Dr. Ravi at Folsom Spine offers both minimally invasive anterior cervical fusions and open procedures. What is an anterior cervical fusion? If you experience relentless arm, leg, neck or lower back pain, paralysis or weakness in the limbs, perhaps you should know. For those who suffer degenerative problems in the spine, such as degenerative disc disease, an anterior cervical fusion can limit pain in the neck, back and extremities while eliminating or lessening other symptoms... including tingling, weakness and even paralysis. During the procedure, one or more cervical discs are removed and replaced with a titanium spacer. Learn more about anterior cervical fusions at www.folsomspine.com

Do you suffer from back and leg pain? A microdiscectomy could help! Also known as a microdecompresion, a microdiscectomy is a minimally invasive spinal procedure completed to alleviate severe back pain by taking pressure off of nerves in the spine. During the procedure, a surgeon makes a small incision in the back and removes the intervertabral disc putting pressure on the spine. By removing the disc, relief is achieved, and because the procedure is minimally invasive patient...s do not endure long, painful recoveries. Until now the problem with minimally invasive microdiscectomies is that not many spine surgeons were trained to do them in the Sacramento region, but with the opening of Folsom Spine in 2018, all that changed. Dr. Ravi Ramachandran, a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon specializing in spinal surgery, is one of very few doctors in the Sacramento region who offers this type of procedure for patients. If you have a history of disc disease or suffer from severe back pain, contact Folsom Spine at (916) 245-3322 for a consultation.

Surgery can be scary. But minimally invasive surgical procedures take a lot of the fear out of spine surgery for patients who qualify.

In Sacramento there are very few surgeons who offer minimally invasive spinal surgeries to patients, but these procedures are on the rise because of the attractive benefits.
