Cervical & Lumbar Fusions

Cervical and Lumbar Fusions are surgical procedures performed to relieve pain by removing a diseased or aggravated disc from the back or neck – then using a bone graft to create a new bone mass called a “Fusion.”

General anesthesia is typically used
Surgeon makes a small incision along the spine in the back or neck
The muscles and connective tissue are pulled back to reach the bone
Surgeon removes the aggravated disc from the spine
Bone graft material is put into place to create the fusion (small screws and/or rods may also be inserted to hold the bones in place)
