If you experience back pain that disrupts your life, it’s time to schedule an evaluation at Spine Solutions. Other signs you need medical care for your back pain include:
If you have severe and disruptive back pain, it’s always best to take care of the problem now rather than later. The earlier you seek treatment, the higher the chance that your back pain may respond to nonsurgical or minimally invasive surgical care.
At Spine Solutions, the leading orthopedic experts specialize in minimally invasive surgery. If your back pain doesn’t respond to more conservative measures like physical therapy, medication, and spine injections, your surgeon may recommend a minimally invasive procedure.
Some standard minimally invasive procedures include:
In most cases, your surgeon uses tiny incisions and operates through a small scope. This approach ensures a minimal amount of tissue disruption. For example, the surgeons use specialized retractor devices to spread muscles apart to reach the surgical area rather than cutting through them.
The minimally invasive approach means a quicker and easier recovery, especially when paired with physical therapy.
