SPINAL FUSION

Spinal fusion is a surgical treatment that is used to treat abnormalities with the spine's tiny bones (vertebrae). It's basically a "welding" procedure. The primary concept is to fuse two or more vertebrae together to form a single, solid bone. This is done to either eliminate uncomfortable motion or restore spine stability.

Only when your doctor is able to establish the source of your pain will he or she offer spine surgery. Imaging tests like as x-rays, computed tomography (CT) scans, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans may be used to do this.
