We will provide an overview of the different spine surgeries available at our Sugar Land, TX hospital so that you can make an informed decision about your healthcare needs.
Epidural steroid injection
We offer epidural steroid injections as a treatment for neck and back pain. This type of injection is usually injected directly into the epidural space, the area between the vertebrae in your spine. The steroids target inflammation causing nerve compression in this space and can help reduce pain or other symptoms related to nerve damage.
Epidural steroid injections quickly relieve muscle spasms, joint stiffness, and nerve-related pain. It may also be used to treat chronic conditions such as:
- Sciatica (pain radiating down your legs)
- Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal)
- Herniated discs
- Radiculopathy (nerve irritation)
Spinal Cord Stimulator Implantation
Our state-of-the-art Spinal Cord Stimulator Implantation helps reduce chronic pain and improve quality of life. The procedure involves surgically implanting a device that delivers electrical stimulation to your spinal cord or nerves to block pain signals from reaching your brain. This is an innovative treatment option for those suffering from chronic back and neck pain who have not seen success with other treatments, such as physical therapy and medications.
Cervical and lumbar fusions
We have some of the most advanced treatments for spinal fusion procedures available. Our specialists are experienced in performing cervical and lumbar fusions to reduce pain and improve mobility.
A cervical or lumbar fusion can realign the spine and help restore movement and strength in the affected area. This procedure is performed for patients with the following conditions:
- Degenerative disc disease
- Vertebral fractures
- Scoliosis
Kyphoplasty
Memorial Hermann Surgical Hospital First Colony offers kyphoplasty, a minimally invasive procedure to treat spinal fractures. This procedure is an alternative to open surgery, allowing patients quicker recovery and more effective pain relief.
Microdiscectomy
Microdiscectomy is one of the most common minimally invasive spine surgeries performed at Memorial Hermann Surgical Hospital First Colony. During a microdiscectomy, a surgeon removes herniated disc material by pressing on a nerve root or the spinal cord by making a small incision in the back. This procedure can help relieve leg pain and other symptoms associated with a herniated disc.
Laminectomy
Laminectomy at Memorial Hermann Surgical Hospital First Colony is a minimally-invasive spine surgery that removes part of the lamina, a thin arch-shaped section of the vertebrae. This procedure can help relieve pain caused by spinal stenosis, herniated discs, and other conditions that affect the spinal cord or nerves.
