Artificial Disc Replacement
One goal of this procedure is to relieve the pain caused by pinched nerves or discogenic pain in the lumbar spine by replacing a diseased or damaged disc with specialized metal and polyethylene implants.
Lumbar Radiofrequency Neurotomy
This procedure is done to reduce or stop pain in the spinal facets. A slight electric current is used to cut the nerves serving the painful facet joints.
Caudal
Steroid Injection
Reduces swelling and inflammation caused by spinal conditions such as spinal
stenosis, radiculopathy, sciatica and herniated discs.
Sacroiliac
Joint Steroid Injection
Is performed to relieve pain caused by arthritis in the sacroiliac joint.
The steroid medication can reduce the swelling and inflammation.
Lumbar
Epidural Steroid Injection
Is performed to relieve low back and radiating leg pain. The medication
can reduce the swelling and inflammation caused by spinal conditions.
Spinal Cord Stimulator Implant
Spinal Cord Stimulation is used to relieve chronic back pain and sciatic pain. It uses electrical impulses to preven pain signals from being perceived by the brain.
IDET
This minimally invasive procedure is performed to alleviate the effects
of low back pain caused by diseased or small herniations of discs.
MED
Performed through a tubular device, this minimally invasive procedure can
relieve pain caused by herniated discs pressing on nerve roots.
Disc
Microsurgery
Is up to 95% to 98% effective in eliminating leg pain (sciatica) caused
by nerve root compression from a disc herniation.
Lumbar
Inter-body Fusion
Is a less invasive method to obtain spinal fusion, and is generally used
for the treatment of back pain caused by degenerative disc disease.
Anterior
Cervical Discectomy
Removes a herniated or diseased disc, and relieves neck and radiating arm
pain caused by parts of the disc pressing on nerve roots.
Spinal
Fusion
Corrects the spinal condition caused by spondylolisthesis.
Cervical
Laminaplasty
For patients with restricted spinal canals in their necks, this procedure
relives pressure by creating more space for the spinal cord and roots.
Lumbar
Laminectomy
Is performed through an incision on the back. The surgeon removes the bone
called the lamina. Therefore, this operation is called a laminectomy.
Kyphoplasty
This minimally invasive treatment for spine fractures caused by Osteoporosis
can provide back pain relief and help straighten the spine.
Anterior
Cervical Corpectomy
Removes damaged or diseased vertebral bone and surrounding discs, and relieves
caused by pressure on the spinal cord and spinal nerves.
Lumbar
Corpectomy
Is performed to relieve the pain caused when diseased or damaged vertebrae
bone blocks and pinches the spinal cord.
