Common Procedures at NJ Spine & Orthopedic

At NJ Spine & Orthopedic, there is a wide variety of both surgical and non-surgical treatment options to help treat your neck, back, or spine pain. We pride ourselves on being able to offer our patients the help they need. While many people automatically assume that any serious issue with the back or spine will mean an open surgery awaits them, that is not always the case at NJ Spine & Orthopedic. In fact, our doctors are always willing to explore all non-surgical treatment options before anything surgical if that is what is best for your needs. The following are some of the more common procedures offered at NJ Spine & Orthopedic.

• Microdiscectomy: With the goal of relieving any pressure on the spinal nerve column, this surgical technique will remove a portion of a herniated disk.
• Laser Spine Surgery: Often used to treat herniated or ruptured disks to reduce pain, this procedure involves using a focused beam of light to remove soft tissue through a small incision.
• Laminoforaminotomy: This minimally invasive surgical technique is used to relieve pressure on your nerve roots and spinal cord. This is an excellent procedure if you suffer from cervical radiculopathy, a type of neck pain that spreads into the upper back, shoulders, and down the arms.
• Endoscopic Foraminotomy: This procedure can relieve pressure from the spinal nerve roots caused by the compression of bone spurs, disk herniations, scar tissue, or excessive ligaments.
• Endoscopic Discectomy: A minimally invasive surgical technique removes herniated disc material, causing pain in the lower back, legs, neck, or arms. This procedure helps treat spinal disk herniation.
• Coccygectomy: Known to provide great pain relief for patients suffering from discomfort due to an injury, congenital disability, or tumor, this procedure involves removing part or all of the coccyx, commonly known as the tailbone.
• Artificial Disk Replacement: If you suffer from a worn or degenerated disk in the lower part of your spine, our surgeons will replace it with an artificial disk made of metal or plastic. This procedure provides our patients with an alternative treatment method to spinal fusion surgery.
