Locate A Back Surgeon NJ

For people who have been suffering from chronic back pain, getting back surgery can be life-changing. While non-surgical treatments relieve symptoms, a back surgeon can actually address the underlying issue. For example, if you have a herniated disc, non-surgical treatments will focus on reducing inflammation and increasing strength and posture, while surgery will actually remove the herniated portion of the disc.

Minimally Invasive Procedures

When you look for a back surgeon, make sure that the surgeon you choose is dedicated to using minimally invasive procedures such as laser back surgery. This procedure has several advantages of open back surgery, including:

• No large scar - only one or two small incisions are made 
• Can be performed under local anesthesia - no need to undergo general anesthesia
  
• No hospital stay - patients can return home the same day
  
• Shorter recovery time - patients can return to work in as little as a week
  
• Reduced risk of infection - since the incision is smaller and there is no hospital stay, patients are much less likely to develop an infection
  
• Reduced risk of bleeding - again, the smaller incision is associated with a much smaller chance of bleeding
  

In addition to finding a doctor who is skilled at using minimally invasive procedures, you should make sure that the doctor is equipped to treat you both during and after the surgery. Healing from chronic pain is an all-body experience, and a doctor experienced in pain management and/or pain research will be better able to help you start living pain-free. One NJ doctor who meets all of these qualifications is Dr. Sukdeb Datta, head of the Datta Endoscopic Back Surgery and Pain Center, a cutting-edge spine treatment facility.
