Herniated disc
The disc is a soft, spongy-like material that both cushions and supports the bones of the spinal column, called vertebrae. At times, the disc can herniate or protrude out of its normal lining. When this happens, the disc can pinch upon a nerve or upon the spinal cord itself, and cause a variety of symptoms. |

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. |
