Frequently Asked Questions About Spine & Upper Extremity Procedures
Minimally invasive spine surgery can treat conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, and sciatica. These procedures involve smaller incisions and less tissue disruption, leading to faster recovery and reduced postoperative pain. By addressing the root cause of the pain, these surgeries restore mobility and improve the patient’s quality of life.
Determining the best treatment depends on the severity of your symptoms, the specific condition, and how it affects your daily life. Our specialists conduct a thorough evaluation, including physical exams and imaging tests, to recommend the most appropriate treatment. Non-surgical options are usually explored first, with surgery considered if these treatments fail to provide relief.
Recovery times can vary based on the specific procedure and individual patient factors. Generally, patients can expect a shorter recovery period compared to traditional open surgeries, often returning to normal activities within a few weeks. Physical therapy is recommended to aid recovery and enhance the overall outcome.
Spinal injections are typically well-tolerated and involve minimal discomfort. To ensure accuracy, the procedure is performed under imaging guidance. Most patients experience only mild discomfort during the injection, followed by significant pain relief as the medication takes effect. Local anesthetics are used to numb the injection site.
