Treatments

Invasive spine surgery, including laminectomy, laminotomy, discectomy, foraminotomy, spinal fusion, interspinous device and artificial disc, permanently interferes with the natural movement of your spine because these treatments intentionally remove or destroy normal bones, ligaments, muscles, and joints from your spine. The collateral damage to the patient’s body caused by invasive spine surgery is often ignored by the surgeons who are pushing these dangerous but profitable types of surgery.

Invasive spine surgery damages not only the spinal disc but also the surrounding ligaments, bones and muscles permanently altering the patient’s natural posture, gait, station, and balance leading to a lifetime of agonizing joint and muscle issues from postoperative instability. Therefore, eventual fusion of the spine becomes necessary to treat surgical postoperative instability. Spinal fusion always results in permanent loss of movement.
