Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on Spine Disorders Treatment

Common symptoms include back pain, neck pain, numbness or tingling in the arms or legs, weakness, and difficulty walking or standing. If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s important to seek medical advice.

Minimally invasive spine surgery involves smaller incisions, less muscle damage, and quicker recovery times compared to traditional open surgery. It is used to treat various spine conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and more.

Non-surgical treatments include physical therapy, pain management injections, chiropractic care, spinal decompression therapy, and lifestyle modifications. Your doctor will work with you to develop a comprehensive pain management plan.

Spine surgery is usually considered when conservative treatments have failed to relieve symptoms, or when there is significant neurological impairment. Your spine specialist will evaluate your condition and recommend the best course of action.

Spinal fusion is a surgical procedure to join two or more vertebrae, eliminating motion between them to reduce pain and stabilize the spine. It is often performed for conditions like spinal instability, severe arthritis, or scoliosis.

Recovery time varies depending on the type of surgery and the patient’s overall health. Minimally invasive procedures generally have shorter recovery times, while more complex surgeries may require several weeks to months of rehabilitation.

Preventive measures include maintaining a healthy weight, staying active, practicing good posture, using proper body mechanics when lifting, and avoiding smoking. Regular exercise and stretching can also help keep your spine healthy.
