Treatments for back and neck pain
Depending on the type of pain you are experiencing, treatment options can vary.
If nonsurgical methods are unsuccessful at treating your condition, your doctor may recommend surgical treatment. Our surgeons perform the following spine surgeries:
- Cervical fusion: surgical joining of two or more vertebrae in the neck to stabilize the spine
- Disc replacement: replacement of the disc, or cushion, that exists between each vertebrae
- Discectomy:surgical treatment for a herniated disc where the damaged portion of the disc is removed
- Kyphoplasty: surgical treatment for fractures of the vertebrae
- Laminectomy: surgery that removes the back portion of a vertebra, called the lamina, which relieves pressure being put on the spinal canal
- Lumbar fusion:surgical joining of two or more vertebrae in the lower back to improve stability or correct an abnormality
Minimally invasive surgery options
We also offer advanced surgical options, including minimally invasive spine surgery.
Endoscopic spine surgery
Endoscopic back surgery, a type of minimally invasive spine surgery, does not require a large incision. Your surgeon will use an endoscope and specialized surgical instruments to view the surgical area and perform your procedure using precise movements.
Procedures that may be performed with this surgical technology include:
- Abnormality corrections, such as for scoliosis
- Decompression of spinal tumors
- Repair and stabilization of vertebral compression fractures
- Repair of herniated discs
- Spinal fusion, which is often performed to treat degenerative disc disease
Robotic spine surgery
Our surgeons use robotic technology to perform minimally invasive back surgery with extreme precision. Robotic spine surgery uses 3D, comprehensive surgical plans and analytics to provide information before the surgery even starts. Because of its minimally invasive nature, robotic surgery can reduce your postoperative pain and recovery time.
