Disc replacement or fusion?

Patients are often surprised to learn that both procedures treat different spine problems.

Disc replacement can maintain motion in the spine, while fusion is often used when the spine needs additional stability.

But how do surgeons decide which approach is best?

In this video I explain:
✔ When disc replacement may be recommended
✔ When fusion is the better option
✔ What patients should understand before surgery

💬 If you’ve been diagnosed with a herniated disc or degenerative disc disease, drop a question in the comments. I review them regularly.

Compression fractures in the spine can cause severe back pain and limited mobility.

Many patients don’t realize there is a minimally invasive procedure called kyphoplasty that may help stabilize the fracture and relieve pain.

But how does it work?
And how quickly can patients feel relief?

In this video, I break down:
✔ What kyphoplasty is
✔ How the procedure works
✔ Who may be a good candidate

If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with a spinal compression fracture, this information may help.

Minimally invasive spine surgery.

You’ve probably heard the term — but what does it actually mean?

And how is it different from traditional open spine surgery?

In many cases, minimally invasive techniques can mean:
• Smaller incisions
• Less muscle disruption
• Reduced blood loss
• Faster recovery

But not every patient is a candidate — and choosing the right approach matters.

In this video, I explain the real differences and who may benefit most.

If you live in Houston and are considering spine surgery, make sure you understand all your options before making a decision.

Back pain doesn’t always start with an injury.

Lifting groceries, driving long distances, household chores, and repetitive movements can strain the spine especially when underlying issues already exist.

Persistent discomfort is not something you have to “push through.”

Many people hear the word “fusion” and immediately think it’s their only option.

But that’s not always the case.

Spine fusion surgery can be life-changing when truly necessary but in many situations, there are alternatives that can relieve pain without fusion.

So how do you know the difference?

That’s exactly what I’m discussing in this video.

If you’ve been told you need a fusion or you’re worried that surgery automatically means fusion, watch this first.

A laminectomy is a common spine procedure that helps relieve pressure on the spinal nerves by creating more space in the spinal canal.

In this video, Dr. Navin Subramanian explains what a laminectomy is, when it is recommended, and the kind of symptom relief patients can realistically expect, including improvement in leg pain, numbness, and walking tolerance when nerve compression is the true cause.

If you have ongoing back or leg pain and want clear answers and a real treatment plan, schedule an appointment with Dr. Subramanian today.

Back pain is common, but it should not be dismissed.

Disc changes, posture-related strain, and nerve irritation are frequent causes of ongoing discomfort. Identifying the source of pain is key to choosing the right treatment.

Distance running places repeated impact on the spine, especially when training volume increases too quickly. Tight hips, poor mechanics, or running through pain can lead to disc and nerve irritation. If back or leg pain persists after runs, your spine may need attention.

Houston friends 🌧️❄️

With the incoming cold, wet weather, it’s common to notice more back stiffness, joint aches, and spine discomfort. Cold temperatures can cause muscles to tighten and joints to feel less flexible, especially in the neck and lower back.

Tips to protect your spine during the storm:
• Stay warm (layers matter)
• Gentle stretching throughout the day
• Avoid sudden heavy lifting
• Keep good posture when sitting or working from home

If back pain or stiffness lingers, don’t ignore it.
Dr. Subramanian, Houston Spine Specialist & Board Certified, is here to help you stay moving comfortably.
