An Integral Paradigm To Lumbar Spine Surgery

The lower part of the spine or the lower back is known as Lumbar. Any kind of a pain in the lower back leads to a feeling of inconvenience. One cannot perform the day to day tasks with such pain in the body. It is possible to cure an initial level of pain with the help of exercises and physiotherapy. But in case the pain attains an acute level, the healing is possible only with the help of surgery. The orthopaedics take up with surgery of the spine for any concern in lumber that is referred to as Lumbar Spine Surgery.

Lumbar Fusion in Beaumont, TX

Lumbar fusion surgery is used to permanently join multiple vertebrae in your spine, thus eliminating movement between them. The fusion process involves techniques that are designed to act like the normal process when a broken bone heals. During fusion, the surgeon will place a bone-like material between the space of the two vertebrae in the spine. Screws, rods and metal plates can be used to help hold the vertebrae together, which allows them to heal into a single unit. Take the time to discuss your concerns with Spine Tech. They can work to determine what it is that seems to be the problem and help you determine an appropriate treatment plan. Working together with your provider will help you begin the path to a life free from pain and disability.
