When to consider back surgery?

Our spine is one of the most important parts of the body. It supports all the movement that goes on in our bodies. While it is one of the most important structures in our bodies, it is also the most taxed since various injuries can occur from regular movement. When that happens, seeing a doctor is a must before things get worse.

Almost all of us have experienced some kind of back pain or another in our life. Many types of back issues can be very painful and cause some intense discomfort in our daily routine. Patients that have experienced this wonder what kind of treatment plan is necessary, and if surgery is in the near future. However, some back pains get better in time without surgical intervention. That is why consulting with an orthopedic doctor or a neurosurgeon is highly advisable since they are spine specialists who have seen and treated all kinds of spinal issues.

Neurosurgeons and Orthopedic Specialists

While these two have different specialties, they are both qualified to carry out spine surgeries. Neurosurgeon specialize in handling spinal surgeries, tumors, and pain management while an orthopedic doctor specializes in bones, muscles, joints and the general musculoskeletal system. In some cases neurosurgeons and orthopedists work closely together to resolve a patient’s ailments.

When considering surgery your doctor will be able to help you with your decision making process and should be able to help you choose the best options for your treatment as well as explaining the risks of each procedure. As a patient, you must remember that you are in control of how you want to proceed with treatment. So choosing the right doctor who can help keep you informed and knowledgable about how each procedure works is essential when you are considering surgery.

Back Pain Relief

Back surgery, when needed, can help bring much needed resolution to a back issue. However, there are a few tests that are used to further evaluate your candidacy for surgical intervention. Spinal instability and nerve pinching are the types of problems that can be seen on MRI scans and CT scans. If non-surgical solutions still do not help alleviate the patient’s pain, a spine specialist can determine with the assistance of imaging techniques if surgery is the next logical step in spine care.

In a medical scenario it’s always good to seek professional help when feeling chronic pain since our spine is very important for us to function in our daily life. Our center provides top of the line quality spine care and surgery. We have qualified surgeons that will be able to help in diagnosing the problem and provide the best solutions for your back pain.

Carolyn’s Testimonial

My name is Carolyn and I want to tell you my story about Laser. Several years ago, as I was getting out of a truck, my feet slipped and I landed on the pavement jerking my back in a way that I never knew existed thus causing extreme back pain.

I went to my primary care doctor due to the pain I was in. I could not put my foot on the floor. The primary care doctor sent me for x-rays. The results of the x-ray showed a nerve pressing on a disk.

My primary care doctor sent me to Shahram Rezaiamiri, a Board Certified Neurosurgeon who is located in Stockbridge, GA. Dr. Rezaiamiri talked to me about Laser being less invasive and how this may be a better plan of action for me. I have to admit I was reluctant at first but now after living with the result I’m thankful I chose Laser.

If anyone is having back pain, Laser is the only way to go and if I had to make the choice again, this is what I would choose. The recovery was 6 to 8 weeks, and I have not had back pain since my surgery.

I would not trust anyone else to surgery on my back, Dr. Rezaiamiri, knows what he is doing and is a fantastic doctor, the results I’m living with are a testimony to his great work.

If you are having back pain so severe and can no longer stand it and are not certain what you should do, Laser is the way to go. It certainly worked for me. I pray if you choose the route, that you will be pleased with the results. I know and realize that not everyone will have the same results due to the type of injury they may have, however I can honestly say I highly recommend Dr. Rezaiamiri to anyone who is in need of Laser surgery.

Thank you to Dr. Rezaiamiri for all you did to help me.

Sincerely,
Carolyn
