Here's a photo of a 'Goldflame' spirea. It's an example of one of the smaller cultivars that respond well to severely hacking back to the ground every three to five years instead of trying to selectively prune out deadwood. I use gas hedge trimmers. The little "branches" are so thin that it takes all of a few seconds to whack them off. Sharp manual hedge trimmers work almost as well. Good luck.
