Manhattan Back Surgery and Pain Center - Expert Surgeon Dr. Sukdeb Datta

If you suffer from spine pain, finding effective treatment is essential. Depending on the nature of the condition, treatment may consist of surgical or non-surgical methods. Below, we will take a look at the basics of the treatment of spine pain, as well as where you can find the best back surgery and pain center in Manhattan.

Common Back Problems

Almost everyone experiences back pain from time to time, but most cases are mild and will resolve on their own. If pain persists, is severe, or is accompanied by muscle weakness or numbness in the legs or arms, then there may be an underlying problem. Back problems may affect spinal alignment, the vertebrae, the discs, or the spinal cord. 

Some common back problems include: 

• Herniated discs
• Bulging discs
• Spinal stenosis
• Foraminal stenosis 
• Bone spurs
• Spinal arthritis
• Spondylolisthesis

About Pain Medicine

Although an enormous amount of medical conditions can cause pain, the treatment of chronic pain is both unique and ill-understood. Treating the underlying cause of pain is important, but it is equally important to treat the pain immediately. 

Most people with chronic pain are best served by treatment from a pain expert who also has experience in the treatment of their condition. Therefore, back pain patients should look for a doctor who specializes in the treatment of pain and spine conditions.

About Back Surgery

Sometimes back surgery is required to treat spine conditions. The good news is that many common spine conditions, including spinal stenosis, can be treated using minimally invasive methods. By using laser spine surgery, nerve stimulation, and endoscopic surgery, doctors can treat spine problems without the invasive nature of traditional spine surgery. 

Some benefits of minimally invasive back surgery are: 

• No hospital stay
• No large scar
• Lower risk of infection, bleeding, and other side effects
• Possibly lower cost
• Faster recovery
