Treatments & Spine Surgery
From injections to complex surgery, discover the therapeutic techniques used by Dr Dimitriu.
Non-surgical Treatments
Dr Dimitriu systematically favors medical treatment first. Surgery is only proposed when conservative treatment fails or in case of neurological emergency.
Medical Treatment
Pain medication, anti-inflammatory drugs, physiotherapy. Most spinal conditions respond well to conservative treatment.
Spinal Injections
Corticosteroid injections near nerve structures under radiological guidance. Effective for persistent radicular pain.
Rehabilitation
Specialized physiotherapy, muscle strengthening, postural education. Essential in chronic back pain management.
Lumbar Spine Operations
Lumbar Discectomy
Microsurgical removal of the herniated disc compressing the nerve. Minimally invasive, often outpatient, rapid recovery.
Lumbar Laminectomy
Spinal canal decompression by removing vertebral laminae. Release of compressed nerve roots.
Lumbar Fusion
Fusion of two or more vertebrae to stabilize an unstable segment. Posterior, anterior, or lateral approach.
Lumbar Disc Replacement
Replacement of degenerated disc with an articulated prosthesis. Preserves segment mobility.
Vertebroplasty
Cement injection into a fractured vertebra (osteoporotic compression). Immediate stabilization and rapid pain relief.
Cervical Spine Operations
Cervical Discectomy
Anterior approach removal of cervical disc herniation. Fusion or disc replacement based on indication.
Cervical Fusion
Anterior cervical vertebral fusion with interbody cage. For disc herniations and myelopathy.
Cervical Laminectomy
Posterior cervical canal decompression for multilevel cervical myelopathy.
