Back Surgery

Back surgery refers to various surgical procedures aimed at treating conditions affecting the spine, such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or degenerative disc disease. It is typically performed to alleviate chronic pain, restore mobility, and improve quality of life.

The surgery can involve different techniques, including discectomy, where the damaged disc is removed. Spinal fusion, which involves joining two or more vertebrae together to stabilize the spine, or laminectomy, which removes part of the vertebra to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves. Depending on the specific procedure, recovery can vary, but it often includes physical therapy and a gradual return to normal activities.
