Procedure information
Back surgery, explained plainly.
We treat the most common causes of chronic back and spine pain using techniques matched to your diagnosis — from minimally invasive repairs to full reconstructive procedures.
Herniated disc repair
Removal or repair of disc material pressing on a nerve root, relieving leg and back pain caused by a bulging or ruptured disc.
Spinal fusion
Two or more vertebrae are joined into a single, stable structure to eliminate painful motion between damaged segments.
Laminectomy / decompression
Removal of part of the vertebral bone to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves, easing numbness, weakness, or pain.
Minimally invasive spine surgery
Small-incision techniques using specialized instruments and imaging — often meaning less tissue disruption and a faster recovery.
Scoliosis correction
Straightening and stabilizing an abnormal spinal curve using rods, screws, and fusion to restore alignment and function.
Artificial disc replacement
A damaged disc is replaced with a mobile implant that preserves natural motion, often as an alternative to fusion.
