An X-ray of the upper spine, with 2-3 views, is a painless procedure that employs a small amount of radiation to capture images of your neck and upper back. It assists in diagnosing conditions like arthritis, fractures, or spinal deformities.

This procedure involves removing part of a spine bone to alleviate pressure on the lower spinal cord and/or nerves. It targets a single segment of the spine, improving mobility and reducing pain. It's a common treatment for conditions like herniated discs or spinal stenosis.

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.

This is a first-time office or outpatient visit lasting between 45-59 minutes. The healthcare provider evaluates your health, discusses your medical history, and may suggest further tests or treatments. It's an opportunity to ask questions and understand your health better.

This is a surgical procedure where the upper spine bones are joined together after removing a disc. This helps to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves. If more discs need to be removed, the same process is repeated for each additional disc.

Fusion of the spine in the lower back, also known as lumbar spinal fusion, is a surgery aimed to join, or fuse, two or more vertebrae in your lower back. This procedure can help alleviate pain and improve stability by reducing movement between the vertebrae.

An X-ray of the middle and lower spine, or 2-view lumbar spine X-ray, involves capturing images of your back. This helps detect issues like fractures, infections, or other abnormalities. It's painless and quick, taking only a few minutes.

An X-ray of the middle spine, or thoracic spine, involves capturing two different images of the area. This non-invasive procedure uses small amounts of radiation to visualize the bones and tissues in your back, helping to identify any abnormalities or injuries.
