Lumbar spine surgery is a specialized procedure designed to treat disorders of the lower back (lumbar spine). The lumbar spine supports most of the body’s weight, enables movement, and protects spinal nerves that control the legs and lower body. When conditions such as disc herniation, spinal stenosis, degeneration, or instability compress the nerves or spinal canal, surgical intervention may be required to relieve pressure, restore stability, and improve mobility.
Lumbar spine surgery is performed to treat conditions affecting the lower back that cause persistent pain, nerve compression, instability, or difficulty walking. It helps relieve symptoms such as lower back pain, leg pain (sciatica), numbness, tingling, weakness, and restricted movement — restoring function and improving quality of life.
