Lumbar Fusion in Beaumont, TX

Lumbar fusion surgery is used to permanently join multiple vertebrae in your spine, thus eliminating movement between them. The fusion process involves techniques that are designed to act like the normal process when a broken bone heals. During fusion, the surgeon will place a bone-like material between the space of the two vertebrae in the spine. Screws, rods and metal plates can be used to help hold the vertebrae together, which allows them to heal into a single unit. Take the time to discuss your concerns with Spine Tech. They can work to determine what it is that seems to be the problem and help you determine an appropriate treatment plan. Working together with your provider will help you begin the path to a life free from pain and disability.

  2. Lumbar fusion surgery Lumbar fusion surgery is used to permanently join multiple vertebrae in your spine, thus eliminating movement between them. The fusion process involves techniques that are designed to act like the normal process when a broken bone heals. During fusion, the surgeon will place a bone-like material between the space of the two vertebrae in the spine. Screws, rods and metal plates can be used to help hold the vertebrae together, which allows them to heal into a single unit. Since spinal fusion surgery will make parts of the spine immobile, it can alter the way the spine moves. This places additional strain and stress on the vertebrae both above and below the part that is fused, which can increase the rate of degeneration in those areas.

  3. Lumbar Fusion: Why It’s Done Fusion will permanently connect multiple vertebrae in the spine to help improve your stability, reduce pain and correct any deformities. The doctor might also recommend spinal fusion for treating the following types of problems:  Broken Vertebrae  Spine Deformities  Spinal Instability or Weakness  Spondylolisthesis  Herniate Disc  Chronic Pain in the Lower Back

  4. Results from the Procedure Lumbar fusion is often an effective means of treating fractures, spinal instability and spinal deformity. It can be difficult to determine what the exact cause of the pain is, even when a bone spur or herniated disc shows on the x-rays. Many individuals have an x-ray that shows back problems of some sort, but they never had any pain. Pain isn’t always associated with the problem that was revealed on your scans. Even when you find relief from the fusion procedure, you might end up with more pain down the line. Immobilizing a portion of the spine will place added strain and stress on the areas surrounding the fused part. This can increase at a steady rate while those parts of the spine are degenerating, so you might have to go through additional surgery later on down the line.
