SPINAL SURGERY
Find the Right Treatment for You
Spinal surgery can address various conditions affecting the spine, providing relief from chronic back pain and improving mobility.
Discectomy
A discectomy is a type of surgery used to relieve pain caused by a damaged or herniated disc in the spine. Discs are soft cushions between the bones of your spine, and when one gets damaged, it can press on nearby nerves, causing pain, numbness, or weakness, often in the back or legs.
During a discectomy, the surgeon removes the damaged part of the disc to relieve the pressure on the nerves. This can help reduce pain and improve movement. It’s usually done through a small incision in the back, and some patients can go home the same day. Recovery typically involves rest, followed by physical therapy to regain strength.
