If you have persistent back pain, pain that lasts more than three months and you have tried the conservative treatment approach, it may be time for more aggressive treatments. Thanks to modern medicine your doctor has a number of possible solutions to relieve your pain. Here are five of the more common ones.
1. A procedure called "Pertutaneous Laser Disc Decompression" involves using a laser beam to vaporize the part of the disc that is bulging and pressing on a nerve.
2. Using a thin flexible fiber wire called myeloscope your doctor can inserts this into the damaged area and injects a solution that dissolves scar tissue relieving pressure on the nerve.
3. A spine probe can be inserted to skrink the perturbing disc.
4. A small cage can be placed in the spine to repair a torn disc. Eventually bone will grow around it.
5. A doctor can maneuver a tiny camera and instruments through small incisions to see and repair damaged discs.
It is really pretty amazing the solutions that your physician has at his disposal. Most of the time back surgery can be performed with just a small incision and as an outpatient. However even those these procedures are effective and relatively painless, it is still surgery with all the risk that an operation involves. It is best to first try non-invasive treatments that for most people are the best solution for their sore back.
There are many programs out there claiming to fix your bad back. One of the top rated programs is The Lose The Back Pain System developed by The Healthy Back Institute.
