What Orthopedic Spine Surgery Involves

Orthopedic spine surgery addresses disorders affecting the bones, joints, discs, and supporting structures of the spine. These procedures may involve stabilizing the spine, correcting deformities, relieving pressure on nerves, or restoring proper alignment. Depending on the patient’s condition, surgery may include fusion techniques, disc replacement, decompression procedures, or minimally invasive approaches. Many orthopedic spine procedures can be performed using minimally invasive techniques, which reduce tissue disruption and support faster recovery. Whether the procedure is minimally invasive or traditional, the priority remains to restore stability, relieve symptoms, and improve overall spinal function.

Conditions Treated With Orthopedic Spine Surgery

Orthopedic spine surgery may be recommended for New Jersey patients who experience pain, mobility limitations, or structural abnormalities caused by conditions such as:

  • Herniated discs
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Scoliosis and spinal deformities
  • Spondylolisthesis
  • Spinal instability
  • Compression fractures
  • Chronic low back or neck pain
  • Severe arthritis of the spine

These conditions often require a combination of clinical evaluation, imaging, and physical assessment. A detailed consultation at our Montclair or Cherry Hill office helps determine the most effective treatment path.

Recovery After Orthopedic Spine Surgery

Recovery from orthopedic spine surgery varies based on the type of procedure and the underlying condition being treated. Many patients begin walking shortly after surgery and experience gradual improvement in symptoms over the following weeks. Minimally invasive techniques often support faster recovery with less postoperative discomfort.

New Jersey patients receive personalized postoperative instructions that cover mobility, activity restrictions, wound care, and rehabilitation. Follow up visits at our Montclair or Cherry Hill offices help ensure proper healing and ongoing progress. Physical therapy may be recommended to rebuild strength and support long term spinal stability.
