Studies show anywhere from 60 to 80% of the population will experience neck or back pain
at some point in their lives. The pain can be caused by any number of factors.
The most serious include spinal tumors or spinal cord injuries. The most common spine
conditions and pain result from age-related natural degeneration.
When conservative therapies like pain management or physical therapy do not alleviate the pain,
many patients seek surgical intervention. Neuro spine surgery can often restore a patient’s
spine to its optimal function and return patients back to the activities they once enjoyed.
Spinal neurosurgery at Beaumont is a comprehensive service performed by experts experienced in
treating a number of spinal conditions and diagnoses, including: spinal stenosis, degenerative
disc disease, tumors, spinal cord injury and herniated discs throughout the cervical, thoracic
and lumbar spine. Whenever possible, our approach includes some
of the most cutting edge minimally invasive spine surgery procedures available. These
minimally invasive – or “endoscopic” – techniques result in less blood loss,
decreased pain after surgery, lower infection rates and a shorter hospital stay. Most patients
recovering from spinal neurosurgery now return to their normal activities within a few short
weeks as opposed to the months of recovery often required with older approaches.
After surgery, Beaumont neuro rehabilitation specialists begin working with patients to
restore strength and function, even before they leave the hospital. If necessary, these
specialists continue working closely with patients after they leave the hospital to
regain optimal movement and the ability to live as pain-free as possible.
The Beaumont spine surgery team puts patients’ needs at the forefront of all we do. Whether
it’s your neck or back, a common condition or a complex disorder, our team has the expertise
to get you back to doing what you love as quickly as possible.
