Spine Surgery
Minimally invasive and endoscopic treatment for spine conditions.
What Is Spine Surgery?
Spine surgery treats degenerative conditions, disc herniations, spinal stenosis, fractures, and complex spinal disorders affecting the cervical, thoracic, or lumbar spine. Florida Orthopedic & Spine Institute emphasizes minimally invasive and motion-preserving techniques.
Minimally invasive approaches use smaller incisions than traditional open spine surgery, which can mean less tissue disruption. Open surgery is reserved for cases that do not respond to other approaches.
Who Is a Candidate?
Spine surgery may be appropriate when conservative treatment has not relieved back or radiating leg pain caused by:
Disc herniation
Spinal stenosis
Degenerative disc disease
Spinal fracture or complex spinal disorders
Minimally invasive and motion-preserving techniques are designed to treat the spine while limiting disruption to surrounding tissue and, where appropriate, preserving spinal mobility.
Who It's For
Patients with back or radiating leg pain
Patients who have not found relief from conservative treatment
Patients with diagnosed disc or stenosis conditions
What to Expect
Consultation & Imaging:
A fellowship-trained spine surgeon reviews symptoms and spinal imaging to identify the source of pain.
Conservative Care First:
Non-surgical treatment is considered before surgery is recommended.
Surgery, If Needed:
Minimally invasive or endoscopic spine surgery is performed when appropriate.
Recovery:
Follow-up care and rehabilitation guidance tailored to the procedure performed.
