Spinal Fusion Treatment

Jupiter and West Palm Beach Offices serving all of Florida

During this procedure, the surgeon permanently joins two or more vertebrae in the spine. The vertebrae will grow together to form a single, solid bone. Spinal fusion is commonly performed in the neck and lower back, and may be used to correct a wide range of problems in the spine.
