Spine Fusion is a specialized surgical procedure aimed at providing stability to the spine. It is a treatment option for individuals experiencing chronic back pain, spinal deformities, or instability due to various conditions such as degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, or fractures. Our Spine Fusion service is designed to alleviate pain, restore spinal alignment, and improve overall quality of life.
What Is Spine Fusion?
Spine Fusion is a type of surgery that involves joining two or more vertebrae in your spine, effectively eliminating the movement between them. This procedure is aimed at reducing pain and restoring stability to the spinal column by creating a single, solid bone. The fusion is typically achieved by using bone grafts, metal rods, screws, or cages to support and immobilize the affected spine segment until it heals and fuses together naturally over time.
The reasons for undergoing Spine Fusion may vary widely among patients. Common indications include degenerative disk disease, spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, scoliosis, or fractures caused by trauma or conditions like osteoporosis. In essence, if your spine is unable to maintain its proper shape and function due to disease, injury, or age-related wear and tear, Spine Fusion may offer a viable path to relief and recovery.
