What is Spine Surgery?
Spine surgery is a medical procedure performed to treat conditions affecting the spine. The spine is a complex structure of bones (vertebrae), discs, and nerves that supports the body and protects the spinal cord. When these structures become damaged or diseased, they can cause pain, numbness, weakness, and other symptoms. Spine surgery aims to correct these problems and alleviate symptoms. Spine surgery is a significant medical decision with potential benefits and risks. It's crucial to have realistic expectations and understand the recovery process.
