Spine Surgeon FAQs

A herniated disc is a condition, otherwise known as a slipped or ruptured disc, which involves the gelatinous core material of a disc to bulge out of position and creates painful pressure on the surrounding nerve roots.

There are a number of conditions that may result in needing spine surgery. Common spine injury procedures include:

• Spinal discectomy
• Laminectomy
• Laminotomy
• Foraminotomy
• Disc replacement
• Spinal fusion

Whatever the case may be, it is always best to consult with a skilled spine surgeon for diagnosis and treatment.
