Spine, Cervical & Lumbar Procedures at Mountain Orthopaedics

At Mountain Orthopaedics, we offer comprehensive spine care to help you manage pain and improve your quality of life. Our experienced orthopaedic surgeons specialize in advanced procedures for both cervical (neck) and lumbar (lower back) conditions. Serving Bountiful, UT, and Layton, UT, we are dedicated to providing personalized, high-quality care using the latest techniques and technology.

‣ Discectomy

A discectomy is a surgical procedure to remove a herniated or damaged portion of a disc that is pressing on a nerve root or the spinal cord. This procedure can alleviate pain, numbness, and weakness caused by nerve compression. Our skilled surgeons perform both minimally invasive and traditional discectomies, depending on the patient’s specific condition, to ensure optimal outcomes and faster recovery times.

‣ Lumbar Fusion

Lumbar fusion is a surgical procedure used to treat chronic lower back pain caused by conditions such as degenerative disc disease, spinal instability, or spondylolisthesis. The procedure involves fusing two or more vertebrae together to eliminate motion at a painful segment of the spine. Our orthopaedic specialists use advanced techniques to perform lumbar fusion, providing stability and reducing pain to improve your overall function and quality of life.

‣ Disc Replacement

Disc replacement surgery is an alternative to spinal fusion for patients with severe disc degeneration. This procedure involves replacing a damaged disc with an artificial one to maintain motion in the spine. Our experienced surgeons perform disc replacements using the latest technology to ensure precise placement and long-lasting results. We are dedicated to helping you regain mobility and reduce pain.

‣ Cervical Fusion

Cervical fusion is a surgical procedure used to treat conditions affecting the neck, such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or instability. The procedure involves fusing two or more cervical vertebrae to provide stability and alleviate pain. Our orthopaedic specialists use advanced techniques to perform cervical fusion, ensuring optimal alignment and recovery. We are committed to providing personalized care to help you achieve a pain-free and active lifestyle.
