Get immediate access to the most advanced spinal surgeries in France, with our comprehensive support at every step.
Cervical or Lumbar Surgery
- Cervical Surgery: In France, cervical surgery includes arthrodesis, disc replacement, minimally invasive endoscopy, and decompression foraminotomy, effectively correcting hernias, stenoses, and painful discogenic instabilities.
- Lumbar Surgery: In France, lumbar surgery offers arthrodesis, disc replacement, minimally invasive endoscopy, TLIF/ALIF fusion, laminectomy decompression, and treatment of hernias, stenoses, and disabling spondylolisthesis.
Simple Release (decompression) - Mobility preservation without implant. Preserves adjacent levels.
Endoscopie
Minimally Invasive
Open (standard approach)
Motion - Mobility preservation with implant.
Preserves adjacent levels.
Motion surgery combines all the techniques designed to stabilize your back without stiffening it—the exact opposite of traditional arthrodesis. Using dynamic or elastic implants and minimally invasive approaches, it provides lasting pain relief while maintaining flexion, extension, and rotation.
The TOPS System
IntraSPINE
CP-ESP®
LP-ESP
B-DYN®
Cementoplasty & Kyphoplasty
Fusion - Permanent blocking of the segment. Multiple implants. Effect on adjacent levels.
Fusion aims to eliminate pathological mobility that irritates nerve roots or destroys discs, while correcting the sagittal axis or scoliosis if necessary. It remains the ideal option for major instabilities, advanced spondylolisthesis, multi-segmental disc disease, or recurrences after dynamic surgery.

FAQ
Yes. All surgeries are performed in accredited French hospitals that follow the highest European and international standards. Our partner surgeons are leaders in their fields, and Neurotherapy Montreal manages your pre- and post-operative care locally to ensure your safety throughout the entire process.
Patients suffering from chronic back or neck pain, herniated discs, stenosis, scoliosis, spondylolisthesis, or vertebral fractures who are either facing long wait times in Canada or seeking advanced procedures like endoscopic or motion-preserving surgery are ideal candidates. A full evaluation in Montreal confirms eligibility.
The full process generally takes two to three months, including diagnosis, planning, and surgery in France. Hospital stays are short (often under 5 days for minimally invasive procedures), and most patients return to Montreal within 1–2 weeks for post-op follow-up.
- No wait times — surgery within weeks instead of years.
- Lower total cost — starting at $35,800 compared to $40,000–$60,000+ in private clinics.
- Access to world-class surgeons and advanced techniques not widely available in Canada.
- Local care in Montreal for preparation and recovery.
- End-to-end organization of travel, logistics, and coordination.
We offer a complete range of surgical options, including:
- Decompression surgery (non-fusion, mobility-preserving)
- Endoscopic spine surgery (minimally invasive)
- Motion-preserving procedures using implants such as TOPS™, IntraSPINE, CP-ESP®, LP-ESP, and B-DYN®
- Fusion surgeries such as ALIF, PLIF/TLIF, and XLIF/LLIF for complex cases
- Cementoplasty and kyphoplasty for vertebral fractures
- Decompression removes the cause of nerve pressure without restricting movement — ideal when stability is good.
- Motion-preserving surgery uses dynamic implants to stabilize the spine while keeping flexibility.
- Fusion surgery permanently joins vertebrae to treat severe instability or multi-level degeneration.
Yes. Systems such as TOPS™, CP-ESP®, and IntraSPINE have undergone years of research, clinical trials, and regulatory approvals (including FDA and CE). These implants are designed to reduce pain and preserve natural movement while preventing stress on adjacent spinal levels.
Endoscopic and minimally invasive approaches use tiny incisions and specialized instruments, resulting in:
- Less blood loss and tissue damage
- Shorter hospital stays (often same-day discharge)
- Faster, less painful recovery
- Minimal scarring and lower infection risk
Traditional open surgery is still the best option for certain complex deformities or multi-level fusions.
Recovery varies by procedure:
- Endoscopic or minimally invasive surgery: 2–4 weeks for most daily activities
- Motion-preserving surgery: 4–6 weeks
- Fusion surgery: 2–3 months for full recovery
All follow-up and rehabilitation are coordinated locally at Neurotherapy Montreal.
Neurotherapy Montreal provides continuous follow-up and direct communication with your French surgical team. Most issues can be addressed locally, and we ensure a coordinated response if further evaluation is required.
While Quebec’s public system does not typically reimburse surgery abroad, some private health insurance policies or employer plans may cover portions of the cost (consultations, imaging, or travel medical insurance). We can provide documentation for claims.
Procedures start at $35,800 CAD, which includes hospital fees, surgeon’s fees, anesthesia, and local coordination. This is less than half the cost of equivalent private surgeries in Canada or the U.S.
No referral is required. You can contact Neurotherapy Montreal directly to schedule your evaluation.
Yes. We work with multiple leading centers and more than 20 spine specialists across France. Based on your diagnosis, we match you with the surgeon and facility best suited to your condition.
Absolutely. We arrange or assist with flights, accommodations, airport transfers, and translation support if needed. Our team ensures your experience is smooth from Montreal to France and back.
Simply book a consultation at Neurotherapy Montreal. We’ll review your medical history, imaging, and symptoms, then propose the most appropriate surgical options and a personalized treatment plan.
