilevel cervical and lumbar reconstructions and fusions. These efforts, combined with a superb, dedicated and like-minded staff have allowed CDA Spine and Brain to operate a world class outpatient Neurosurgery Clinic and ambulatory surgery center, coinciding with and responding to the imperatives of not only a rapid demographic growth in northern Idaho, but also a more mobile regional, national and global community willing to travel for their health care.
- Robotic SurgeryDr. Larson is involved in research and development, and he teaches image guided surgery, robotic surgery and minimally invasive spine surgery techniques. He also holds patents in minimally invasive spine technologies.
- Gynecomastia
- LesionsA Gamma Knife procedure treats brain lesions with enough radiation to control them, so that they disappear, shrink or stop growing. It can be used to treat targets even in the most critical, difficult-to-access areas of the brain without delivering significant radiation doses to healthy normal brain tissue. Referred to as “surgery without a scalpel,” the Gamma Knife procedure does not require the surgeon to make an incision in the scalp, nor an opening in the skull.
- Sports MedicineDr. Larson uses a unique specialized LED bed, the LightStim Bed, that is FDA Cleared to relieve arthritic pain, a variety of minor aches and pains, relax muscles, and increase local blood circulation. You can use it for post-workout soreness, accidents and sports injuries, backaches, arthritis and stiffness. Dr. Larson encourages select patients to use this specialized bed for pre-surgical preparation and for post-surgical recovery.
- Physical TherapyDr. Larson performs a single level cervical disc arthroplasty on a patient with a disc herniation and radiculopathy. Artificial disc replacement is a procedure used to treat damaged discs due to a herniated disc, spondylosis, or radiculopathy to relieve pinched nerves causing pain that has been unrelieved by conservative measures. Unlike cervical spine fusion, which affects the motion of your neck, you will generally have full range of motion once you complete your physical therapy. Artificial disc replacement surgery has been found to be as effective as fusion surgery in alleviating pain and returning patients to normal function. Here he uses the Prodisc-C. See other disc options.
