Trans foraminal Nerve Root Block

A Transforaminal Nerve Root Block is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat pain caused by nerve root irritation or inflammation in the spine. It involves injecting medication (usually a steroid and anesthetic) into the area around a specific nerve root as it exits the spinal canal through the neural foramen (the opening on the side of the vertebra).

Vertebroplasty / kyphoplasty Surgery

Both vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty are minimally invasive procedures used to treat vertebral compression fractures, especially those caused by osteoporosis, trauma, or tumors. They help stabilize the fractured vertebra, reduce pain, and restore spine height (more so with kyphoplasty).

Spinal Biopsy Surgery

Spinal biopsy surgery is a procedure to collect a small sample of bone, disc, or soft tissue from the spine for diagnostic purposes. It helps identify infections, tumors, or other abnormalities when imaging alone is inconclusive.

Lumbar Microdiscectomy

Lumbar Microdiscectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed to remove part or all of a herniated or damaged disc with the help of a microscope or loupe, in the lower spine (lumbar region) that's pressing on a nerve root — often causing leg pain (sciatica), numbness, or weakness. It’s one of the most common and effective spine surgeries with typically excellent outcomes when done for the right reasons.

Endoscopic Spine Surgery

Endoscopic Spine Surgery (ESS) is a minimally invasive technique that uses a tiny endoscope (camera) and specialized instruments inserted through a small incision to treat spinal problems — with minimal tissue disruption, faster recovery, and less pain compared to traditional spine surgery.

Fracture of Spine Surgery

Spinal fracture surgery is performed to stabilize the spine, relieve spinal cord or nerve pressure, and restore alignment after a fracture of the vertebrae. These fractures can range from minor compression fractures to severe burst fractures, and may or may not involve spinal cord injury.

TLIF / PLIF Surgery

TLIF (Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion) and PLIF (Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion) surgeries — both are spinal fusion techniques used to treat lower back (lumbar) spine disorders, especially when spinal instability or nerve compression is present.

cervical decompression Surgery

Cervical decompression surgery is a procedure designed to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or spinal nerves in the cervical spine (the neck). It’s commonly performed to treat conditions that cause nerve or spinal cord compression, such as herniated discs, bone spurs, stenosis, or spinal tumors.

Posterior Cervical Fusion Surgery

Posterior Cervical Fusion (PCF) Surgery is a procedure performed from the back of the neck (posterior approach) to stabilize and fuse two or more vertebrae in the cervical spine (neck). It's often used to treat spinal instability, deformity, or compression of nerves/spinal cord, especially when anterior surgery alone (like ACDF) isn't enough or appropriate.
