Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (ALIF)

at Texas Neuro-Spine Surgery

Dr. Chris Michael – Your Spine Specialist

At Texas Neuro-Spine Surgery, Dr. Chris Michael employs anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) to help patients manage debilitating spinal conditions. This advanced procedure involves removing a damaged intervertebral disc through a minimally invasive incision in the abdomen and stabilizing the spine by fusing the adjacent vertebrae with a bone graft.

Why Choose ALIF?

ALIF can be highly effective for conditions such as degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, and other forms of spinal instability. By accessing the spine from the front, ALIF minimizes disruption to the back muscles and nerves, potentially allowing for a quicker recovery and reduced postoperative pain.

What to Expect

  • Quality Care: Dr. Chris Michael and his team will guide you through every step, from diagnosis to recovery.
  • Customized Treatment: We tailor the ALIF procedure to each patient’s unique needs, aiming for the best possible outcomes.
  • Innovative Techniques: Utilizing advanced surgical technology and minimally invasive methods, we strive to provide high-quality spine care.

Recovery and Support

After your ALIF surgery, our dedicated rehabilitation team will support you throughout your recovery process. Many patients experience significant relief from their symptoms and can return to their daily activities with improved mobility and quality of life.
