Radiofrequency Neurotomy of the Lumbar Facets
This procedure uses heat from radio waves to treat painful facet joints in your lower back. It eases pain that isn’t helped by medications or physical therapy.
Lumbar Interbody Fusion (IBF; LIF)
This surgery helps a painful lower spine. It treats a degenerated or damaged disc. The bad disc is removed and the vertebra bones above and below that disc are joined together. A fusion can reduce or eliminate your pain.
Lumbar Disc Microsurgery
This minimally-invasive procedure relieves pressure on nerve roots caused by a herniated disc. It can eliminate the pain of sciatica.
Kyphoplasty (Balloon Vertebroplasty)
This minimally-invasive procedure repairs a vertebral compression fracture. It helps restore the spine’s natural shape. Some patients experience rapid pain relief after the procedure.
Intraoperative Neurophysiologic Monitoring (IONM; IOM)
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.
Interlaminar Stabilization (coflex®)
This small implant gives your spine support. It’s placed in your spine as part of a surgical treatment for the pain of spinal stenosis. Unlike a spinal fusion, the implant preserves motion. So your spine can still move naturally.
Artificial Disc Replacement (in the Lumbar Spine)
This surgery treats a bad vertebral disc in your lower back. It replaces the bad disc with an artificial one. The new disc will let your spine bend and twist. For some, this surgery is an alternative to spinal fusion.
Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (Intervertebral Spacer)
This surgery removes a herniated or diseased disc and relieves neck and radiating arm pain caused by parts of the disc pressing on nerve roots.
ALIF: Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (with bone graft and pedicle screws)
ALIF 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.
