Back and neck pain can significantly reduce your quality of life, limiting your range of motion and interfering with sports and other activities. The good news: There is hope for those suffering with debilitating back and neck pain.
When conservative (nonsurgical) treatments fail to adequately address pain and restore function to an injured area, surgery may become necessary. Thankfully, surgical advancements in recent years have dramatically improved how back the pain specialists partnering with Nobilis Health are able to treat spine disorders, such as degenerative disc disease and spinal stenosis.
The following surgical neck and back pain treatments can restore function and provide significant pain relief:
Among the most significant technological advancements in neck and back injury treatment is minimally invasive surgery, which involves sending a specialized camera and tiny surgical instruments through small incisions to perform a corrective procedure.
Minimally invasive spine surgery has many advantages, including smaller incisions, less pain, faster recovery times, and less damage to surrounding muscle and soft tissue. Patients can typically resume work and normal activities much more quickly than with traditional surgery. Your orthopedic surgeon will perform a thorough evaluation of your condition to determine whether you may be a candidate for this minimally invasive surgery.
