Non-Fusion Spine Surgery

Non-fusion spine surgery is a modern approach designed to treat conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and degenerative disc disease without permanently limiting movement between vertebrae. Unlike traditional spinal fusion, these procedures aim to relieve pain while preserving as much natural motion as possible. At Covenant Spine and Neurology, we carefully evaluate candidates to determine if non-fusion surgical options are appropriate, prioritizing stability, mobility, and long-term spinal health.

Types of Non-Fusion Spine Surgery

Non-fusion procedures are tailored to the patient’s specific condition and may include:

 

  • Artificial Disc Replacement – Replaces a damaged disc with a prosthetic implant that maintains motion and stability.

  • Decompression Procedures – Removes bone or tissue pressing on spinal nerves, reducing pain and improving function without fusing bones together.

These techniques focus on relieving nerve compression, reducing pain, and preserving flexibility in the treated segment of the spine.

Benefits of Non-Fusion Spine Surgery

Patients may experience several advantages compared to traditional fusion surgery, such as:

 

  • Shorter recovery times

  • Lower risk of adjacent segment degeneration (stress on nearby vertebrae)

  • Preservation of spinal mobility

  • Faster return to daily activities

Because these procedures preserve motion, they can provide a more natural long-term outcome for many patients.
