Spine Surgery

Back and neck pain can interfere with every part of your life—work, exercise, even simple daily activities. At the Surgical Institute of Reading, our dedicated spine specialists are here to help you move comfortably again. With advanced technology, experienced surgeons, and a compassionate care team, we provide complete spine care tailored to your needs.

Whether your pain comes from an injury, arthritis, or another spine condition, we offer both traditional and advanced surgical solutions to help restore function and reduce discomfort. Conditions we treat include:

• Degenerative disc disease
• Herniated discs
• Osteoarthritis and osteoporosis
• Sciatica
• Scoliosis
• Spondylolisthesis
• Spinal stenosis
• Trauma and spinal tumors

Procedures we offer:

• Discectomy / Laminectomy – Relieves pressure on nerves by removing damaged disc material or a small portion of bone.
• Spinal Fusion – Joins vertebrae together to stabilize the spine and reduce pain.
• Tumor Removal – Safely removes tumors that affect the spinal column.
• Kyphoplasty – Repairs spinal fractures and improves stability.
• Total Disc Replacement – Replaces a damaged disc with an artificial one for better movement.

Preparation plays an important role in your recovery. A week before your procedure, your care team will guide you through steps such as:

• Stopping certain medications (like blood thinners) as instructed by your doctor
• Staying lightly active to maintain mobility and strength
• Talking openly with your surgeon to fully understand the procedure
• Building a support system—family, friends, or counseling—to help you feel confident and ready

Healing takes time, but you won’t be doing it alone. After surgery, our team will support you every step of the way:

• Pain Relief – We’ll guide you on safe, effective medication use.
• Activity Restrictions – To protect your spine, you’ll need to avoid driving, bending, and certain movements during early recovery.
• Physical Therapy – A personalized program of gentle exercises will help rebuild strength, improve flexibility, and speed recovery.
• Nutrition Support – Our nurses can recommend diet choices that promote healing.

• Experienced Surgeons who specialize in spine procedures
• Modern technology for safer, more precise surgery
• Personalized care plans designed for your unique needs
• Compassionate support from diagnosis through recovery
