What Conditions Can Be Treated?

At MacKay Spine & Brain, our minimally invasive image-guided spine surgery is an effective solution for a range of spinal conditions that cause pain, restricted movement, and reduced quality of life.

  • Herniated or bulging discs – When the soft center of a spinal disc pushes through its tougher exterior, causing pain and nerve compression.

  • Spinal stenosis – A spinal canal narrowing that places pressure on nerves, leading to pain, numbness, or weakness.

  • Sciatica or nerve compression – Irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, often causing pain that radiates down the legs.

  • Spinal fractures or deformities – Structural damage to the spine that can result from injury, osteoporosis, or congenital conditions.

  • Spondylolisthesis – A condition where one vertebra slips forward over another, potentially leading to nerve pain and instability.

  • Chronic lower back or neck pain – Persistent pain that affects daily activities and is often linked to degenerative conditions or mechanical issues.

  • Other degenerative spine conditions – Including arthritis and disc degeneration that contribute to spinal discomfort and reduced mobility.
