This is a routine visit for patients who have already been seen by the healthcare provider. During this approximately 20-29 minute appointment, your health status will be evaluated and any necessary treatments or tests will be discussed. It's a chance to address any health concerns you may have.

This procedure involves placing a device on your back to stabilize 3-6 spine bone segments. It aids in maintaining spine alignment and reducing pain. The device is secured to the bones, providing support and promoting healing.

Exploration of spine fusion is a procedure to examine a previously performed spinal fusion surgery. The process checks the success of the fusion or finds potential issues, such as hardware failure or non-union of the fused vertebrae. It's a diagnostic tool to ensure healing.

The procedure involves the careful removal of a device from the back of your spine that was previously placed to provide stability. This is typically done under anesthesia and involves making a small incision to access and remove the device. The goal is to restore your spine's natural function while minimizing discomfort.
