Advanced Spine Surgery Procedures Available
Modern spine surgery has evolved significantly. Many procedures now involve smaller incisions, reduced pain, shorter recovery periods, and improved outcomes. Our goal is to help you regain function and comfort.
At OIB Ortho, we perform several advanced spine surgeries, including minimally invasive methods:
- Scoliosis Correction:Â This surgery straightens abnormal curves in your spine. It treats conditions like adolescent and adult scoliosis, significantly reducing back pain and improving posture.
- Sacroiliac Joint Fusion:Â We stabilize the sacroiliac joint to relieve chronic lower back and hip pain. This procedure often helps patients experiencing arthritis or injury in the lower spine.
- Revision Spine Surgery:Â If you've had spine surgery that didn't provide relief, revision surgery can correct previous procedures. It commonly addresses issues such as recurring herniated discs or spinal instability.
- Minimally Invasive Spinal Fusion:Â This procedure stabilizes the spine through very small incisions. It effectively treats spinal instability, degenerative disc disease, and spondylolisthesis.
- Minimally Invasive Laminectomy:Â By removing small sections of bone, we relieve pressure on pinched nerves or the spinal cord. Patients experiencing spinal stenosis often find lasting relief from pain and numbness.
- Minimally Invasive Discectomy:Â We carefully remove portions of herniated discs causing nerve pain or limited mobility. This procedure provides significant relief from symptoms like sciatica or severe back pain.
- Cervical Artificial Disc Replacement:Â Damaged cervical discs are replaced with artificial implants to preserve your neck's natural movement. This is used to treat cervical disc herniation and chronic neck pain.
- Kyphoplasty:Â This minimally invasive procedure repairs spinal fractures, restoring spinal alignment and relieving pain immediately. It frequently treats fractures caused by osteoporosis or traumatic injury.
- Anterior Cervical Discectomy & Fusion:Â By removing damaged cervical discs, we relieve pressure on nerves and stabilize your spine. Patients commonly experience relief from persistent neck and arm pain caused by degenerative disc disease.
Our minimally invasive techniques result in shorter hospital stays, reduced pain, and quicker returns to your favorite activities.
