Spinal Fusion surgery can cost as much as $80,000 USD in the U.S. without proper health insurance and wait times in Canada can be up to 3 years long. With Health & Wellness Bazaar, traveling to Mexico for Endoscopic Discectomy surgery is safe and easy and our surgery packages start at $14,000 USD, saving you up to 75% on the total cost of treatment with minimum to no wait time.
Our medical providers are able to offer such low pricing compared to the U.S. because of the low cost of land, labor, and materials in the destinations where they practice. The safety, quality, and efficacy of the Endoscopic Discectomy surgery is never compromised despite the low pricing and the patient experience is well beyond U.S. standards. Currently we have orthopedic surgeons in Tijuana, Monterrey, Guadalajara, Puerto Vallarta, and Cancun, Mexico. Please contact us for more information.
Our spine surgeons will provide a no-cost evaluation of your case to determine if Spinal Fusion is right for you and determine the specific protocol of the treatment. Simply contact us so we can gather some information about your symptoms, retrieve any medical images you may have, and we will submit your case to our surgeons for review. Once the review has been completed, we will explain in detail the surgeons’ assessment of your case and recommendation for treatment. We can also coordinate complimentary consultation over the phone with the surgeons so you can further discuss your case and address all your concerns.

THE SPINAL FUSION PROCEDURE
There are several different techniques that may be used to fuse the spine. There are also different “approaches” your surgeon can take to reach your spine.
- Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion: Your doctor goes in through your belly
- Posterior Fusion: Your doctor goes in from the back
After he makes the incision, he moves the muscles and structures to the side to see your spine. The joint or joints between the damaged or painful disks are removed.
Your surgeon can use screws, rods, or pieces of bone (called a graft) from another part of your body to connect the disks and keep them from moving. A bone graft that comes from your body is usually taken from your hip or pelvis. Bone from another person is called a donor graft. Some doctors place a substance called bone morphogenetic protein into the spine instead. It helps to stimulate bone growth.
RECOVERING FROM SPINAL FUSION SURGERY
Patients tend to feel more discomfort after Spinal Fusion surgery comparing to other types of spine procedures. Our surgeons recommend limiting physical activity and preventing bending or lifting for weeks pending on each patient’s condition. In general, the earliest evidence of bone healing is not apparent on X-ray until at least six weeks following surgery. During this time, the patient’s activity is generally restricted.
