This comprehensive review explores the latest advancements in the management of spinal disorders, including minimally invasive surgical techniques, treatment of complex deformities, disc replacement technologies, and non-surgical approaches. The review highlights the potential of innovations such as robotic-assisted surgeries, regenerative medicine, and artificial intelligence to enhance precision, reduce recovery times, and improve patient outcomes. It also discusses the integration of wearable technologies and personalized medicine in tailoring treatments. Challenges such as high costs, accessibility issues, and limited long-term data are critically analyzed, alongside gaps in research, including a lack of diversity in study populations and insufficient economic evaluations. Future directions emphasize the need for multidisciplinary collaboration to develop durable, accessible, and personalized solutions to address the global burden of spinal disorders.
