Procedures include:
Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF)
A surgical procedure performed to remove a herniated or degenerative disc in the cervical (neck) spine.
Posterior Cervical Fusion
The posterior cervical fusion is performed through an incision in the back of the neck; a posterior cervical fusion is used to stop the motion between two or more vertebrae to recreate the normal curve of the cervical spine and keep a spinal deformity from getting worse to stabilize the spine after a fracture or dislocation of the cervical spine.
Lumbar Laminectomies
A surgical procedure typically to treat leg pain related to herniated discs, spinal stenosis and other related conditions.
Minimally Invasive Microdiscectomies
A procedure for patients who have received conservative treatment but have continued pain; performed in less than one hour with an incision is about a half inch, patients are able to return to normal activities quicker.
Lumbar Fusions
A procedure to relieve pain, numbness, tingling and weakness, restore nerve function and stop or prevent abnormal motion in the spine; done by fusing the vertebrae together; the lumbar fusion can be done in the front or the back of the spine.
Spinal Cord Stimulators
Using low voltage stimulation of the spinal nerves, this blocks the pain; helps to better manage pain and potentially decrease the amount of pain medication; it also may be an option for long-term (chronic) leg or arm pain and have not found relief through traditional methods.
