Nowadays, symptoms related to spine do not occur only in the elderly anymore. Due to changing lifestyles in the current society, spinal abnormalities can happen to everyone’s lives. For example, working adults tend to work out more regularly, yet sometimes improperly. Consequently, spinal abnormalities may also lead to back pain or other commonly found symptoms such as Lumbar radiculopathy, leg weakness or numbness while standing up or walking, which affect the patient’s work- and personal life.

Spinal treatments

In order to choose an appropriate spinal treatment, the surgeon will diagnose the patient’s symptoms and consider their conditions as well as severity. There are 2 types of methods for spinal treatments as follows:

Non-surgical spinal treatments

Don’t worry that back pain or diseases will always lead to back surgery. There are spinal abnormalities which do not need surgery according to the patient’s conditions and severity. Examples of non-surgical spinal treatments are as follows:

Epidural steroid injection: the patient will be administered with steroid at a particular area of the compressed spinal nerve. The medication will minimize nerve inflammation, radiated pain, and numbness caused by nerve compression. This spinal treatment is recommended for patients with pain as the only symptom, meaning that they have no weakness or abnormalities in excretory system, and those with considerable pre-existing medical conditions
Wearing a back support brace: this treatment will reduce back mobility and stabilize it
Prescribing calcium supplements: the doctor may prescribe osteoporosis patients calcium supplements to strengthen their bones

Surgical spinal treatments

If the methods mentioned above do not alleviate the symptoms, the doctor might consider surgery as the better solution. However, modern surgical technologies are able to facilitate patients with small surgical wounds, less pain, and quick recovery. Examples of surgical spinal treatments are as follows:

Endoscopic Surgery: this surgical technique is developed with the aim of being minimally invasive. That means the patient’s wound is smaller, reducing recovery time for spinal surgery and complications. To perform this surgery, pen-like equipment with miniscule camera is used to monitor inside the patient’s body. This minimally invasive spine surgery is considered for conditions such as Spinal stenosis which do not require open surgery
Robot-Assisted Surgery is a surgical technology which helps the surgeons increase accuracy of spinal surgery. This surgery utilizes a concept similar to Robotic-Assisted Total Knee Replacement, with a different shape of equipment according to the usage.
Vertebroplasty: this method is better at quick pain alleviation and bone compression fracture prevention
Internal Fixation: This treatment is commonly chosen for cases of bone compression and fracture or Kyphosis and is able to perform as a minimally invasive spine surgery.
