Spinal surgery is performed to correct spinal pathologies that cause pain. Back surgery is used to relieve the pain and/or numbness associated with this pain, which often radiates to other areas of the back, arms, and legs. Normally, back, and spinal pain is caused by the compression of a nerve within it.
