Spinal Surgery

Spinal surgery focuses on the restoration and preservation of the spine structure and functions by treating all injuries and ailments via complex operative modalities. Unlike minimally invasive and non-surgical modalities, spinal surgery necessitates hospitalization as surgeons tend to operate on the injured area by cutting an opening in the body. Depending on the surgical procedure, the physician will cut, modify, or remove tissue and bone, thereby repairing the damaged area of the spine. However, Healthpointe always regards spinal surgery as a last-resort option.

Nevertheless, there are many reasons for patients to consider spinal surgery. In most cases, the neck and back pain can be easily treated with the utilization of non-surgical treatments, such as medications, physical therapy and injections, which overall leaves spinal surgery to be deemed unnecessary. However, if conventional, minimally invasive and non-surgical methods have failed to provide patients with significant and permanent relief, then spinal surgery will be considered.

The following list highlights some spinal symptoms that may necessitate surgery, especially if such conditions are persistent, painful or causing nerve compression:

1. Chronic neck/back Pain
2. Scoliosis & Neck and Spinal Vascular Deformities
3. Cervical and Lumbar Spinal Stenosis & Arthritis
4. Cervical and Lumbar Kyphosis
5. Cervical, Thoracic or Lumbar Spondylolisthesis
6. Adult Compression Spinal Trauma & Fracture
7. Tumors of the Spinal Column
8. Degenerative Disc Disease in the Spinal Column
9. Radiculopathy
