Spinal Surgery

Our expert spinal surgeons are dedicated to providing advanced, patient-centered care, using the latest surgical techniques and technology to help you regain mobility, comfort, and confidence.

Understanding Spinal Surgery

Spinal surgery is a specialized medical procedure aimed at correcting structural abnormalities in the spine, alleviating chronic pain, and improving overall function. Whether due to degenerative conditions, injuries, or congenital spinal disorders, surgical intervention may be necessary when non-surgical treatments no longer provide relief.

Common Conditions That Require Spinal Surgery

• Herniated Disc – When the soft cushion between spinal vertebrae bulges out, pressing on nearby nerves and causing pain.
• Spinal Stenosis – A narrowing of the spinal canal that puts pressure on the nerves, leading to pain and numbness.
• Scoliosis and Other Spinal Deformities – Abnormal curvature of the spine that can cause discomfort and mobility issues.
• Degenerative Disc Disease – A condition where spinal discs wear down over time, causing chronic pain.
• Spinal Fractures – Often caused by trauma or osteoporosis, leading to severe pain and instability.
• Sciatica and Nerve Compression – Conditions where nerves in the lower back become compressed, resulting in shooting pain down the legs.

Types of Spinal Surgery at Synovia Health

Our experienced team offers a wide range of spinal surgeries, tailored to your specific needs:

1. Minimally Invasive Spinal Surgery (MISS)

For many spinal conditions, minimally invasive techniques are used to reduce trauma, minimize scarring, and accelerate recovery. This includes:

• Microdiscectomy – Removal of a small portion of a herniated disc to relieve nerve pressure.
• Laminectomy – Removal of a section of bone to ease nerve compression in spinal stenosis cases.
• Spinal Fusion – Stabilizing the spine by fusing two or more vertebrae together, often for degenerative disc disease.
• Kyphoplasty & Vertebroplasty – Procedures used to treat spinal fractures by injecting special bone cement into the affected area.

2. Traditional Open Spinal Surgery

For more complex spinal conditions, traditional surgery may be necessary. These procedures include:

• Complex Spinal Reconstruction – Correcting severe spinal deformities or injuries.
• Artificial Disc Replacement – Replacing damaged spinal discs with artificial implants to restore motion and function.
• Tumor Removal Surgery – Removing spinal tumors that may be compressing nerves or the spinal cord.

What to Expect During Recovery:

• Initial rest followed by gradual physical activity.
• Physical therapy to restore strength and flexibility.
