How Endoscopic Foraminotomy Relieves Pressure on Spinal Nerve Roots

Individuals suffering from spinal impingement or pinched nerves often experience painful and uncomfortable symptoms that drastically impact their quality of life. An endoscopic foraminotomy can help relieve pressure on spinal nerve roots and help you get back to a more mobile and painless lifestyle. This minimally invasive surgery can be an outpatient procedure, getting you back on your feet as quickly as possible. At NJ Spine & Orthopedic, our experienced spine specialists offer cutting-edge research, technology, and treatments for our patients in New Jersey, Florida, and New York. We understand how challenging living with chronic back pain can be and are committed to treating you and your injuries with the utmost care. Our award-winning surgeons will prioritize your health and comfort as they determine the best treatment for your unique needs. How Can an Endoscopic Foraminotomy Help Relieve Pain Caused by Spinal Impingement? A minimally invasive endoscopic foraminotomy can be performed with an incision the size of a postage stamp. The procedure uses state-of-the-art specialized equipment, including a tiny camera. This approach can help minimize the damage to the muscles and nerves that need to be moved aside during a traditional surgical procedure.  During the procedure, your surgeon will remove a small portion of bone from the foramina, or nerve canal, to relieve pressure on the impinged nerve roots. Removing the cause of this uncomfortable pressure can free your pinched nerves and relieve your pain and discomfort. Your surgeon may also perform other procedures to treat your pain, including a discectomy or laminectomy. Your doctor will work with you to fully understand the cause of your pain and its impact on your life to determine the best treatment options for you.  Is an Endoscopic Foraminotomy the Right Treatment for Me? An endoscopic foraminotomy has a short recovery period and is often recommended to treat a wide range of conditions, including the following: Bulging or herniated discs Failed back surgery Spine degeneration Sciatica Radiculopathy Spondylolisthesis Spinal stenosis Spinal instability  Arthritis This is by no means an exhaustive list, and there may be other conditions an endoscopic foraminotomy can help treat. Your doctor will review your symptoms and determine the best course of action for your unique needs. You may be a candidate for an endoscopic foraminotomy if you experience the following symptoms: Pain that radiates down the arms and legs Pain that has persisted for at least three months Limited range of motion in your neck or back Weakness or tingling in your limbs Difficulty performing daily tasks  Trouble standing, sitting, or walking for extended periods Inability to achieve relief through conservative approaches Willingness to undergo physical therapy It is also essential to note that candidates for endoscopic foraminotomy must not be exceedingly overweight, as obesity increases the stress on the spine during the recovery process. Your doctor will help you fully understand the risks and benefits of your procedure to help you make the best decisions possible regarding your spinal health.  Schedule an Appointment With a First-Class Spine Specialist Today

When Is Shoulder Arthroscopy Recommended?

Shoulder pain can significantly impact your range of motion and cause pain as you go about your daily activities. A shoulder arthroscopy can help reduce pain and discomfort in your shoulder with an incision the size of a postage stamp. While a shoulder arthroscopy can treat many symptoms and conditions, you may wonder if it is the best treatment option for you. The highly-qualified spine specialists at NJ Spine & Orthopedic are dedicated to helping our patients achieve the best possible results for each of our patients. We prioritize minimally invasive methods and personalize your treatment plan to your unique symptoms and lifestyle. When you partner with one of our talented surgeons, you can have peace of mind that your spinal health is in experienced and capable hands. How Do I Know if I Need a Shoulder Arthroscopy? If your shoulder pain does not respond to conservative treatment methods such as medication and physical therapy, a shoulder arthroscopy may be a possible treatment option. A few shoulder structures a shoulder arthroscopy can address include the following: Labrum cartilage Shoulder tendons and ligaments Rotator cuff tendons Joint cartilage While treating symptoms of aging or injuries caused by manual labor are the most common reasons to seek a shoulder arthroscopy, the procedure may resolve several conditions. A few conditions a shoulder arthroscopy can treat include the following: Torn rotator cuff Bursitis Bone spurs in and around the shoulder joint Injured or torn ligaments Inflamed or loose cartilage Labral tears Shoulder dislocation Although shoulder arthroscopy is a popular treatment for many shoulder conditions, specific treatments such as full shoulder replacement are only available through traditional, open surgery. Your doctor will review your unique case to determine the cause of your pain and whether shoulder arthroscopy is right for you.  What Are the Benefits of a Shoulder Arthroscopy? Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure requiring a small incision and promoting faster recovery. A few benefits of this procedure over an open shoulder surgery include the following: Minimal scarring No overnight hospital stays Quicker recovery periods Symptom relief Minimal postoperative pain Improved range of motion Reduced risk of infections or other surgical complications During your procedure, your shoulder will be inflated with fluid injections to make it easier for your surgeon to maneuver and see the problem areas. Then your surgeon will make a small incision to insert a tiny camera known as an arthroscope. Using this camera to see the injury, your surgeon will use small, specialized implements to repair any affected structures. This approach is less painful and allows patients to recover quickly after the surgery. At NJ Spine & Orthopedic, our surgeons will get to know you and your needs to determine the best path to treat your individual symptoms.  Discuss Your Treatment Options With a Skilled Spine Specialist If you are living with debilitating shoulder pain, do not hesitate to contact the talented spine specialists at NJ Spine & Orthopedic.

Dr. Scott Katzman Lawsuit: vs. Rediron Fabrication: Dr. Katzman Fighting for his Patients

The medical field and legal system are two vital parts of society, and they sometimes collide for people who must deal with spine or orthopedic surgery. When people are injured through no fault of their own and need surgery as a result, some may find themselves struggling with a lawsuit and medical issues. Dr. Scott Katzman has lawsuit experience and has been called upon multiple times by patients who need his help. He believes in being an advocate for his patients by assisting them as they seek the compensation they deserve for serious injuries.   Why Would a Patient Need Dr. Scott Katzman for Lawsuit Help?   If a patient suffers a wrongful injury because of another person’s negligence, the victim may have grounds for a lawsuit. For example, if a person is driving home and is struck by a drunk driver who ran a red light, the drunk driver may be liable for the injuries the victim sustains. While some people are fortunate enough to walk away from accidents with minor injuries, others may have more serious injuries, permanent disabilities or even paralysis. In addition to auto accidents, there are other possible causes for such injuries. For instance, unsafe work premises, construction sites, and many other places can present injury risks.   Some people suffer spinal injuries like fractures or herniated discs from accidents, and some people require surgery. When a person must work with an attorney to file a personal injury lawsuit against the responsible party, the legal team works with medical professionals. Attorneys need expert opinions and assessments of medical professionals to show the extent of a patient’s injuries, prognosis, and more. To better understand this, consider an example of two patients working with Dr. Scott Katzman for lawsuit help.   Example Case: Katzman v. Rediron Fabrication Inc   In this case, Dr. Katzman helped patients who were referred to him by an attorney. The two individuals had been injured in a vehicle accident that involved a truck driven by an employee of Rediron Fabrication. Based on the spinal injuries sustained by the patients and the effects they experienced, discectomies were necessary. A discectomy is a procedure that involves removing a damaged portion of a disc when the soft center is pushing through the lining. This procedure is commonly used to treat weakness or pain in parts of the body from a compressed nerve. The procedure, which may be open or minimally invasive based on different factors, can have several benefits. It may help restore normal functions like sitting and standing. Also, it may improve strength or mobility and decrease pain.   The summary of this case shows how hard defendants and their legal representatives often try to avoid financial responsibility to injured plaintiffs. It also demonstrates how they often try to discredit medical professionals by questioning their motives and abilities or attempt to discredit the legitimacy of surgical interventions that are performed for the purpose of improving a patient’s abilities or quality of life.

Why Does Spinal Instability Occur?

A healthy and happy spine connects, protects, and supports the body and internal organs. Spinal instability, also known as lumbar instability, is when the spinal column cannot maintain its normal configuration under normal conditions. When your spine cannot hold together the ligaments, discs, muscles, and bones, your body will slowly lose its ability to perform essential functions. With an unstable spine, your health and lifestyle are at serious risk. Enjoying time with family, performing work tasks, and simply walking around the house can be challenging with an unstable spine. There are several reasons why spinal instability occurs. To receive an accurate diagnosis, speak with a board-certified orthopedic specialist. Causes of Spinal Instability The spine is a collection of bones, muscles, and nerves all working together to keep the structure of your body. With multiple sections of the spine in charge of different functions, the injuries and severity of the instability depend on the location. There are several causes of instability in the spine, including: Age-related degeneration External trauma or fracture of the spine Metastatic tumors in the spine Scoliosis Spondylolisthesis Congenital defects in the spinal cord Poor lifting techniques Disorders of the connective tissues Degenerative Disc Disease While some of the causes result from injuries and activities, age and trauma are serious factors in spinal instability. Discuss with your doctor the cause of your spine’s instability and how we may be able to treat your condition and provide you with life-changing pain relief.  Treatment Options for Spinal Instability An orthopedic specialist will observe measurable factors and symptoms to determine how your spine is functioning and its health. Once they’ve come to an objective answer and determined your spine’s instability, they will discuss your options for relieving pain and recovering your spine’s stability.  Below are a few of the many treatment options available to you: Anti-inflammatory medicines and medical-grade painkillers Physical therapy and muscle-strengthening exercises Microdiscectomy Spinal Fusion Over-exertion, strain, sudden movements, and staying in one continuous position may gradually deteriorate the lumbar muscles and produce unhealthy habits that progress the disease. After your doctor evaluates your condition and provides a diagnosis, you can discuss your next steps and path to recovery.  When to Speak With an Orthopedic Specialist While many may dismiss back pain as simply aches and pains, there’s often an underlying reason for severe back and spine pain. In some cases, you may feel tingling and numbness throughout your arms or legs, have difficulty controlling your bowel movements, and suffer from severe stiffness. Your orthopedic specialist will be able to communicate your diagnosis, answer any questions about your condition, and provide you with treatment options that fit your needs. When you start feeling extreme pain or any of the issues mentioned above, contact an orthopedic specialist.  Contact NJ Spine & Orthopedic for Board-Certified Orthopedic Specialists Spinal instability impacts your health, well-being, and causes severe pain. Don’t wait for your condition to become unbearable before contacting our NJ Spine & Orthopedic team. We understand the challenges you face with

What Are the Risks of Spinal Cord Stimulation?

Orthopedic specialists use spinal cord stimulators to treat individuals with severe, chronic pain from various conditions. The small device sends mild electrical impulses to the spinal cord, replacing pain signals with a mild tingling feeling. While the medical device does not eliminate the pain, it helps those suffering manage and participate in activities they once loved. Most of those who qualify for spinal cord stimulation (SCS) have had other surgical procedures administered and still suffer from chronic pain. Just like with other surgeries, the spinal cord stimulation procedure has risks. Before you choose your medical treatment option, you will want to speak with your orthopedic specialist about your condition and options before choosing this method of pain management. What Are the Risks of Spinal Cord Stimulation? Due to the potential risks, receiving spinal cord stimulators is not a first-line treatment option. While considering the procedure, you will want to be fully aware of the potential dangers.  Infection Infection is a common and dangerous risk with any surgery—including the spinal cord stimulation procedure. Because a medical device is inside your body, there is a slight risk of infection around the implanted hardware. In the case of infection, you may require surgery or removal of the device, depending on the infection’s severity.  Loss of Pain Relief Depending on the type of stimulator and its location, there is a risk of gradually losing pain relief. The stimulators deliberately replace the pain signals with a tingling or numbing feeling, which can target specific sections of pain. Speak with your orthopedic specialist about this risk and the severity of your pain. Leads Malfunctioning or Breaking The spinal cord stimulator delivers stimulation through leads or insulated wires adjacent to the spine. When we move our body, our spine’s vertebrae and the surrounding intricate connective tissue bend and flex. Sometimes, the leads cannot move with our body and may break or malfunction. Leads Moving Out of Position While less common now than in previous years, there is still a risk of leads moving out of position and requiring surgery to fix. Due to special new devices and components within the stimulator, the risk is significantly lower. However, speak with your orthopedic specialist about the potential risk and any of your concerns.  Malfunction or Failing Pulse Generator The device relies on a pulse generator to stimulate the spine with mild electrical pulses. The pulse generator has a lifespan and runs off batteries which typically need replacing after a few years. If there’s an issue with the battery or the generator fails and needs repairing, the process may involve surgery. It’s important to remember and understand that any surgical procedure comes with risks. If you are eligible to receive a spinal cord stimulator and wish to learn more about the potential risks and benefits, speak with an orthopedic specialist who may analyze your condition and provide objective and honest information.  Find a Board-Certified Orthopedic Specialist at NJ Spine & Orthopedic Today Pain caused by the spine is challenging and

An Overview of a Shoulder Arthroscopy Procedure

Individuals with chronic shoulder pain often experience difficulty moving their arms, lifting objects, or going about their day without experiencing pain. Fortunately, a minimally invasive procedure known as shoulder arthroscopy can help relieve shoulder pain in many patients and improve their quality of life. If you suffer from chronic shoulder pain, you may wonder what the procedure entails and if it is the best fit for you. At NJ Spine & Orthopedic, our board-certified medical professionals are ready to provide you with the highest level of care as we treat your pain. We will work with you to understand your injury and its impact on your life as we determine the best treatment plan for your unique needs. When you trust us with your spinal health, you can have peace of mind that your treatment is in compassionate and experienced hands. Is a Shoulder Arthroscopy the Best Treatment for Me? A shoulder arthroscopy can treat various shoulder conditions, including rotator cuff damage and damaged cartilage. This minimally invasive procedure is typically performed as an outpatient surgery and promotes faster recovery. Additionally, the incisions required are no larger than a postage stamp, and patients often experience minimal scarring, if any.  While our spine specialists prioritize conservative treatments before recommending surgery, a shoulder arthroscopy may be the best treatment for you if your pain has not responded to medication or physical therapy. How Is a Shoulder Arthroscopy Performed? On the day of your surgery, you will be placed in a reclining position or laid on your side so your surgeon can easily access the affected area. After positioning, the surgical team will remove any hair from the site and clean your shoulder with an antiseptic solution. They will cover the area with sterile drapes and place your forearm in a stabilizer to ensure it does not move during the procedure. The Operation Then, your surgeon will inject fluid into your shoulder to inflate the area. Inflating the joint will make the structures of your shoulder more visible and easier to access. After your shoulder is inflated, your surgeon will make a small incision for the tiny camera known as the arthroscope. Fluid flows through the arthroscope to ensure your surgeon’s view remains clear and to control bleeding. Your surgeon will insert the arthroscope into the incision and search for the damage.  When your surgeon locates the damaged area, they insert tiny implements into a separate incision to treat the issue. Your surgeon will use specialized surgical tools designed for the delicate work on your joint and surrounding tissue. Once your surgeon has treated the problem, they will remove the arthroscope and other surgical implements and close your incisions with stitches or bandages.  Post-Operation While a shoulder arthroscopy has a quicker recovery period than open shoulder surgery, it may take several weeks to fully recover. During this time, it is essential to prioritize rest and consistency with medication to alleviate your symptoms. As you regain your strength and mobility, your doctor will devise

Disc Replacement with the M6-C Artificial Disc

Neck pain is one of the most common health issues, but neck pain can keep you from living your daily life when it gets severe enough. A cervical injury or illness can create a range of issues, from migraines to loss of mobility. One of the most common areas of neck pain involves the C6 spinal disc, which can be significantly affected by poor posture, injuries and other trauma. There is also a genetic element to issues with the C6 disc; If you have family who suffers from herniated, bulging, or degenerative discs, you could be predisposed to spine pain. If you are suffering from neck pain, you are not alone—one in two people will experience neck pain over their lifespans. Cervical disc replacement is one of the most advanced and successful treatments for neck pain and, for more severe cases, the M6-C artificial disc replacement offers an alternative to more invasive surgeries. What is an M6-C Artificial Disc Replacement? There are seven vertebrae in your cervical spine, which are all responsible for different actions within the upper body. The discs act like cushions that separate and protect the vertebrae, allowing you to move freely. The C6 vertebrae work alongside other cervical vertebrae to control deep tendon reflexes in arm muscles and extension and flexion in the elbow and wrist. If your C6 disc is injured or diseased, this means you can suffer from a variety of debilitating symptoms, including but not limited to: Numbness, burning or tingling in the arms Neck pain that extends to the shoulder, arm or fingers Increased pain when bending or turning the neck Weakness in the upper extremities Vision problems Surgery to replace the disc causing these symptoms may be the best option when more conservative treatment methods are unsuccessful. During a disc replacement, the surgeon will make an incision smaller than a postage stamp on the front or side of the neck after a patient has been given anesthesia. They will then remove the damaged or diseased disc and place an artificial disc into the space. Most patients are discharged the same day or the day after surgery. This revolutionary method is a promising alternative to other techniques, such as spinal fusion, due to the following aspects: Less bleeding and inflammation Less stress on other vertebrae Increased mobility Faster recovery Lower risk of infection Patients undergoing an M6-C artificial disc replacement surgery can return to work in as little as one week. Studies have also found that patients with an M6-C disc replacement retain more normal neck mobility.   How Does the M6-C Artificial Disc Replacement Reduce Pain? The M6-C is truly cutting-edge technology. Unlike other more invasive procedures, an artificial disc replacement reserves muscle function. Due to the small incision size, the surgeon does not have to move as much muscle to reach the affected area. The M6-C also acts as an internal brace, so an external brace is unnecessary, although most patients find that it improves their pain for up to

Is Sacroiliac Joint Fusion a Major Surgery?

If you suffer from sacroiliac (SI) joint pain, you are not alone. Of those who experience chronic local back pain, 15 to 30% have an issue with their SI joint. While this condition can be treated with non-surgical methods, some serious cases may require sacroiliac joint fusion, a minimally-invasive surgery that helps improve stability in the SI joint. If you need this surgery, you may worry about the procedure, pain, and recovery. Fortunately, sacroiliac joint fusion is not a major surgery and has a quick recovery time. If you have lower back pain, it’s crucial to have a trusted professional supporting you through the treatment process. At NJ Spine & Orthopedic, we take a patient-first approach and create customized plans based on your health history. Our professional team also tries every method to alleviate your pain before deciding on surgery. If you need sacroiliac joint fusion, we are here to answer all your questions and let you know what to expect. We support you before, during, and after treatment, so you never feel alone. What Is Sacroiliac Joint Fusion? SI joint fusion is a short procedure that helps relieve lower back pain by stopping movement in the area. Surgeons do this by making a small incision and fusing the two bones that make up the SI joint with screws, rods, or bone grafts. The details of this procedure include: You receive general anesthesia for this procedure, so you have a painless experience. Once under anesthesia, the surgeon makes a small incision in your lower back and moves the muscle aside gently. We use a drill to make a small hole in the ilium to access the SI joint. Your surgeon clears the ligaments and muscles from the SI joint and places bone grafts and implants across it to encourage bone growth. We put the muscles back in place and close the incision. SI joint fusion is an outpatient surgery, meaning you get to go home the same day. During the recovery process, you can expect to take pain medications, attend physical therapy, and return to work and other activities in a few weeks. However, the fusion itself can take up to six months to complete. Who May Qualify for Sacroiliac Joint Fusion Surgery? When treating SI joint pain, we try every non-surgical method, including rest, ice, and cortisone injections, before trying surgery. If you meet the following criteria, you may be an ideal candidate for SI joint fusion: You received a sacroiliitis or SI joint disruption diagnosis You have had positive results from SI joint injections No other non-surgical options have caused long-term relief We carefully examine your SI joint’s condition and physical health before determining if you qualify for the surgery to ensure it is the right solution. Our supportive team strives to provide a stress-free experience, so you can get back to your life and activities you enjoy.

Does Age Matter in Hip Arthroscopy Outcomes

If you experience hip pain, your doctor may recommend hip arthroscopy, a minimally-invasive procedure that allows the surgeon to reshape and stabilize the hip joint without fully exposing it. However, this procedure is not for everyone. Depending on your age and the severity of your hip condition, you may require different forms of treatment. Our accredited and board-certified surgeons at NJ Spine & Orthopedic can help determine if hip arthroscopy is right for you. Our caring team always puts your health and comfort first. We assess all treatment options based on your condition, needs, and history. With our attentive and detailed evaluations, you will receive the care and attention you deserve. We dedicate ourselves to achieving the best results with our state-of-the-art technology and methodologies, allowing faster recovery times and a quicker return to work and other activities. Our compassionate team understands that getting a procedure like hip arthroscopy can be daunting, so we are here to answer all your questions and give a stress-free experience. How Can Age Affect Your Hip Arthroscopy Treatment? When considering hip arthroscopy, you may wonder if you are too old to receive the treatment or if your age could impact the procedure’s outcome. Typically, age can affect the following aspect of the hip arthroscopy process: Qualification Hip arthroscopy is a minimally-invasive way to treat conditions like femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and hip impingement syndrome, but not all patients qualify for the surgery. One of the factors we consider when determining if the procedure is right for you is your age. Candidates for hip arthroscopy range from those in their late teens to adults in their 50s and 60s. Patients in this age range typically have less tissue surrounding the hip joint, making it easier to access during the procedure. While you may receive hip arthroscopy if you are older, we cannot perform the surgery on those with arthritis, which often occurs in older patients. However, if you show minimal signs of arthritis and have had little success with other hip pain treatments, hip arthroscopy may be the solution. Ultimately, age is one of many factors we consider when creating your treatment plan, but it is not the deciding one. We comprehensively evaluate your hip’s condition and overall health to ensure you receive the best treatment tailored to your needs. Recovery As you age, your body’s immune system slows down and takes longer to recover. This could increase your risk of complications after the surgery and the time it takes for your body to heal. The hip arthroscopy process affects every patient of all ages differently, so we carefully evaluate your risk of complications before the procedure to ensure a smooth, simple recovery. Schedule a Free Consultation With NJ Spine & Orthopedic to Discuss Hip Arthroscopy Hip issues like labral tears and bone cysts can make daily tasks like walking and sitting difficult and painful. If this is the case for you, you may not know what treatment you need based on your age, condition, and

How Can Spinal Instability be Corrected?

Your spine is the cornerstone of your body and helps support your bones, muscles, and organs. When your spine cannot maintain its normal shape, you may experience severe pain as your body struggles to compensate for your spine’s instability. Individuals suffering from spinal instability often experience difficulty completing daily tasks and enjoying their hobbies and interests. Unfortunately, even simple actions like laughing can cause flare-ups. If you suffer from spinal instability in New Jersey, you deserve the best possible treatment for your injury.

Conservative Treatment Options for Spinal Instability While mild cases of spinal instability may be treated with conservative treatments, more severe cases may require surgical intervention. Our highly-qualified doctors and surgeons will tailor their approach to your individual needs. A few conservative treatment options for spinal instability include: Activity modifications: In mild cases, avoiding the movements and activities that cause you pain can significantly improve your quality of life.  Medications: Over-the-counter medicines like acetaminophen or ibuprofen can help treat moderate pain. If your spinal instability is more severe, your doctor may prescribe muscle relaxants or other medications.  Physical therapy: Physical therapy is one of the most effective and common treatments for spinal instability. Strengthening your back and core can help stabilize your spine. Injections: Corticosteroid shots can help reduce pain and inflammation caused by spinal instability. While injections are only a short-term solution, they can provide relief for up to one year.  At NJ Spine & Orthopedic, our doctors specialize in a wide range of state-of-the-art treatment options to address the cause of your pain. Surgical Options for Spinal Instability Surgical treatment may be necessary when a conservative approach is not enough to relieve your symptoms. Our surgeons offer minimally invasive treatments with incisions no larger than a postage stamp. Two surgical treatments your doctor may recommend include: Spinal fusion surgery: By fusing two vertebrae, your surgeon can stabilize your spine and reduce the pain in worn joints. This treatment can balance your spinal column and relieve your symptoms. Microdiscectomy: Your surgeon can remove the disc that is irritating the nerve. This gentle and precise surgery can help relieve pain with a minimal recovery time.  The skilled spine specialists at NJ Spine & Orthopedic use innovative and minimally invasive procedures to prioritize your comfort.
