When Should I Consider Spinal Surgery?
Your spine is your body’s central support system. It gives you mobility, protects your spinal cord, and connects your brain to every part of your body. When something is wrong, the pain signals that originate here can become unbearable and affect your daily routine.
Most cases of back pain resolve on their own with nonsurgical treatments. Still, if these options haven’t worked, and you’re experiencing pain, weakness, and difficulty performing basic activities such as standing or walking, you may need to consider spinal surgery as an option.
Whether it’s a herniated disc, nerve compression, or arthritis, we at the Painless Center can help you find the treatment that suits you (whether it’s spinal surgery or something less invasive)
Why Would You Need a Spinal Surgery?
Your spine consists of individual bones, known as vertebrae, which stack on top of one another to form the structure of your spine. Nestled between each vertebra is a cushion called a disc. These discs allow the vertebrae to move and bend freely, without putting pressure on the nerves along the spinal cord. However, when one of the discs starts to deteriorate, it can shift out of its place, often compressing a nerve in the spine. As a result, many experience localized and radiating pain.
What is Discectomy?
The discectomy is a minimally invasive spinal surgery that alleviates the pressure on the affected nerve. During this spinal surgery, the surgeon will carefully remove a portion of the herniated disc that is pressing on the nerve of the spinal cord. Using minimally invasive techniques, the surgeons can efficiently remove the portion of the disc that’s causing the compression without compromising the stability of your spine and relieving you from constant pain.
