A Pain in the Back
The human body is a curious thing, to say the least.
It goes through all sorts of changes, some of them good, some of them bad.
The truth is that we are all dying, some of us faster than others, and as we race
toward that inevitable conclusion, our bodies finally begin to degenerate, and as this
happens, we will need to find new ways of taking care of them.
There are numerous conditions that we will need to watch out for, especially if we
plan to remain in good shape for the foreseeable future.
What is the Spine?
The spine is a series of bones in the back, made up
of what we call vertebrae, and these work in
connection with the Spinal cords. The nerves
within the spinal cord send important messages to
your entire body, meaning if you end up with a
pinched nerve, the body will start to send
signals, which you interpret as pain. It is very
important that you do not ignore these pains, and
once you start to notice symptoms, you should get
to the doctor immediately.
The spine has a series of discs, and these are filled
with a sort of jelly. When you move, jump, or
run, these discs act as shock absorbers, ensuring
that the vertebrae never actually touch one
another. As time goes by however, these discs will
begin to break down, and you may even suffer from
what are known as pinched nerves.
The Causes of a Pinched Nerve
There are many different potential causes of a pinched nerve, generally occurring when
there is pressure placed on the nerves. This pressure may be the result performing
repetitive motions, though it is more likely the product if sitting in one place for too
long. For example, those who work in office buildings will spend a long period of time in
a single position, generally sitting down. In addition to that, there are many who sleep
in the same position each night, and this too will contribute to their nerve issues.
Throughout the body one can find several locations in which nerves travel through the
body, and they are not protected by any consequential tissue. These areas need to be
protected, but over time, compression becomes a stark reality. Pressure or
inflammation on the nerve root can cause serious pain, and it can actually effect the
foot/leg area. In the event this compression lasts for a long period of time, you will find
that the protective barrier surrounding the nerve begins to break down, and this will
cause even more pressure. If your nerves were to become scarred, their normal
functions would be interrupted significantly, making it harder for you to perform
everyday functions.
A Minimally Invasive Solution
In the past, spinal surgery was performed as what is called an ‘open surgery’, which
involved a long incision in the back. This incision allowed the surgeon to see exactly
what was inside the patient’s back, and it was much easier to see what was wrong.
Technology however has marched forward, and it is now possible to treat neck
and back conditions using minimally invasive treatment. What does this mean exactly?
-Faster Recovery Time
-Less Risk
-Faster Surgery
Minimally invasive surgery will not require the long incision, meaning a minimal amount
of pain. During the procedure, doctors use a specialized instrument to gain access to the
spine, and they can do so without the fear of causing additional injuries to the spine.
The bottom line here, is that if you were holding off on surgery for fear of the invasive
procedure, then fear no longer. You can have your surgery, and be up and about within
a few weeks, which is considerably better than the alternative.
