Spinal Fusion

Spinal fusion is a minimally invasive or traditional surgical procedure that eliminates movement between vertebrae to improve spinal stability and reduce pain.

• Bone graft or implant fusion – Joins vertebrae to create a solid structure. 

• Reduces motion-related pain – Stabilizes spinal segments that cause discomfort. 

• Effective for multiple spinal conditions – Commonly used for degenerative disc disease and spinal deformities. 
   

Spinal fusion is recommended for patients experiencing chronic back pain, instability, or deformity that has not improved with conservative treatments.

• Degenerative disc disease – disc wear causes vertebral instability. 

• Spinal fractures – Stabilizes broken vertebrae after trauma. 

• Scoliosis or spinal deformities – Helps correct curvature and misalignment. 

• Spondylolisthesis – Prevents vertebrae from slipping out of place. 

• Severe arthritis or spinal stenosis – Reduces pain from bone-on-bone friction. 
   

Spinal fusion has a high success rate for stabilizing the spine and relieving pain associated with movement.

• Long-term pain relief – Eliminates motion that causes chronic discomfort. 

• Improved spinal stability – Strengthens the affected spinal segment. 

• Minimally invasive approach available – Reduces recovery time in select cases. 

• Lasting results – Many patients experience lifelong relief after fusion. 
   

 

Spinal fusion can be performed using a minimally invasive or traditional open approach, depending on the severity of the condition.

• Small incision or open surgery – Depending on the technique used. 

• Bone graft or implant placement – Fuses the affected vertebrae. 

• Stabilization with rods or screws – Provides structural support. 

• Gradual bone healing – Fusion occurs over time for permanent stability.
