Living with chronic back pain can drastically impact your quality of life. While many spinal conditions respond to conservative treatments, some cases require spinal fusion surgery for effective, lasting relief. So, when is spinal fusion necessary and is it worth it to go through this life-changing procedure?
Spinal fusion surgery is a common procedure aimed at treating a variety of spinal conditions that cause chronic pain, instability, or deformity. The surgery eliminates motion at the affected segment by permanently connecting two or more vertebrae, providing relief and stability.
When cervical spine issues affect multiple levels of your neck, a two-level ACDF surgery might be the key to restoring your quality of life. This surgical procedure addresses more complex spinal conditions than a single-level ACDF (anterior cervical discectomy and fusion), requiring additional expertise and consideration.
