Spinal Surgery
Spinal Surgery involves the diagnosis and treatment of spinal disorders and conditions when conservative treatment hasn’t resolved the issue. The purpose of spinal surgery is to provide pain relief, improve functionality and avoid permanent impairment.
Neurosurgeons
and
orthopaedic surgeons
who have further specialised can perform spinal surgery. Surgery is performed to take pressure off
compressed nerves
within the
spinal column
. Nerve compression is often caused by
herniated discs
or
spinal stenosis
, which can lead to numbness, tingling and muscle weakness. Surgery can stabilise an unstable spine from conditions such as
Spondylolisthesis
or
spinal fractures
that can lead to
back pain
(lumbar pain),
leg pain
and
pinched nerves
. Spinal surgery is also used to correct spinal deformities such as
scoliosis
and
kyphosis.
Other common conditions that can be treated with spinal surgery include
neck pain
(cervical pain),
sciatica
,
tumours
,
Infections
,
Degenerative disc disease
and
Lumbar degenerative conditions.
