Surgical Spine Treatments

After our team has thoroughly evaluated your condition and non-surgical options have failed, the physicians may recommend that you have surgery. The type of surgical procedure performed will depend on the exact nature of your spinal condition, and the physician will describe this procedure to you in detail during your appointment. For more details on many of the procedure we perform, please take a few moments to watch the videos by clicking on the links below.

Cervical Procedures

The cervical region consists of the top seven vertebrae nearest the skull. Joints in the cervical region allow the head to swivel and nod.

One of the most common cervical spine conditions is cervical radiculopathy, which is an irritation or compression of one or more nerve roots in the cervical spine. Because these nerves travel to the shoulders, arms and hands, an injury in the cervical spine can cause pain, weakness, numbness and tingling in these areas.

Lumbar Procedures

The thoracic region consists of 12 vertebrae that serve as attachment points for the ribcage. The lumbar region consists of five vertebrae in the lower back and is the main weight-bearing section of the spine.

One of the most common lumbar/thoracic spine conditions is lumbar radiculopathy (sciatica). This condition is an irritation or compression of one or more nerve roots in the lumbar spine causing pain, weakness, numbness and tingling in the hips, buttocks, legs or feet.
