Overview of surgical and non-surgical treatments
Non-Surgical Procedures
Acupuncture
An alternative therapy using fine needles to stimulate specific points and reduce pain.
Chiropractic Care
Manual adjustments and manipulations to address spinal misalignments.
Corticosteroid Injections
Injections to reduce inflammation and pain in spine-related conditions.
Epidural Injections
Injection of medications around the spinal nerves to reduce pain and inflammation.
Facet Joint Injections
Injections to diagnose or treat pain originating from facet joints.
Nerve Blocks
Injections that block pain signals from specific nerves.
PRP Therapy
Platelet-rich plasma injections to promote healing in damaged tissues.
Radiofrequency Ablation
Using heat to reduce or stop nerve conduction for pain relief.
Stem Cell Therapy
Using stem cells to promote tissue regeneration and healing.
Trigger Point Injections
Injections targeting muscle knots or trigger points that cause pain.
Weight Loss & Back Pain
Lifestyle and medical strategies to reduce back pain through weight management.
Surgical Procedures
Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF)
Removes a damaged cervical disc and fuses adjacent vertebrae to alleviate neck pain and nerve compression.
Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (ALIF)
Accesses the spine anteriorly to remove a diseased disc and insert a fusion device, preserving back muscles.
Corpectomy
Removes a diseased vertebral body and replaces it with a graft or cage to decompress and stabilize the spine.
Disc Replacement
A surgical procedure that replaces a damaged spinal disc with an artificial one to maintain motion and relieve pain.
Extreme Lateral Interbody Fusion (XLIF)
A lateral approach to lumbar fusion that reduces muscle disruption and shortens recovery time.
Foraminotomy
Widens the nerve foramina to relieve radicular pain caused by bone spurs or disc herniation.
Laminectomy
Removes part of the vertebral lamina to relieve spinal nerve compression caused by stenosis or other conditions.
Laminotomy
Removes a small portion of the lamina to address localized nerve impingement and preserve stability.
Microdiscectomy
A minimally invasive procedure that relieves nerve pressure caused by herniated disc material.
Minimally Invasive Spine Fusion (MIS Fusion)
Fuses unstable spinal segments using small incisions, reducing recovery time and tissue damage.
Oblique Lumbar Interbody Fusion (OLIF)
Uses an oblique incision for lumbar fusion, minimizing posterior muscle trauma and restoring alignment.
Posterior Lumbar Fusion (PLIF, TLIF)
Fuses lumbar vertebrae from a posterior approach to stabilize the spine and reduce chronic back pain.
Revision Spinal Surgery
A corrective procedure for patients who have had unsuccessful or problematic spine surgeries in the past.
Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Fusion
Stabilizes the sacroiliac joint to relieve chronic low back pain from SI joint dysfunction.
Spinal Cord Stimulator (Permanent Implantation)
Implants a device that delivers electrical pulses to modulate pain signals for chronic pain relief.
Spinal Decompression for Stenosis
Expands the spinal canal by removing bone or tissue to relieve pressure on nerves and improve function.
Vertebroplasty
A minimally invasive procedure that stabilizes spinal fractures with cement injection.
