When is Spine Surgery Needed?

Common Spinal Conditions

Your doctor may recommend spine surgery if you have a condition that did not respond to other treatments, such as medications or physical therapy. Common conditions requiring spine surgery include:

Disc Herniations

Disc Herniations are when the soft interior of a spinal disc has pushed through its casing, causing pain and other symptoms.
Spinal Stenosis

Spinal stenosis is when the spaces within the spine begin to narrow due to wear and tear on the spine over time, which can cause pain and numbness.
Degenerative Disc Disease

Degenerative Disc Disease occurs when discs lose their shock-absorbing ability, which can cause pain and stiffness.
Spondylolisthesis

Spondylolisthesis is when a vertebra slips out of alignment, which can cause pain, numbness, and weakness.
Vertebral Fractures

Vertebral fractures can occur due to trauma, such as from a fall or car accident, and can cause extreme pain.
Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis of the spine occurs when the cartilage between vertebrae wears away, causing stiffness and pain.
Sciatica

Sciatica occurs when a nerve is compressed, causing pain to radiate down the back of the leg.
