At NY Spine & Orthopedic, we specialize in a range of advanced spine surgeries, including Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF). This procedure is performed to alleviate spinal cord or nerve root pressure caused by herniated discs or bone spurs in the cervical spine. By removing the damaged disc and fusing the adjacent vertebrae, ACDF aims to restore stability and relieve pain in the neck and arms.
