Spine Surgery treats conditions that affect the spinal column, nerves, and discs when other treatments no longer bring relief. Doctors often recommend it for herniated discs, spinal stenosis, scoliosis, degenerative disc disease, fractures, or chronic neck and back pain.
Common procedures include discectomy, laminectomy, spinal fusion, and artificial disc replacement. Many surgeons now use minimally invasive techniques, which shorten recovery, reduce pain, and require smaller cuts.
The goals of Spine Surgery are to ease pressure on nerves or the spinal cord, stabilize the spine, and restore movement. Recovery varies by procedure and usually involves therapy to rebuild strength. For many patients, results include less pain, better mobility, and an improved quality of life.
