Neurosurgery and Spine Clinic
When back or neck pain disrupt daily life, getting the right care close to home matters. Bozeman Health’s Neurosurgery and Spine Clinic brings together specialized spine experts in one coordinated program, offering advanced surgical and nonsurgical treatments, streamlined diagnostics and integrated follow-up care. Patients across southwest Montana can access high-level spine care locally, reducing the need to travel to larger urban centers.
Spine Surgery
Back and neck pain can be debilitating, affecting your ability to work, move, and enjoy life. If conservative treatments have not provided relief, spine surgery may be an option.
This procedure is tailored to the patient’s specific condition. It is designed to relieve pressure on the spinal cord and nerves, correct instability, and reduce pain.
Your Recovery Journey
Post-surgical rehabilitation focuses on physical therapy, strengthening exercises, and gradual activity increases.
Successful outcomes often include reduced pain, improved spinal stability, and enhanced mobility.
Types of Spine Surgery
- Discectomy: Removes part or all of the herniated disc that is pressing on the spinal cord or nerves.
- Laminectomy: Removes a portion of the vertebra (lamina) to relieve pressure on the spinal cord.
- Spinal Fusion: Permanently connects two or more vertebrae to stabilize the spine and reduce pain.
