EDISCSCULPTSpine Surgery Basics
Spine surgery is used to treat conditions of the vertebrae, disc, or spinal cord that will not resolve with conservative treatment. It is commonly used to treat:
- Herniated discs
- Bulging discs
- Degenerative disc disease
- Scoliosis and kyphosis
- Spinal arthritis
- Bone spurs
- Spinal tumors
While rarer and more serious surgeries such as scoliosis correction and the removal of spinal tumors must be done by a specialist in a hospital, most routine spine conditions can now be treated in an outpatient setting using laser spine surgery and other minimally invasive procedures. This can improve outcomes for patients by reducing the recovery time and the risk of infection.
Look for the following qualities as you search for a spine surgeon:
- Has expertise in performing the surgery you are getting
- Has a strong grounding in pain management
- Is board-certified with a clean disciplinary record
- Is dedicated to ongoing education
- Uses modern, minimally invasive techniques when possible
- Has good bedside manner - treats your symptoms, questions, and concerns with respect
