After developing spine-related symptoms, whether caused by injury or an underlying condition, patients can reduce how intense symptoms are by temporarily changing the way they do daily activities.
Treatments
Activity Modification
Acupuncture
Acupuncture describes a family of procedures involving the stimulation of anatomical points on the body using a variety of techniques.
Alternative Treatments
More Americans are looking beyond Western medicine to help relieve their back, neck, and spinal joint pain, including osteoarthritis of the spine.
Anterior Cervical Fusion
In cases where arm pain is caused by a cervical disc bulge or herniation or from degenerative changes producing osteophytic spurs (aka “bone spurs”), the pain is called cervical radiculopathy.
Aquatic Therapy
Aquatic Therapy is a viable option for rehabilitation of spinal issues from low back pain, degenerative disc disease, surgeries and fusions.
Artificial Disc Replacement
Replacing a damaged disc with an artificial disc can reduce pain in the neck or lower back.
Artificial Disc Replacement (ADR)
An artificial disc (also called a disc replacement, disc prosthesis or spine arthroplasty device) is a device that is implanted into the spine to imitate the functions of a normal disc (carry load and allow motion).
Bone Graft Alternatives
Bone grafts are bone that is transplanted from one area of the skeleton to another to aid in healing, strengthening or improving function.
Bone Growth Stimulation
Bone growth stimulation (BGS) is a therapy your surgeon may prescribe following a spinal fusion procedure.
Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMP)
One of the most critical components of building, healing and remodeling bone in humans is a process called osteoinduction.
