Spine Operations

Spinal surgery is sometimes necessary after a sudden or slow-developing injury. Some operations help correct posture or an anatomical lesion when there is little to no pain. When there is pain such as in the case of a herniated or torn disc, the surgery will help correct the problem and reduce the pain.

Orthopedic surgeons conduct these operations. Recovery times vary based on the type of back problem, the complexity of the surgery, and other individual health issues.

If you have been experiencing chronic back pain, you may or may not need surgery. Fortunately, many people who have back pain are able to alleviate it with physical therapy, corrective footwear, weight loss, or other steps.

Our specialists conduct an evaluation and order X-rays or imaging tests to determine the cause of the pain.

If surgery is needed for your injury or back problem, an orthopedic surgeon will discuss your options with you.

You may be at risk for developing various back problems that require surgery even if there are no severe symptoms yet.

These are some risk factors:

Improper posture
Sedentary lifestyle
Obesity
Improper foot support
Poor posture
Back injuries
Some illnesses or diseases
Smoking
Psychological conditions
Aging

Are You At Risk?

If you are at risk, talk to an orthopedic specialist about ways to reduce or eliminate your risks. Everything from proper diet and exercise to choosing the right mattress for back support can help.
