Causes of Back Pain/Spine Pain
Regenerative medicine has been shown to be a breakthrough treatment for chronic conditions and soft tissue injuries related to the back, including:
- Degenerative disc disease
- Spinal stenosis
- Torn or painful discs (herniated disc, slipped disc, ruptured disc)
- Spondylolysis
- And other degenerative problems related to the neck and spine
Is Back Surgery Necessary? No. Hereās Why.
If youāve been told back surgery or spine surgery such as spinal fusion are your only options, that may not be the case.Ā Spinal fusion surgery is a highly invasive procedure that has aĀ significant risk of complicationsĀ and low success rate. In this procedure, your back surgeon joins two adjacent vertebrae (the large bones of the spine) to form a single unit.
āAs a result, fusion has become the poster child for expensive, risky, and unnecessary back surgery.āĀ āĀ Harvard Menās Health Watch, When is back surgery the right choice?
According to Steven Atlas, an associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, āBased on the evidence, the indications for fusion are few and far between, but that doesnāt stop surgeons from doing them or patients from getting them.ā āYour pain is typically decreased by 50 percent,ā Dr. Atlas says, ābut there are very few people who really have no pain after spinal fusion. The relief may last only a few years before the condition worsens again.ā
āWhen there is pain relief, it is often limited. The pain, measured on a scale of 1 to 10, may decrease from an 8 to a 4.āĀ āĀ Harvard Menās Health Watch, When is back surgery the right choice?
If you look atĀ failed back surgery statistics, itās safe to say that surgery may not be the right solution to alleviate spine and back pain.
