Back and Neck Procedures
Injuries to your neck, back or spine can be very painful—and very frightening. But rest assured that the very best physicians are ready to perform the latest in surgical techniques, such as:
- Lumbar laminectomy to help alleviate pain from nerve impingement
- Spinal fusion to stop painful motion in the spine by fusing particular vertebrate sections
- Vertebroplasty, a minimally invasive procedure that cements fractured vertebra into position
- Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion to relieve pressure on damaged discs using bone grafts or other substitute materials.
Keep in mind, however, that not all back and neck pain requires surgery. Often, we can help you manage your pain with medications, specialized physical therapy or a combination of the two. It’s all about service excellence that’s right for you.
If you have questions, please call the Wellmont Nurse Connection at 1-877-230-NURSE.
