  1. WHEN TO GO TO A SPINAL ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON DALLAS WHEN TO GO TO A SPINAL ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON DALLAS Injury to the lower back otherwise known as spinal injury is a deadly condition which many people considered as the gravest among orthopedic injuries. Spine supports the body frame and allows upright standing position of individuals. It is a delicate cord running from the back of the neck down to the lower back area and connected to other segments of the body. Spine is a complex anatomical frame made up of muscle, bones, ligaments, nerves, tendons, joints and a long cord known as the spinal cord – a fragile long

The damage of the spinal cord can prevent the patients from moving from one place to the other while in some cases can make them bed-ridden for the rest of their life. Spinal orthopedic surgeons spend four or five years of surgical training program in a medical school and during which period they gather lots of knowledge in treating several degrees of spine injuries. A highly qualified orthopedic surgeon has the skill to treat conditions like fractures of the spine, bone tumor, disc degenerations, disc herniations, scoliosis, deformation of skeleton etc. Breaking of long bone during accident also requires the services of an expert either to replace the joints or fix the dislocate joints – orthopedic surgeons specialize in spinal treatment by undergoing rigorous training program including a stint in residency where they acquired practical training.
