Restore your natural spine alignment, reduce pain, and reclaim your posture with expert flatback syndrome surgery.
Flatback syndrome is a spinal condition where the natural curve of the lower back (lumbar lordosis) is lost, causing difficulty standing upright and chronic pain. This loss of curvature often leads to a forward-leaning posture, muscle fatigue, and nerve irritation. Flatback syndrome can develop due to degenerative disc disease, prior spinal surgeries, or spinal deformities.
Dr. Parham Yashar, regarded as one of the best spinal deformity and reconstruction surgeons in Los Angeles, offers advanced surgical correction techniques designed to restore the natural curvature and balance of your spine while minimizing recovery time. Our Beverly Hills facility is equipped with state-of-the-art technology to support precise and effective treatments.
Flatback syndrome surgery addresses spinal deformities and imbalances that cause:
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, ensuring complete comfort and safety.
Depending on your unique condition, incisions may be made in the back or side of the spine to access the vertebrae.
Dr. Yashar carefully removes bone or disc material and repositions the vertebrae to restore the lumbar curve and spinal balance.
Metal rods, screws, and bone grafts are used to stabilize the spine in the corrected position, promoting solid fusion and long-term stability.
Incisions are closed with care to minimize scarring. Most patients stay in the hospital for monitoring before beginning a supervised rehabilitation plan.
You may be a candidate for flatback syndrome surgery if you:
Dr. Yashar will conduct a comprehensive evaluation, including physical exam and imaging, to determine the best personalized surgical plan for your needs.
