My typical spinal surgical procedures include surgery for a bulge in the septum or narrowing of the spinal canal, as well as various osteoporosis operations.
At Orton, I also perform more demanding back surgery that requires longer aftercare, which is needed to treat post-accident conditions or posture problems, for example.
Surgical treatment is by no means always the most appropriate form of treatment. The treatments can be divided in stages as follows:
- rest, medication and rehabilitation
- various anesthetics
- nerve structure cleansing surgery (eg interstitial bulge surgery and nerve root canal release surgery)
- surgery to repair spinal support structures (eg various ossification operations)
I enjoy caring for my back patients at Orton because there are a wide range of professionals specializing in back examination, treatment and rehabilitation under one roof. There is a wide range of treatment and rehabilitation options for those suffering from both chronic and acute pain. My patient can easily find the necessary treatment package in the hands of skilled professionals.
