Spinal Fusion is used to treat spinal instability and alleviate chronic mechanical back pain but many people are unsure of what spinal fusion actually does.

When abnormal movement between vertebrae is eliminated, pain is relieved. Spinal fusion performed by ONS neurosurgeons at Greenwich Hospital is frequently with minimally invasive techniques through small incisions.
