Spine Surgery
Back pain affects 80 percent of Americans at some point during their lifetime. Debilitating back pain can result from injury, disorder, or disease. Compression and degeneration of the discs and vertebra making up the spinal column affects millions of patients each year.
Common symptoms of spinal nerve compression damage and bulging discs may include numbness, tingling, weakness, and radiating pain. Treatment options may include physical therapy, manipulation, pain management, injections and surgery. Surgery is often the last step for patients suffering from unresolved back pain.
