Spinal instability
Spinal instability refers to the inability of the spinal column to support itself. There may be excessive motion, which contributes to a pinching of a nerve or narrowing of the area where the nerve runs. In general, the causes of this are quite varied. |

Laminectomies and spinal fusions
Spinal operations are performed to decompress neural structures to relieve pain and provide the opportunity for neurological recovery. At times, fusions are performed to stabilize spinal segments and improve neurologic function. These procedures can be peformed microscopically, endoscopically, or through standard, open approaches. |
