Spinal fusion is a specialized surgical procedure that aims to eliminate motion between two or more vertebrae in your spine, providing lasting relief from chronic pain caused by conditions like degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, scoliosis, or spinal instability.
At our center, under the expert care of Dr. Om Prakash Gupta, spinal fusion is performed with precision, safety, and a personalized approach to help patients regain mobility and lead pain-free lives.
What Is Spinal Fusion?
Spinal fusion involves permanently connecting two or more vertebrae to restrict movement and reduce pain caused by worn-out or unstable spinal joints. It is performed using bone grafts, and sometimes metal rods, screws, or cages to support and stabilize the spine.
There are two primary types of spinal fusion:
- Lumbar Spinal Fusion – targeting the lower back (lumbar spine)
- Cervical Spinal Fusion – focusing on the neck region (cervical spine)
Why Is Spinal Fusion Done?
You may be a candidate for spinal fusion if you have:
- Degenerative Disc Disease
- Herniated or Bulging Disc
- Spinal Fracture or Injury
- Scoliosis or Spinal Deformity
- Spinal Stenosis
- Spondylolisthesis
- Chronic neck or back pain unresponsive to conservative treatments
Lumbar vs. Cervical Spinal Fusion
1 Lumbar Spinal Fusion (Lower Back)
- Often used for degenerative disc disease, instability, or stenosis
- Can be approached from the back (posterior), front (anterior), or side (lateral)
- Helps relieve leg pain (sciatica), numbness, and lower back discomfort
2 Cervical Spinal Fusion (Neck)
- Commonly used for herniated discs, spinal cord compression, or instability
- Typically performed from the front (anterior cervical discectomy and fusion - ACDF)
- Relieves neck pain, arm pain, tingling, and weakness
