Every treatment plan begins with a thorough evaluation and an accurate diagnosis. Our team recommends the least invasive option that is most likely to provide lasting relief.
Depending on your condition, treatment may include:
When surgery offers the best opportunity for long-term improvement, our fellowship-trained spine surgeons utilize advanced techniques designed to reduce recovery time while restoring stability and function.
Surgical options may include:
CSMO’s experienced spine care team specializes in the most advanced surgical treatment options, with an emphasis on decompression, motion preservation and fusion procedures. Many can be performed at our state-of-the-art surgery center.
Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) is a surgical procedure in which a herniated or degenerative vertebral disc in your neck is removed and replaced with a bone graft, relieving painful pressure on spinal nerves and restoring quality of life.
Artificial Cervical Disc Replacement replaces a degenerative or damaged spinal disc with an artificial disc implant to relieve the pain of compressed nerves in the cervical spine. Unlike a rigid neck fusion, the implant is designed to preserve range of motion, allowing you to move your neck more freely.
Artificial Disc Replacement in the Lumbar Spine replaces a damaged or deteriorated vertebral disc in the lower back with an artificial disc. This procedure allows your spine to bend and twist and may be an alternative to spinal fusion.
Cervical Laminaplasty creates more space for the spinal cord and nerve roots to relieve the pain of spinal stenosis, a narrowing of spinal canal that can result from arthritis. In this procedure, the surgeon scores and cuts through the lamina, the bony protrusions covering the spine, to relieve pressure in the spinal column.
Laminectomy is another way to relieve the pain of spinal stenosis, which can also result from bony growths in the spinal column. In this procedure, the lamina of one or more vertebrae is removed, not scored and cut to create a hinge as with cervical laminaplasty.
Lumbar disc microsurgery is a minimally invasive procedure to relieve pressure on nerve roots caused by herniated disc. This procedure can also be used to eliminate the pain of sciatica.
Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion is generally used to treat back or leg pain, as well as degenerative disc disease. Since most TLIF procedures access the the disc through only one side of the spine, recovery time after the procedure will be shorter than with traditional fusion surgery.
