Spine Surgery
From complex traumatic spine injuries to herniated disks, we have the surgical expertise to help end your back, neck and radiating pain.Common Reasons for Spine SurgeryMost back, neck and radiating pain can be treated without surgery. But when debilitating pain becomes a part of your daily life, our spine care experts can help you find relief.We can tell when you're a good candidate for spine surgery. Plus, we're experts at judging which type of surgery is likely to provide the best results in your individual situation.Conditions requiring spinal surgery may include:Arthritis/degenerative disc disease. As we get older, the cushion-like discs that separate the bones in our spine become flatter and more brittle. This can allow the bones to make slight, abnormal movements, irritating surrounding muscles, joints and nerves.Instability/spondylolisthesis. In this condition, one of the bones in your spine — called a vertebra — slides forward, out of its normal position.Fractures and trauma to the spine.Ruptured or herniated disc. The discs that separate the bones of our spine are a bit like jelly doughnuts. As we age, sometimes one of the discs weakens and breaks open, releasing some of the "jelly." When the jelly bulges out, it can put pressure on a nearby nerve.Spinal deformities. This can include scoliosis and kyphosis.Spinal tumors. This type of surgery requires a high degree of precision to remove as much of a tumor as possible without injuring the spinal cord and nearby nerves.Spinal stenosis. In your spine, there are openings where nerves pass through. These openings can grow narrower, putting pressure on the nerve.

Sacroiliac (SI) Fusion
We know how hard it is to live with hip or back pain, especially when it hurts to walk or lie down. That’s why we offer sacroiliac (SI) fusion, to help you find the relief you need to get back to the life you love. What is SI Fusion? Like any joint, the SI joint (where your spine and pelvis meet) can break down over time or because of an injury. The result is often a sore lower back, hip or groin. SI fusion, a minimally invasive procedure designed to stabilize the SI joint, can stop ongoing pain in its tracks. Using a small incision and implant system, we can fuse the SI joint and help you recover faster. Why Luminis Health? Luminis Health has more experience with SI fusion than any other health system in the region. Neurosurgeon Christopher Taleghani, MD, has performed more than 500 SI fusion surgeries. He has also taught courses for other surgeons and providers and has been an invited speaker at national conferences on the subject.
