Our Procedures
Comprehensive surgical solutions for spinal and neurological conditions
Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery
Advanced techniques that allow treatment of spinal conditions through smaller incisions, preserving muscle and tissue where the approach is appropriate.
Potential Benefits:
Commonly Used For:
Artificial Disc Replacement
A motion-preserving alternative to spinal fusion that replaces damaged cervical or lumbar discs with artificial implants, maintaining natural spine movement.
Potential Benefits:
Commonly Used For:
Spinal Decompression Surgery
Procedures designed to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots by removing bone, disc material, or other tissues causing compression.
Potential Benefits:
Commonly Used For:
Spinal Fusion
A procedure that permanently joins two or more vertebrae to eliminate motion between them, providing stability and pain relief for various spinal conditions.
Potential Benefits:
Commonly Used For:
Microdiscectomy
A minimally invasive procedure to remove herniated disc material pressing on nerve roots, to relieve pressure on an affected nerve when a herniated disc is the cause of symptoms.
Potential Benefits:
Commonly Used For:
Laminectomy/Laminotomy
Removal of part or all of the lamina (back part of vertebra) to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves, creating more space in the spinal canal.
Potential Benefits:
Commonly Used For:
Foraminotomy
Enlargement of the neural foramen (opening where nerve roots exit the spine) to relieve nerve compression and reduce radiating pain.
Potential Benefits:
Commonly Used For:
Cervical Spine Surgery
Specialized procedures for the neck region, including anterior and posterior approaches for disc replacement, fusion, and decompression.
Potential Benefits:
Commonly Used For:
