Michigan Spine Specialists are trained to perform a variety of procedures to help alleviate pain and treat these conditions. Some of the most common procedures that we perform include:

• Spinal fusion:
  • Fusing vertebrae together to stabilize the spine and reduce any pain.
• Discectomy:
  • Removing a portion of a herniated disc to reduce any pressure on the spinal cord or nerves.
• Laminectomy:
  • Removing part of the vertebral bone to relieve any pressure that may be on the spinal cord or nerves.
• Foraminotomy:
  • Removing bone or tissue to widen the space around the nerve roots as they exit the spinal cord.
• Artificial disc replacement:
  • Replacing a damaged or degenerated disc in the spine using an artificial one.
• Kyphoplasty:
  • Injecting a cement-like material into a fractured vertebra to brace it and relieve pain.
