Oh, my aching back! Back pain is a common condition, affecting up to 8 out of 10 people at some point. That’s not surprising when you consider the complicated structure of the lower spine, which consists of five vertebrae and other tissues that support your back. Ruptured disks, spinal canal narrowing and spinal instability are just a few things that can go wrong with the spine, leading to back and sometimes leg pain. Spine problems aren’t just limited to the lower back. Diseases and injuries can trigger neck pain, too, when they occur in the neck area of the spine. Feel whole again Texas Health Huguley offers solutions for pain, which doesn’t always mean surgery and downtime. In fact, many people find relief through physical therapy, medications or injections. “There are many treatment options available, and those are individually tailored to our patients’ unique needs and recovery goals,” says Maliah Kelley, MSN, RN, Orthopedics/ Spine Service Line Manager at Texas Health Huguley. If surgery is the best approach to your back or spine problem, you’ll be glad to know Texas Health Huguley is home to traditional and minimally invasive spine surgeries to help you find relief. More advanced procedures In addition to an alreadyimpressive range of current capabilities, the hospital recently started offering robotic and endoscopic spine procedures. Endoscopic spine surgery uses a tiny camera (scope) and very small instruments and incisions—much like arthroscopic hip and knee procedures, says Orthopedic Spine Surgeon Jarren Section, MD. Robotic spine surgery assists the surgeon in creating special surgical plans that allow for highly accurate placement of spine hardware. Less muscle and tissue are cut or separated with robotic spine surgery, “which decreases the overall post-surgery pain associated with the procedure,” Dr. Section says.
