WHAT IS A MINIMALLY INVASIVE SPINE SURGERY?

Minimally invasive spine surgeries are wonderful procedures that can be performed to reduce pain and other negative symptoms surrounding the spine. These procedures can be performed with lasers and precise tools by a skilled and experienced surgeon for a variety of conditions. This kind of procedure often only requires a small incision, normally less than 1.5 inches long on the affected area.

These procedures often result in very little or no scarring, fast pain relief, and speedy recovery. There are many benefits to getting minimally invasive spine surgeries when your doctor recommends one, so we recommend you speak with a spinal specialist for more information about your treatment options. Many conservative surgeries can be used to treat different conditions, and they can also be supplemented by physical therapies or medications.

 

Common Causes of Back Pain

Often, back pain is complex, and it can be challenging to pinpoint the specific cause of pain without a medical professional. Back pain can be caused by a variety of factors and what causes pain for one person may cause minor symptoms in another. Usually, pain arises due to damage to your back’s structural components, such as the discs, vertebrae, tendons, and muscles.

Additionally, both serious injuries and small, awkward movements can also cause back pain. In addition to injuries, health factors such as stress, obesity, and other lifestyle choices can lead to chronic back pain. Some of the most common underlying causes of back pain include:

  • Pinched nerves from bone spurs or spinal stenosis
  • Bulging, degenerated, or herniated discs
  • Osteoarthritis in the spine or joints
  • Torn ligaments or tendons, like rotator cuff tendinitis
  • Neck and back injuries, such as whiplash
  • Failed neck or back surgery
  • Spinal stenosis
  • Degenerative disc disease

The best way to get to the root of your pain is to work with a skilled spine expert.

When Should I Seek Medical Attention for My Back Pain?

Back pain can be mild or severe. Some people will experience minor symptoms, such as muscle aches, while others may experience severe pain in a specific region of their back. Most people’s back pain will resolve with rest or conservative methods. However, in other cases, back pain can persist for weeks or months. If your pain does not subside, you should seek medical attention. Additionally, see a spine doctor when your pain:

  • Does not improve with rest and continues to cause severe discomfort
  • Causes feelings of numbness or tingling in your legs
  • Is accompanied by a fever, bladder problems, or unexplained weight loss
  • Is the result of a serious fall or injury, such as a car accident
