MICRODISCECTOMY

This procedure uses specialized instruments to remove the tiny part of the damaged disc that’s pressing against the nerves.

LAMINECTOMY

In cases where damaged vertebrae are compressing the spinal cord, a laminectomy removes a small portion of the vertebra. That allows the spinal cord to move normally.

FUSION SURGERY

When one or more cervical vertebrae are structurally compromised, a bone graft fuses the bones together, increasing your neck’s strength and stability

What Causes Back Pain?

Pain can develop anywhere along your back, but it frequently occurs in the lower back, which must support the weight of your upper body. While supporting your weight, your spine is also designed to bend and twist, a combination that makes it susceptible to injuries and degenerative changes.

When Should You See a Doctor For Back Pain?

The symptoms of back pain vary. They can be sharp, dull, stabbing, or feel like a cramp. In some cases, back pain is worse when you’re active and feels better when you lie down.

No matter what type of symptoms you experience, contact the team at South Texas Spinal Clinic when your back pain interferes with normal activity, especially if the pain doesn’t get better in a few weeks or if you have a fever or unexpected weight loss as well.
