Methods for Treating Spinal Disorders With Neurosurgery in Marbella
29/03/2019There are many different treatments for spinal disorders. Our department of neurosurgery in Marbella has numerous specialist surgeons who will be able to advise you on the best course of treatment for you. The form of therapy that's most suitable for you will depend on your exact condition and its severity.
Our department of neurosurgery in Marbella split treatments into two classes - surgical and non-surgical. The type of treatment that's recommended to you will depend on the state of your overall health and the severity of your spinal condition.
Here we take a look at both the surgical and non-surgical treatments for the different spinal disorders our department of neurosurgery can treat.
1. Management of Idiopathic (Adolescent) Scoliosis
Teenagers with scoliosis will be advised on how to manage their symptoms through various management techniques based on informed decisions about your condition.
2. Transforaminal Epidural Injections Treat Leg and Back Pain
An epidural is essentially a steroid which can be injected into the lower part of the spinal cord to relieve leg and lower back pain. The injections can also help to improve mobility in certain dosages.
3. Medication and Treatment of Acute Low Back Pain
If you're suffering from acute pain in your lower back, our department of neurosurgery may recommend one or a combination of several medications to ease the pain and inflammation. As a result, you should also be able to move more freely.
4. Spinal Cord Injury (SCI): Spine Surgery and Complications
Even if surgery can't reverse the damage to your spinal cord, you may still require a procedure to stabilise your spine to prevent or reduce future pain or deformity. Should this be the case, your surgeon from our department of neurosurgery in Marbella will guide you through your options.
5. Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF)
The TLIF technique helps to restore interbody height and correct spinal curvatures. As a result, the procedure helps to stabilise your spine and makes mobility much easier. TLIF is often used by our team of surgeons to support patients with different spinal conditions.
6. Thoracoscopy in the Treatment of Scoliosis
Scoliosis is one of the most recognised spinal conditions in the world. At our department of neurosurgery, we can use new thoracoscopy treatments to correct the damage caused to your spine by the condition and improve your posture, stability and mobility.
7. Back Pain and Spinal Surgery
Sometimes surgery is required to remedy the symptoms of chronic back pain and sciatica. If this is the case, the team at our department of neurology will work closely with you to ensure you know what to expect and how to prepare.
Alternative Treatments
For conditions like arthritis and sciatica, we may recommend alternative therapies like acupuncture and chiropractic therapies. Make sure you discuss any alternative therapies with your doctor before trying them. Our team will be best placed to ensure you only try treatments that will help and steer you away from any treatments that don't work or could, in fact, make your condition worse.
