Spinal Fusion Surgery

If the cause of your back pain seems to be motion between segments of your vertebrae, spinal fusion may be a way to prevent motion and stop the pain. Spinal fusion involves permanently connecting — or "welding" — two or more vertebrae together....


Evaluating your suitability

Before you and your doctor agree to surgery as an option, your doctor will want to make sure that you've given nonsurgical treatments a reasonable trial. Also, your doctor may conduct a study called a diskogram, which is a special X-ray examination that involves the use of a dye....

More study is needed regarding the long-term efficacy of spinal fusion to treat discogenic pain. A study published in the May 2005 issue of the British Medical Journal concluded that people who are candidates for spinal fusion may obtain benefits similar to those of surgery from an intensive rehabilitation program. A 2007 systematic review of several studies, including the 2005 British Medical Journal study, stated it wasn't possible to reach a definitive conclusion about whether fusion surgery might be effective in treating discogenic pain. The review did state that the nature of nonsurgical treatment of back pain "may be critical" in determining whether it's a better approach than fusion.....
