Surgical Spine Procedures

For complex spinal conditions, our team offers various surgical options to provide long-term relief and restore function with minimal disruption. Our surgical procedures include:

Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF): This surgery removes damaged discs in the neck and fuses adjacent vertebrae to relieve pain from conditions like degenerative disc disease or herniated discs.
Artificial Cervical Disc Replacement: A cutting-edge surgery to replace a damaged cervical disc with an artificial one to relieve pain while preserving neck movement.
Total Disc Replacement: For patients with severe disc degeneration, we replace the damaged disc with an artificial one to restore spinal function and alleviate pain.
Cervical Laminoplasty: This procedure creates space in the neck vertebrae to relieve pressure on the spinal cord and nerves, often used for spinal stenosis treatment.
Posterior Cervical Fusion: A posterior approach to fuse vertebrae in the neck, 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: This surgery fuses vertebrae in the lower back to treat instability caused by fractures, degenerative diseases, or deformities.
Sacroiliac Joint Fusion Fixation Stabilization: Used to treat chronic sacroiliac joint pain, this procedure stabilizes the pelvis by fusing the SI joints.
Spinal Stenosis Surgery: This 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 variety of minimally invasive options to provide relief with quicker recovery times. These procedures include:

Endoscopic Discectomy (Cervical, Thoracic, Lumbar): A procedure that removes herniated disc material using a small camera and specialized instruments, offering minimal recovery time.
Epidural Injection: A non-surgical method of delivering medication directly into the epidural space to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain from conditions like sciatica.
Facet Joint Injection: This procedure targets the facet joints in the spine to reduce pain and inflammation.
Laminectomy: A minimally invasive surgery that removes part of the vertebra to relieve pressure on the spinal cord and nerves, commonly used for spinal stenosis.
Medial Branch Block Injections: Injections to target pain-causing nerves in the facet joints, helping to diagnose and treat spinal pain.
Minimally Invasive Lumbar Discectomy: A procedure that removes part of a herniated disc in the lumbar spine to relieve pressure on the nerves.
SI Joint Injections: These injections reduce pain and inflammation in the sacroiliac joint, offering relief from dysfunction or injury.
Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty: These procedures inject medical-grade cement into a fractured vertebra to stabilize the spine and reduce pain.

Regenerative Spine Treatments

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

Bone Marrow Aspirate Injections: Utilizing the patient’s own bone marrow, this treatment promotes tissue regeneration and healing in the spine.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections: PRP therapy uses the patient’s concentrated platelets to accelerate tissue healing and reduce inflammation, helping with conditions like disc degeneration.
Exosomes Therapy: Exosomes are used in regenerative medicine to aid in tissue repair, particularly for intervertebral discs.
Disk Cell and Scaffold Treatment: This cutting-edge treatment involves specialized disc cells and scaffolds to regenerate damaged discs, offering an alternative to traditional surgery.
Intradiscal Therapy: Therapeutic agents are injected into intervertebral discs to promote regeneration and alleviate chronic pain related to disc issues.
