A herniated disc occurs when a portion of the vertebral disc ruptures. This ruptured portion may push on nerves in the cervical, thoracic or lumbar areas.
The spine has a normal curvature that allows weight to be supported in an upright posture. An exaggeration of this curvature is known as kyphosis, and the most serious type is scheuermann’s disease.
Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is a surgical procedure to treat nerve root or spinal cord compression by decompressing the spinal cord and nerve roots of the cervical spine in order to stabilize the corresponding vertebrae.
Sciatica is the irritation of the largest nerve in the body, the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve begins with several nerves in the lower back and travels down the legs.
Endoscopic Lumbar Fusion Surgery is a minimally invasive surgery indicated as last resort of treatment in conditions that cause spinal instability in lower back such as degenerative disc disease.
Our unique and personalized approach toward spinal conditions and disorders is as distinct as each one of our individual patients. We know that no two patients are the same, and no two situations are ever quite the same, either.
