Cervical (Neck) Discectomy & Fusion
Your spine is made up of vertebrae (bones) and discs. These discs act as cushions between each of the vertebrae to absorb shock and provide flexibility within the spine. Aging, illness or injury can cause these discs to herniate, bulge or rupture. This causes pressure on a nerve or the spinal cord. This procedure removes the damaged material and replaces it with a graft, joining the vertebrae.Cervical Disc Replacement
This procedure replaces worn or damaged discs with artificial discs. No bone graft is needed because the spine is not fused.Lumbar (Low Back) Fusion
This procedure joins (or fuses) vertebrae together to treat unstable or misaligned vertebrae in the lower back.Lumbar (Low Back) Microdiscectomy
Our surgeons use a special tool that provides them with a magnified view of discs and nerves. This enhanced view allows them to use a small incision in the removal of herniated disc material that's causing pressure on a nerve.
