• The spine serves as the backbone of our human
  structure giving the much-needed stability and
  with its bone casing made up of vertebrae,
  protects the spinal cord that serves a link
  between brain and nerves from other parts of the
  body. Any injury or problem, structural or
  functional to the spine must be addressed and
  treated by an orthopaedic spine specialist at the
  earliest.

When is spine surgery recommended by spine
specialist?

• Treatment to any spine issue starts with
  conservative non-surgical treatment methods which
  include, medications, physical therapy,
  injections and rehab. And only when these
  non-surgical treatment options run out in
  effectively treating the conditions surgical
  options come into contention. In case the
  condition is a correctable deformity where the
  physical exams, MRI, and imaging studies must
  match with the symptoms, the patient is in good
  health for surgery and the overall pros of
  surgery far outweigh the cons, then surgical
  methods may be recommended by the spine surgeon.

four common types of spine surgery

• Every year thousands of patients successfully
  undergo spine surgeries and here are the four
  common types of spine surgery that are performed
  by spine specialists in the UK
• 1. Laminectomy Bone spurs, bulging disc, bone
  overgrowths, and ligaments can narrow the spinal
  space putting pressure on the spinal cord and
  nerves which can manifest in the form of
  radiation back or leg pain. Laminectomy is
  decompression surgery where a thin bony plate
  that is located on the back of the vertebrae is
  removed to ease this pressure on the nerves or
  spinal cord caused by these elements in the back.

• 2. Discectomy  The discs in the back that act as
  a cushion between the vertebrae can rupture or
  slip putting pain on the nerves or spinal cord
  causing pain in legs, arms, chest, and buttocks
  with trouble in walking or sitting. Discectomy is
  another type of decompression surgery that is
  performed to remove the damaged portion to treat
  the pain caused by it.
• 3. Vertebroplasty Vertebroplasty is a spine
  surgery procedure that helps stabilize the spine
  and relieve the pain in cases of vertebrae
  fractures which can be caused by injury or
  osteoporosis. The spine surgeon inserts the
  cement between the vertebrae spaces to strengthen
  the vertebrae, relieve the pain and arrest the
  further collapse.

• 4. Spinal fusion  The procedure spinal fusion
  involves joining two bones using bone-like
  materials within the vertebrae spaces to permeant
  connect them and eliminate motion. Spinal
  fusion is a major and most common form of spine
  surgery that is performed by a spine surgeon to
  treat cases of spine instability and misalignment
  associated with spine conditions like scoliosis,
  degenerative disc diseases and spinal deformities.
