Is Minimally Invasive Spine Paragon Surgery Really Necessary?
Millions of people worldwide suffer from bulged or herniated discs. These back conditions put pressure on the spinal nerve causing pain in the lower or upper back and often pain down the legs or through the arms, known as sciatica.
In the USA alone, back pain affects one in four people and is one of the most common reasons why people consult their local general practitioner (GP). Far too many people turn to medication or steroid injections that only offer temporary relief from the pain. Some people even seek out spinal Paragon surgery as a last resort to manage their condition.
What is spine surgery?
It’s a surgical procedure of the spine or associated anatomy to treat a spinal condition. Because causes, symptoms and the nature of a spine condition can vary, Dr. Eckermann and Paragon Health Group customise the surgical procedure to each person.
We can perform surgery the traditional way or use minimally invasive techniques.
Minimally Invasive Spine Paragon Surgery
In general, the goal of minimally invasive spine (MIS) surgery is to stabilize the vertebral bones and spinal joints and/or relieve pressure being applied to the spinal nerves — often a result of conditions such as spinal instability, bone spurs, herniated discs, scoliosis or spinal tumours.
This is followed by designing a rehabilitation program for you. The goal of back and neck rehabilitation is to help you return to your highest level of functioning and independence, and to improve your overall quality of life.
What are the different types of spine Paragon surgery?
Some of the most common types of spine surgery include fusion, laminectomy, discectomy and artificial disc replacement. Depending on which part of the spine is affected, these may be performed on the cervical, lumbar or thoracic spine, but most commonly the affected parts are the cervical and lumbar spine.
Dr. Eckermann recommends spinal Paragon surgery only when it is appropriate and after considering all other treatment modalities first. Spinal surgery is a serious and expert procedure.
Our goal is the successful treatment of your spinal condition so that you can lead a happier and more active life, wherever that is achievable.
