Back Surgery

Back Surgery

Back surgery is performed to treat various spine-related conditions that do not respond to non-surgical treatments like physical therapy, medication, or injections. It aims to relieve pain, restore function, and address structural issues in the spine.

Why Back Surgery is Done

Back surgery is typically recommended for:

Herniated Disc

When the cushioning disc between vertebrae presses on a nerve, causing pain, weakness, or numbness.

Spinal Stenosis

Narrowing of the spinal canal that compresses nerves, leading to pain, numbness, or difficulty walking.

Degenerative Disc Disease

Wear and tear of spinal discs causing chronic pain.

Spondylolisthesis

A vertebra slips out of place, causing instability and nerve compression.

Spinal Fractures

Often caused by trauma or osteoporosis, leading to pain or instability.

Scoliosis or Spinal Deformities

Abnormal curvatures of the spine causing pain or functional issues.

Tumors or Infections

Removal or stabilization of affected areas in the spine.
