NJ Top Spinal Surgeons

The majority people experience back pain at some point in their lives. Most of the time, this pain is caused by simple, easily solved issues such as muscle strain, and back pain will often resolve on its own with no need for medical intervention. In a minority of cases, the pain is caused by an underlying spinal condition, such as a problem with the vertebrae or the intervertebral discs.

Most of the time, spinal conditions can be treated using non-surgical treatments. Inflammation and improper back alignment play a big role in the severity of symptoms, so treating those issues is often enough to bring a long-term resolution to the symptoms of spine pain.

On the other hand, sometimes a back condition is so severe that it's clear it won't respond to conservative treatments. Other times, conservative treatments are used but make no impact on the symptoms. In such cases, spinal surgeons can help patients achieve pain relief, by actually addressing the underlying issues with the structure of the spine. There are two main options when it comes to spinal surgery:

• Laser spine surgery
  
• Traditional spine surgery
  

Traditional spine surgery is an effective form of treatment, but it is very invasive and comes with a long recovery time. For that reason, it is best saved for situations where there is no other viable treatment option. Instead, most patients can be treated using laser spine surgery, which is much less invasive because it doesn't require doctors to open up the spine to treat the issue. Patients enjoy a recovery period about a quarter that of traditional spine surgery.
