SPINE

Posterior cervical decompression

Cervical total disc arthroplasty (TDA)

This procedure replaces a degenerative or damaged spinal disc with an implant designed to preserve motion in your neck. This procedure can relieve the pain of compressed nerves in the cervical spine.

Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF)

This surgery replaces a damaged vertebral disc in your neck with a cage containing bone graft. It's done to relieve painful pressure on spinal nerves.

Lumbar microdiscectomy

This minimally-invasive procedure relieves pressure on nerve roots caused by a herniated disc. It can eliminate the pain of sciatica.

Lumbar decompression with interspinous spacer

Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF)

TLIF is generally used to treat back or leg pain caused by degenerative disc disease. The surgeon will stabilize the spine by fusing vertebrae together with bone graft material.

Implantation of spinal cord stimulator

Spinal cord stimulation (also called SCS) uses electrical impulses to relieve chronic pain of the back, arms and legs. It is believed that electrical pulses prevent pain signals from being received by the brain. SCS candidates include people who suffer from neuropathic pain and for whom conservative treatments have failed.

This surgery creates more space around your spinal nerves. It gets rid of pressure and pinching. It can relieve pain, numbness and weakness linked to spinal nerve compression.

This is a way to monitor your nerves during surgery. It gives your surgical team real-time feedback. It helps keep your nerves safe during your procedure. Here's how it works.
