Spine Surgery: Everything You Need to Know

Expert Care at Alpha Ortho

The spine is one of the most important structures in the human body. It supports posture, enables movement, and protects the spinal cord. Any spinal problem can affect daily activities and overall quality of life. At Alpha Ortho, we specialize in advanced spine care, offering both non-surgical and surgical solutions tailored to each patient’s condition.

What Is Spine Surgery?

Spine surgery is a medical procedure performed to treat disorders of the spinal column, spinal cord, or nerves. The primary aim is to relieve pain, restore mobility, improve nerve function, and enhance quality of life when conservative treatments are no longer effective.

Types of Spine Surgery

At Alpha Ortho, spine surgery is planned based on detailed evaluation, imaging, and patient needs.

1. Discectomy

Removal of a herniated or damaged disc that is compressing spinal nerves and causing pain.

2. Laminectomy

Removal of a portion of the vertebra to reduce pressure on the spinal cord or nerves, commonly used in spinal stenosis.

3. Spinal Fusion

Two or more vertebrae are joined together to provide spinal stability and reduce pain caused by abnormal movement.

4. Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

Advanced techniques using smaller incisions, resulting in less blood loss, reduced pain, faster recovery, and minimal scarring.

5. Artificial Disc Replacement

Replacement of a damaged disc with an artificial disc to preserve spinal movement.

When Is Spine Surgery Necessary?

Spine surgery is considered when:

• Pain persists despite medication and physiotherapy
• There is numbness, weakness, or difficulty walking
• Nerve compression affects daily life
