With extensive experience performing brain and spine surgery for degenerative conditions, trauma and cancer, the skilled surgeons at Lexington Brain and Spine Institute utilize both open and minimally-invasive techniques to achieve the best possible outcomes.
A surgery performed to treat bone spurs that stick out from the edges of normal bone and cause pain as they make contact with nerves and other bones. In this surgery, the small portion of the bony section causing pain is removed.
A decompression surgery where the ligament that runs along the back side of the spine is cut in order to relieve pressure. This surgery can also be performed to gain access to a herniated or ruptured disc in the spine, remove bone spurs known as osteophytes, to address nerve damage, or remove a tumor from the spine.
A surgery that can be done at any level of the spine that relieves pressure caused by a herniated or ruptured disc. Often patients have this surgery to address symptoms such as pain, numbness, and weakness.
A surgery that stabilizes the spine by fusing the weak vertebrae with healthy bone and addresses spinal instability associated with degenerative disc disease, scoliosis, or other problems with spinal alignment. Often a fusion requires hardware like metal rods, plates, or screws for support.
Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (ALIF)
Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (PLIF)
Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF)
Direct Lateral Interbody Fusion (DLIF)
A procedure done to treat compression fractures in the spine caused by injury or osteoporosis.
Also known as cervical disc replacement, cervical arthroplasty is a type of procedure that involves replacing a damaged disc with an artificial disc to treat symptoms of degenerative disc disease or unresolved cervical disc herniation.

Conveniently located on the first floor of Lexington Medical Park 3, our dedicated Physical Therapy department supports patients of Lexington Brain and Spine Institute by offering comprehensive and individualized care. Whether pre-surgical or post-surgical, high-quality therapy is vital to decreasing pain and regaining function.
This is a broad category of modalities that includes treatments such as TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) and IFC (Interferential Current) as well as monophasic, biphasic, and Russian currents. E-Stim has been widely used to decrease pain, increase blood-flow, provide relaxation, and to retrain muscles.
Spinal Traction or Spinal Decompression can be performed in our office on the cervical and lumbar spine as well as on peripheral joints. Traction is commonly used for degenerative discs, degenerative joints, bulging discs, as well as spasms and contractures to alleviate compression and decrease pain. The decompression provides a low load and pain-free stretch over a prolonged duration.
