About The Provider
Daniel Manilla, PA-C, provides orthopedic spine surgery assistance in Lafayette, Colorado. His clinical interests include the diagnosis and management of lumbar and cervical radiculopathy, spinal stenosis, and other degenerative spine conditions, with a focus on restoring function and improving quality of life.
“Listen first, treat every patient with the same care you would give a family member, and empower them through clear education so they can make confident decisions about their health.”
Daniel particularly enjoys evaluating and managing patients with lumbar radiculopathy and spinal stenosis, as helping someone move from constant nerve pain and limited mobility back to functional daily living is especially rewarding. His goal is always to reduce pain, restore function, and ensure patients feel confident, informed, and supported throughout every step of their care.
Outside of work, Daniel enjoys staying active outdoors—especially hiking, snowboarding, hunting, and fishing. He also enjoys cooking, woodworking, and traveling.

Daniel Manilla was great. He took the time to really listen to my back issues and went beyond just how I was feeling that day—he considered my past and current sports, work ergonomics, and daily activities. He clearly explained what’s going on, gave me a solid treatment plan, and provided real peace of mind. I left feeling much more confident about my situation and path forward.
