Spinal column surgery

Spinal column surgery – spinal surgery

Spinal column surgery solves the most complicated problems which affect the spine and the whole organism.

The spinal column is the basis of human body which enables people to walk upright.

The spinal column consists of  vertebrae  interspersed with discs  which like shock-absorbers enable people to walk upright and to have the right body posture. 

The spinal column is lined with muscles on the outer side, while inside the spinal column there is the canal where the spinal cord and nerves are situated.

The spinal column consists of three parts: cervical, thoracic and lumbosacral.

There are 3 types of processes on the spine which can be treated surgically:

Pathological changes which produce pressure on nerve structures (the spinal cord and nerve roots), instability of some parts of the spinal column or some other causes of pain which can be surgically treated.

In the center for treatment of spinal diseases and spinal column surgery all kinds of diagnostic procedures referring to the spine and spinal cord are used.
