What is the Surgical Treatment?

1.  

   The surgical treatment aims to correct the curve, enough to achieve balance, fusion of the vertebrae, and elimination of nerve compression (decompression). Your doctor will decide on the extend of the procedures.

   While in some patients a long fusion and decompression is necessary , others may require a shorter decompression and fusion.

   A small fraction of patients can be relieved of their symptoms with only a limited decompression.
