Spine. Treatment

Facet Joint Syndrome indicates the patients normally have arthritis type of pain of a facet joint. So normally people do not have to be hospitalized. Pain management in an office or at home is commonly needed, but people do not need to go to the hospital for that. Read More

Recovery is a matter of days or a few weeks, depending on what surgery is done. Endoscope surgery is a 15-min surgery, maybe a few days of recovery is enough. If endoscope surgery takes a few hours even, we can do endoscopic surgeries with spinal fusions, the recovery is also a long process. It depends. Read More

Spondylolisthesis we also call spine slippage. When the spinal alignment has changed, so the spine can’t stay together perfectly. Very few people actually will need spinal surgery If Spondylolisthesis has complications already or has some instability. Alternatively, again, most people usually don’t need treatment, they need maybe physical therapy, maybe medication treatment, maybe pain management. […] Read More

Bulging disc is very common. A lot of time it is normal, it’s not a pathologic condition. Normally, a bulging disc has no symptoms, people do not need treatment. Read More

Yes. I believe so, it depends on how much of the bone was cut, how much was removed from the spine. Because both foraminotomy and laminotomy involve resection of part of a spine. If the resection is beyond the limit, like 50% of normal joints, instability will happen. Read More

It is a proven safe and effective treatment for chronic pain. One component of spinal cord stimulation is a neurostimulator that: Is a device similar to a pacemaker Is surgically implanted under […] Read More

There are many different groups focusing on several aspects of spinal cord injury research. In general, research focuses on developing therapies that protect the spinal cord cells from the injury process (cellular protection), improving rehabilitation and recovery of function by increasing plasticity (connections), promoting repair and regeneration of damaged spinal cord tissue, understanding the causes […] Read More

Schwann cells, the cells of the peripheral nerve that produce myelin, play an important role in the repair of the injured peripheral nerve by providing both physical and trophic support. Indeed, it is thought that Schwann cells are a key to the ability of the peripheral nerve to repair to a much greater extent after […] Read More
