Options You Deserve

There are a host of conditions that may require spinal surgery. Our goal is to provide our patients with the highest level of care, and our team is dedicated to assessing the individual needs of each patient.

A common spinal procedure, a laminectomy, may be required to remove part of the lamina – the back part of a vertebra that covers your spinal canal due to bony growths, tumors, or other conditions that narrow the spinal canal.

In more severe cases, a discectomy is performed in which a portion of the disc is removed to relieve nerve pressure to treat disc herniation.

For other patients, a spinal fusion could be required due to instability of the spine caused by injury or severe arthritis. Spinal fusion procedures require two or more vertebrae to be fused together using bone graft material, plates and screws to relieve pain and stabilize the spine.

While these surgeries may be common, your needs, treatment, and care plan are tailored to you.
