EDISCSCULPTFor sufferers of chronic back pain, effective surgery can be life-changing. However, back surgery, like any surgery, is a serious procedure, and you should take care to find the best physician possible if you are considering this type of surgery.
Back Surgery Basics
Not everyone who suffers from back pain is a candidate for surgery. To be a candidate, patients must experience significant, chronic pain which has failed to respond to other treatments. They may also display other symptoms, such as muscle weakness and numbness or tingling in the extremities. Common conditions which can be treated by surgery include fractured vertebrae, bulging or herniated discs, and spinal arthritis. A few serious conditions, such as spinal tumors, often require surgery by a specialist.
After a doctor tells you that you are a candidate for spine surgery, the next step is to choose the type of procedure you'll undergo. For decades, the only option in this regard was invasive open back surgery. Now, there is another option: laser spine surgery. This procedure is minimally invasive, with only a fraction of the healing time and risk of infection. It can be performed in an outpatient setting under only local anesthesia.
