HEALTH,INSIGHTS

Spinal fusion is a surgical procedure that involves fusing together two or more vertebrae in the spine to stabilize the spine and alleviate pain.

Spinal fusion is a surgical procedure that involves fusing together two or more vertebrae in the spine to stabilize the spine and alleviate pain. The procedure is typically performed to treat conditions such as spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, or degenerative disc disease.

The spinal fusion procedure typically involves making an incision in the back and removing the damaged or diseased vertebral disc. The vertebrae are then positioned so that they are in proper alignment, and bone graft material is placed between the vertebrae. Metal screws, rods, or cages may be used to secure the vertebrae in place and promote healing.

After the procedure, patients will need to follow a specific postoperative care plan, which may include rest, physical therapy, and pain management. Most individuals are able to return to normal activities within several weeks, although full recovery may take several months. Physical therapy may be necessary to help improve range of motion and strength in the affected area.

Overall, spinal fusion can be an effective way to alleviate pain and stabilize the spine in individuals with conditions affecting the spine. If you are experiencing pain or discomfort in your back, it is important to speak with a qualified healthcare provider to determine if spinal fusion may be a good option for you.
