Spine Surgery
Spine surgery is a procedure that is aimed at changing and improving a patient’s anatomy such as the removal of a herniated disc or compressed nerves in the spine causing pain to provide pain relief. These surgeries vary in the procedure and may require short or long recovery time depending on the patient’s condition and type of surgery.
