Spine
Back pain can be excruciating. Common injuries include a weakened vertebrae from osteoporosis causing fractures to occur, degenerative scoliosis (sometimes associated with back/leg pain), work-related injuries, facet disease, spondylolisthesis (slippage of one vertebrae over another), annular tear or disc disruption, degenerative disc disease, chronic and persistent low back pain and disability, and revision surgery.
Treatment may begin with pain management (epidurals and blocks), an alternative to more aggressive treatment, including surgery. The key is to find the source of the pain. Surgical procedures could include spinal fusion of two or more vertebrae, as well as minimally invasive techniques which compromise less soft tissue resulting in fewer complications, faster recovery and a higher quality of life. All treatment options are exhausted before surgery is performed.
