Types of Spine Surgery at Dignity Health Central California

The first step toward healing is to understand what is causing your back pain. Our orthopedic team will design a personal care plan that is best for you and your orthopedic condition. Aging, trauma, and injury, can lead to problems with your spine.

Your doctor may talk to you about how spine surgery can help treat these conditions:

• Tumors in your spine
• Spinal instability
• Back pain
• Neck pain
• Spinal discs that are degenerated, ruptured, or herniated
• Spinal nerve irritation that causes numbness or tingling in your legs or arms
• Osteoarthritis, which can cause your spinal canal to narrow
• Scoliosis, an abnormal curving of the spine
• Traumatic injuries and fractures of your spine

Your doctor will talk to you about the most effective type of spine surgery for your healing and well-being. The most common surgeries include disc replacement, laminectomy, herniated disc surgery, spinal fusion, and lumbar surgery.
