Conditions Treated with Spine Surgery

Spinal surgery addresses various conditions that cause pain and limited mobility. Common conditions treated include:

Lower Back Pain Surgery

Lower Back Pain Surgery

Lower back pain is among the most common reasons for seeking medical care. It can result from herniated discs, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, or vertebral fractures. When conservative treatments like physical therapy, medications, and injections fail to provide relief, surgery may be the best option. Procedures such as microdiscectomy, laminectomy, and spinal decompression surgery can alleviate pressure on nerves and restore function.

Sciatica Surgery

Sciatica Surgery

Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve is compressed, causing sharp pain, numbness, and weakness that radiates down the leg. Common causes include herniated discs, bone spurs, or spinal stenosis. If symptoms persist despite non-surgical treatments, lumbar discectomy or laminectomy can relieve nerve compression and significantly improve mobility and comfort.

Disc Replacement Surgery

Disc Replacement Surgery

Damaged or degenerated discs can cause chronic back pain, stiffness, and reduced flexibility. Instead of spinal fusion, which limits movement, artificial disc replacement (ADR) preserves spinal mobility while eliminating pain. This procedure is ideal for patients with disc degeneration or localized disc herniation who want to maintain a full range of motion.

Scoliosis Surgery

Scoliosis Surgery

Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine that can cause postural deformities, pain, breathing difficulties, and functional limitations. Severe cases may require spinal fusion with instrumentation to correct the curvature and stabilize the spine. Dr. Aldo employs cutting-edge surgical techniques to improve spinal alignment and prevent further progression.

Spinal Fusion Surgery

Spinal Fusion Surgery

Spinal fusion is a procedure that permanently joins two or more vertebrae to eliminate movement between them, providing stability and reducing pain. It is commonly performed for spinal fractures, degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, and severe arthritis. Advances in technology allow for minimally invasive fusion techniques that reduce recovery time and improve surgical outcomes.
