Spinal surgery is a medical discipline that diagnoses and treats conditions affecting the spine. There are two types of spinal procedures: traditional and minimally invasive. The latter of the two techniques is commonly used in operating rooms today because it generally results in minimal blood loss, less pain, and less post-procedural down time. More often than not, most patients will see a pain management specialist to manage their symptoms before they undergo an extensive spinal procedure. Still, patients with chronic back pain or nerve damage may be considered candidates for spinal surgery to help reduce pain, restore function, and boost mobility.
