Key Surgical Methods:
- Spinal Fusion: This procedure stabilizes the spine by fusing two or more vertebrae.
- Vertebroplasty/Kyphoplasty: These techniques involve injecting bone cement to treat spinal fractures.

Cervical disc surgery focuses on treating disc problems in the neck area. The cervical spine comprises seven vertebrae, and issues here can cause neck pain, arm numbness, and weakness.
Key Surgical Methods:
- Cervical Discectomy: Removal of the problematic disc.
- Cervical Fusion: Fusing vertebrae post-discectomy.
- Artificial Disc Replacement: Replacing the damaged disc with an artificial one.

Lumbar disc surgery addresses issues in the lower back. The lumbar spine has five vertebrae, and problems here can cause lower back pain, leg numbness, and weakness.
Key Surgical Methods:
- Lumbar Discectomy: Removal of herniated discs.
