Relieving back pain and neck pain through advanced surgical and non-surgical procedures.
Many people experience some form of neck or back pain as they get older. What once were temporary symptoms of pain, inflammation and limited mobility often turn into a chronic condition that limit one's ability to enjoy life. Pinched nerves and bulging or herniated disks are common causes of neck or back pain, in addition to more serious conditions such as vertebrae bone spurs, spinal stenosis or spondylolisthes.
The neurosurgeons of Argires, Becker, Marotti & Westphal will properly diagnose the cause of a patient's back pain, and recommend the proper course of treatment for long-term relief from pain. Often, non-surgical procedures such as medication, physical therapy or interventional pain management can provide the type of relief a patient is looking for. Other times, cervical disk surgery such as cervical fusion, or lumbar surgery such as diskectomy, laminectomy or spinal fusion will be recommended.
