Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery
Minimally invasive spine surgery uses smaller incisions and specialized techniques to treat spine conditions while minimizing damage to surrounding tissue. This approach often results in less pain, reduced blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery compared to traditional open spine surgery.
Spinal Fusion
Spinal fusion is a surgical procedure that permanently joins two or more vertebrae to stabilize the spine. It is commonly used to treat conditions such as instability, degenerative disc disease, or spinal deformity and can help reduce pain caused by abnormal motion between vertebrae.
Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression surgery relieves pressure on spinal nerves or the spinal cord caused by conditions such as stenosis or disc herniation. By removing bone, disc material, or thickened tissue, decompression can help reduce pain, numbness, weakness, and improve mobility.
Artificial Disc Replacement
Artificial disc replacement is a motion-preserving spine surgery that replaces a damaged disc with an artificial one. Unlike spinal fusion, this procedure helps maintain natural movement in the spine while relieving nerve compression and reducing neck or back pain.
Robotic Spine Surgery
Robotic spine surgery uses advanced robotic technology to assist surgeons with precise planning and execution of spine procedures. This technology can improve accuracy, reduce surgical trauma, and support faster recovery while enhancing overall surgical outcomes.
Outpatient Spine Surgery
Outpatient spine surgery allows patients to undergo certain spine procedures and return home the same day. Advances in surgical techniques and anesthesia make outpatient spine surgery a safe and effective option for many patients, offering quicker recovery in the comfort of home.
Do I Need Back Surgery?
Back surgery may be recommended when conservative treatments such as physical therapy, medications, or injections no longer provide relief. A thorough evaluation helps determine whether surgery is appropriate based on symptoms, imaging findings, and impact on daily function.
Alternatives to Back Surgery
Many spine conditions can be treated without surgery through conservative options such as physical therapy, pain management, lifestyle modifications, or injections. Exploring non-surgical treatments is often the first step before considering spine surgery.
Laminoplasty
Laminoplasty is a motion-preserving spine surgery that relieves pressure on the spinal cord by creating more space within the spinal canal. Instead of removing bone, the surgeon reshapes and repositions part of the vertebra to reduce compression while maintaining stability and movement in the neck.
Microdiscectomy
Microdiscectomy is a minimally invasive spine procedure used to remove a small portion of a herniated disc that is pressing on a nerve. By relieving that pressure, it helps reduce leg or arm pain, numbness, and weakness—often with a faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
Epidural Steroid Injection
Epidural Steroid Injection is a non-surgical treatment that delivers anti-inflammatory medication directly around irritated spinal nerves. It is used to reduce pain, inflammation, and swelling caused by conditions like herniated discs or spinal stenosis, helping improve mobility and comfort.
