Surgical Spine Procedures

For complex spine conditions, we offer a variety of surgical options aimed at providing long-term relief and restoring function. Some of our surgical procedures include:

  • Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF): Removes damaged discs in the neck and fuses adjacent vertebrae to relieve pain from conditions such as degenerative disc disease or herniated discs.
  • Artificial Cervical Disc Replacement: Replaces a damaged cervical disc with an artificial one to relieve pain and preserve neck movement.
  • Total Disc Replacement: Replaces a damaged disc with an artificial one to restore spinal function and alleviate pain from severe disc degeneration.
  • Cervical Laminoplasty: Creates space in the neck vertebrae to relieve pressure on the spinal cord and nerves, commonly used for treating spinal stenosis.
  • Posterior Cervical Fusion: Fuses vertebrae in the neck using a posterior approach, stabilizing the spine and treating conditions like fractures or degenerative diseases.
  • Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion (LLIF): A minimally invasive lumbar spine surgery performed through the side of the body to treat degenerative disc disease and spinal instability with less recovery time.
  • Posterior Lumbar Fusion: Fuses vertebrae in the lower back to treat instability caused by fractures, degenerative conditions, or deformities.
  • Sacroiliac Joint Fusion Fixation Stabilization: A procedure used to stabilize the pelvis by fusing the SI joints, helping treat chronic sacroiliac joint pain.
  • Spinal Stenosis Surgery: Alleviates pressure on the spinal cord or nerves to relieve symptoms like pain, numbness, and weakness caused by spinal stenosis.

Ultra-Minimally Invasive Procedures

For those seeking alternatives to traditional surgery, we offer a range of minimally invasive procedures with quicker recovery times. These treatments include:

  • Endoscopic Discectomy (Cervical, Thoracic, Lumbar): Removes herniated disc material through a small camera and specialized instruments for minimal recovery time.
  • Epidural Injection: A non-surgical treatment that delivers medication directly to the epidural space to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain from conditions such as sciatica.
  • Facet Joint Injection: Targets the facet joints in the spine to reduce pain and inflammation.
  • Laminectomy: Removes part of the vertebra to relieve pressure on the spinal cord and nerves, often used for spinal stenosis.
  • Medial Branch Block Injections: Injections that target pain-causing nerves in the facet joints to diagnose and treat spinal pain.
  • Minimally Invasive Lumbar Discectomy: Removes part of a herniated disc in the lumbar spine to relieve nerve pressure and alleviate pain.
  • SI Joint Injections: Reduce pain and inflammation in the sacroiliac joint, providing relief from dysfunction or injury.
  • Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty: Injects medical-grade cement into fractured vertebrae to stabilize the spine and reduce pain.

Regenerative Spine Treatments

We offer regenerative treatments at Gerling Spine Care NJ, which promote natural healing and reduce reliance on surgery. These therapies focus on stimulating the body’s healing abilities to treat conditions like degenerative disc disease and tendonitis:

  • Bone Marrow Aspirate Injections: Promotes tissue regeneration and healing in the spine using the patient’s own bone marrow.
  • Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections: Uses concentrated platelets from the patient’s blood to accelerate tissue healing and reduce inflammation, helping conditions like disc degeneration.
  • Exosomes Therapy: A regenerative medicine treatment that aids tissue repair, particularly for intervertebral discs.
  • Disk Cell and Scaffold Treatment: A cutting-edge approach using specialized disc cells and scaffolds to regenerate damaged discs, providing an alternative to traditional surgery.
  • Intradiscal Therapy: Therapeutic agents are injected into intervertebral discs to promote regeneration and alleviate chronic pain related to disc degeneration.
