Spondylosis is a degenerative spine condition that can cause chronic pain and poor mobility. For some, conservative treatments like physical therapy, medication, or injections provide relief. However, when these options aren’t working, spine surgery may be the best solution.
Our board-certified orthopaedic surgeons at Orthopaedic Institute Brielle Orthopaedics (OIB Ortho) specialize in surgical techniques to give you lasting relief. We offer expert spine care across New Jersey, with locations in Edison, Red Bank, Freehold, Wall, Brick, Toms River, Lacey, and Manahawkin.
Surgery for spondylosis is considered when pain affects daily activities and non-surgical treatments no longer help. It may be needed for chronic pain, nerve compression, mobility issues, or spinal instability.
The type of surgery recommended depends on how severe the condition is and the specific structures affected. Some of the most common procedures include:
A laminectomy removes a section of the vertebra, known as the lamina, to reduce pressure on the spinal cord or nerves. It is commonly performed to relieve nerve compression that causes pain or functional issues in the arms or legs.
A discectomy removes a damaged or herniated disc that is pressing on a nerve. This surgery can relieve nerve pain, tingling, or weakness caused by disc degeneration. It may be performed as a traditional open surgery or using minimally invasive techniques.
Spinal fusion stabilizes the spine by permanently connecting two or more vertebrae. This reduces painful movement between the bones and is often used when spondylosis leads to instability or severe degeneration.
Instead of fusing the spine, this procedure replaces a damaged disc with a synthetic one to maintain mobility. This option can help reduce pain while preserving movement in the spine.
Many spine surgeries can now be performed using minimally invasive techniques, which require smaller incisions and result in shorter recovery times. MISS procedures can be an option for some patients depending on their specific condition.
If spondylosis is limiting your mobility or daily activities, the spine specialists at OIB Ortho offer advanced surgical options for complex spinal conditions.
