Located conveniently in Amritsar, our hospital offers cutting-edge medical technology and the latest techniques in spinal fusion, ensuring our patients receive the best possible care.

Understanding Spinal Fusion Surgery

Spinal fusion is a significant orthopedic procedure often used in cases of severe spinal instability or deformity. It involves the permanent joining or “fusing” of two or more vertebrae in the spine, which helps to alleviate pain and restore function. This surgical procedure can treat several spinal conditions, including degenerative disc disease, scoliosis, fractures, or herniated discs.

The procedure is typically recommended when other conservative treatments such as medications, physical therapy, or injections have failed to alleviate symptoms. At Livasa Amritsar, our neuro surgeons utilize state-of-the-art technology and a patient-centered approach to ensure the most successful outcomes.

Common Causes and Symptoms Requiring Spinal Fusion

There are several conditions that may necessitate a spinal fusion surgery:

• Degenerative disc disease: As discs naturally wear out due to aging or other factors, they can become painful or unstable.
• Spinal stenosis: This is the narrowing of the spinal canal that can lead to nerve compression, resulting in pain and mobility issues.
• Scoliosis: A sideways curvature of the spine that can cause uneven shoulders or hips and necessitate surgical intervention if severe.
• Herniated disc: When a disc protrudes out of position, it can irritate nearby nerves, leading to pain and discomfort.
• Trauma or fracture: The spine can be significantly affected by fractures or traumatic events necessitating alignment restoration and stability.

Symptoms indicating the need for a spinal fusion typically include persistent pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness that affects daily life and doesn't respond to non-surgical treatments.
