When spinal instability affects everyday life, there are solutions.

Lower back or neck pain, weakness or numbness in the limbs, and limited mobility are not symptoms that should be considered “normal.” In many cases, these symptoms are caused by instability of the spine.

Spinal fusion is a modern surgical technique aimed at stabilizing two or more vertebrae, allowing the spine to function safely and steadily again. In this way, pain is reduced, nerves are protected, and quality of life is improved.

When can it help?

Spinal fusion is performed in cases such as:

– Spondylolisthesis

– Recurrent disc herniation with instability

– Spinal deformities (scoliosis, kyphosis)

– Instability after a fracture or tumor

– Degenerative changes causing persistent symptoms

How is the procedure performed?

The operation is always tailored to each patient. Depending on the condition, it may be performed either with a traditional open approach or with minimally invasive techniques, involving smaller incisions and faster recovery.

The use of modern technologies, such as intraoperative navigation, increases the accuracy and safety of the procedure, always in combination with the experience of the surgical team.

After surgery

Mobilization usually begins within the first few hours or the following day. Hospitalization lasts only a few days and is followed by a physiotherapy program aimed at a gradual return to daily activities.

Safety and trust

Every surgical procedure requires proper indication and experience. A specialized medical team and state-of-the-art equipment play a crucial role in minimizing risks and achieving the best possible outcome.
