What Is Spine Surgery?
Spine surgery involves specialized procedures that treat conditions that affect the vertebrae, spinal discs, nerves, or supporting tissues of the back and neck. When non-surgical treatments such as physical therapy, medications, or injections don’t provide enough relief, spinal surgery may be the best option to restore movement, reduce pain, and improve daily function.
Spine Surgery Benefits
- Long-term relief from chronic back and neck pain
- Improved mobility and range of motion
- Enhanced spinal stability and alignment
- Faster recovery with minimally invasive techniques
- Better overall quality of life and daily function
Spine Treatment Options
Our orthopedic spine specialists perform advanced procedures that are designed to relieve pain, restore motion, and improve quality of life. Most common spinal surgeries include:
- Cervical Disc Replacement and Fusion: This form of cervical spine surgery removes a damaged disc in the neck and stabilizes the area to relieve nerve compression and improve movement.
- Lumbar Fusion Surgery: A proven spinal fusion surgery that connects vertebrae in the lower back to treat chronic pain and instability.
- Laminectomy: A precise spinal decompression surgery that removes bone or tissue pressing on nerves to reduce pain and stiffness.
- Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery: Using small incisions and advanced imaging, this advanced spine surgery offers faster recovery and less postoperative pain.
- Kyphoplasty: A specialized spine stabilization surgery that restores height and strength to vertebrae weakened by fractures or osteoporosis.
We also offer regenerative treatments like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell therapy to support healing and enhance your spine surgery recovery.
