Dr. Aria Sabit, a specialist in minimally invasive spine surgery and an affiliate of the Michigan Brain and Spine Physicians Group PLLC, has weighed the pros and cons of the spinal fusion procedure to deal with back pain due to movement.
The spinal fusion procedure is used to correct problems with the small bones of the spine or the vertebrae. It is one of the options available to sufferers of back pains due to motion, such as the movement that happens in a part of the spine that is arthritic. The procedure can be used to treat pain due to conditions and illnesses such as degenerative disk disease, spondylolisthesis, spinal stenosis, and scoliosis.

Spinal fusion has been performed by surgeons like Dr. Aria Sabit for decades. While the procedure takes away some spinal mobility, its results do not limit the motion of the patients significantly after recovery. However, as with many treatment plans for pain management, the surgery may not work for all patients. A successful spinal fusion procedure may not reduce the amount of pain experienced by the patient due to the underlying condition.
It is important for patients to discuss with their surgeon the risks involved because spinal fusion is just one of the possible solutions for back pain. By understanding that there are risks involved with the procedure itself, like nerve damage and pseudarthrosis, as well as what the fusion process involves and the duration of the recovery, patients can make an informed decision about their choice of procedure.
