Lumbar Spinal Surgery

Understanding Lumbar Spinal Fusion Surgery

At Big Apple Spine & Orthopedics, Dr. Arutyunyan specializes in lumbar spinal fusion surgery, a procedure aimed at alleviating pain and disability caused by conditions like lumbar degenerative disc disease or spondylolisthesis. Lumbar fusion involves permanently connecting two or more vertebrae to stabilize the spine and relieve symptoms.

Personalized Approach to Treatment

Dr. Arutyunyan emphasizes shared decision-making in determining whether lumbar spinal fusion surgery is the right option for each patient. Before recommending surgery, various factors are considered, including the effectiveness of non-surgical treatments like physical therapy and medications. Additionally, the specific surgical technique employed depends on the patient’s unique case.

Goals of Lumbar Spinal Fusion Surgery

The primary goals of lumbar spinal fusion surgery include eliminating neurological issues, relieving chronic pain and numbness, restoring healthy nerve function, and preventing abnormal spine motion. By realigning the spine and improving posture, this procedure aims to enhance overall spinal health and quality of life.
