WHAT IS CERVICAL SPINE SURGERY?

The cervical spine is a summation of seven vertebrae. Each of these vertebrae is separated by shock-absorbing discs. These discs allow the spine to be flexible and help us to move and bend.

The nerves spread out from the spinal cord and pass through openings in these vertebrae to other parts of the body. However, due to age and injury, one or more discs can degenerate leading to bulged disc or osteoarthritis of the vertebra. This leads to nerve pain and impairment of the nerves that exist between the vertebrae, leading to several problems.

The treatment of cervical spine dysfunctions is mainly done through two procedures - Decompression and Fusion.
