Although back pain is common symptom of spinal conditions, not all patients with back pain will need surgery. Many conditions such as low back pain or neck pain can be treated conservatively with physical therapy, home exercises, multi-modal pain medications and sometimes epidural spinal injections. Spinal surgery can be a treatment option; if the problem persists despite conservative measures or if the patient suffers from moderate to severe neurogenic pain travelling into the extremities. More serious cases involving weakness in an arm or leg due to spinal cord or nerve root compression may be candidates for surgical intervention.
Dr. Samadani is and expert in both traditional open spine surgery and in minimally invasive surgery. Traditional spine surgery involves a larger opening along the back and through back muscles to reach the vertebrae. Minimally invasive spine surgery uses small incisions and an even smaller endoscopic camera to access the vertebrae. Minimally invasive techniques are effective for certain lumbar discectomies, and laminectomies but not for all types of spinal conditions.
