Surgical Treatments

When nonsurgical treatments do not ease back pain or increase motion, surgery may be recommended. The Spine and Pain Management Center surgeons specialize in a variety of surgical techniques including minimally invasive procedures that can be done on an outpatient basis.
Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery is one of the major developments in spine surgery and utilizes small skin incisions in an attempt to leave the body as naturally intact as it was prior to surgery. Our goal is to achieve rapid recovery, decrease the risk of infection, nerve injury, bleeding and scarring, while decreasing post-operative pain.
The surgical facilities at Geauga Medical Center feature technically advanced operating rooms, allowing our physicians to provide state-of-the-art care and produce the best possible outcomes.
