Who Should Go for the Spinal Fusion Surgery?

• Spinal fusion procedure decreases your back pain,
  increases mobility, and prevents neurological
  problems like numbness or weakness. It can
  preserve and restores your spine balance, its
  alignment, posture, and stability, effectively in
  the least invasive way possible.
• Sure it can give a new lease of life for patients
  suffering from chronic back pain for years.
• But does that mean everyone must choose the
  surgery to relieve the back pain? , No.
• Though Spinal fusion is an effective surgical
  procedure, it also happens to be the most
  over-prescribed surgical operations in the world
  today. In the majority of the back pain cases,
  Spine Specialists recommend conservative
  non-surgical options like pain medications,
  chiropractic care, physical therapy sessions,
  epidural steroid injections, back braces to help
  you get rid of the back pain. It is only when
  these non-surgical options fail to curb the back
  pain and restore the spine health, spinal fusion
  surgery has resorted.

What is Spinal Fusion Surgery and who is the
right candidate for it?

• The majority of the chronic back pain conditions
  are caused by the abnormal movement of the small
  bones of the spine, vertebrae. This abnormal
  vertebrae movement can destabilize the spine,
  damage the alignment causing chronic back pain
  and a slew of development problems drastically
  reducing the quality of life of patients. And
  the Spinal fusion surgery is performed by the
  spinal surgeons to get rid of this back pain by
  fusing the two or more vertebrae as one strong
  bone using bone graft and surgical hardware. This
  process stabilizes and aligns the spine, restores
  the disc space, and prevents further damage to
  the spinal cord and nerves.

Who should go for Spinal Fusion?

• Spinal Fusion is considered the best treatment
  procedure for Scoliosis, Spondylolisthesis,
  Degenerative disk diseases, Spinal stenosis,
  Spinal fractures tumours, Herniated disk
  Spinal deformities. But whether spinal fusion is
  the perfect treatment for you or not, depends
  upon several factors that your spine
  specialist will discuss with you in detail. In
  general, spinal fusion surgery is recommended if
• The back pain is chronic.
• If the spinal condition is caused by the abnormal
  movement of two or three vertebrae.
• Other non-surgical treatment options like
  physical therapy, braces, and medications were
  not able to show any further improvements in the
  condition.
• Spinal fusion surgery is the only option that can
  improve the quality of life of the patient.

• Though spinal fusion is the most effective
  treatment to get rid of chronic back pain, spinal
  surgeons in U.K or any other part of the world
  for that matter recommend non-surgical treatment
  options to cure the back pain. In case these
  non-surgical options fall short of improving the
  condition, spinal fusion is always the next best
  option.
• Todays spinal fusion procedures offer a
  minimally invasive way to surgically fuse the
  vertebrae to get rid of the pain in least
  possible time. There are only a few spinal
  specialists in U.K with extensive experience and
  expertise in performing minimally invasive spinal
  fusion surgeries and Dr. Jwalant Mehta is one of
  them.
