Spine Surgery

Minimally invasive spine surgery uses smaller incisions and specialized tools to relieve pressure on nerves or stabilize the spine with less tissue disruption. Patients typically benefit from reduced pain, shorter recovery times, and faster returns to daily activity compared to traditional surgical methods.

ACDF is a proven technique used to remove a damaged cervical disc from the front of the neck and stabilize the spine with a fusion. It’s often recommended for patients with pinched nerves or spinal cord compression causing neck pain, weakness, or numbness.

This procedure removes a herniated or damaged disc from the back of the neck and fuses the affected vertebrae to restore spinal stability. It is typically used for patients with multilevel disc disease, instability, or persistent nerve compression.

Lumbar fusion permanently connects two or more vertebrae in the lower back to eliminate painful motion and provide lasting stability. This surgery is commonly used to treat chronic lower back pain caused by degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, or spinal instability.

Cervical disc replacement offers an alternative to fusion by replacing a damaged cervical disc with an artificial one. The goal is to relieve nerve pressure while preserving natural motion and reducing the risk of problems in adjacent spinal segments.

ALIF is performed through the front of the body to remove a damaged lumbar disc and insert a supportive implant. This approach allows for better access to the spine, minimal disruption to back muscles, and strong stabilization of the lower spine.

TLIF is a spinal fusion procedure performed from the side of the spine to treat instability or disc degeneration. It helps reduce nerve compression, relieve pain, and restore structural alignment by placing bone grafts and implants between lumbar vertebrae.

MIS TLIF offers the same goals as traditional TLIF but with a smaller incision, less muscle disruption, and faster recovery. It’s ideal for patients with lower back pain caused by degenerative disc disease or spondylolisthesis seeking a minimally invasive solution.

This surgery involves removing a portion of bone from the back of the spine to decompress nerves, followed by fusion to stabilize the area. It is commonly used for spinal stenosis or instability that hasn’t improved with non-surgical care.

Lumbar disc replacement removes a damaged spinal disc and replaces it with an artificial one, allowing for pain relief without the need for spinal fusion. The procedure aims to preserve natural motion and prevent stress on surrounding spinal levels.

Endoscopic discectomy is a minimally invasive procedure to remove herniated disc material through a small incision using a camera-guided instrument. It’s an effective option for relieving nerve compression and lower back or leg pain with minimal downtime.

We offer both conservative and surgical solutions to relieve pain from a herniated disc, including physical therapy, injections, and minimally invasive surgery. The goal is to reduce pressure on spinal nerves and help you regain mobility and comfort.

A lumbar medial branch block is an outpatient injection used to diagnose or relieve facet joint pain in the lower back. The procedure targets the small nerves that carry pain signals and can provide immediate, though temporary, relief from chronic discomfort.

Vertebroplasty is a minimally invasive procedure used to stabilize spinal compression fractures caused by osteoporosis or trauma. By injecting medical-grade cement into the fractured vertebra, this technique relieves pain, restores spinal integrity, and helps patients return to daily activities with greater comfort and mobility.
