Back pain can be a constantly frustrating and limiting problem that has the potential to seriously reduce a person's ability to perform even the most simple daily functions. Because of the spine’s status as a key part of both the skeletal and nervous systems, spinal injuries and disorders can cause discomfort and serious issues with posture, mobility and motor control, among other things. People suffering from any type of spine-related injury or condition should consider seeking treatment at a well-known and reputable spine institute. Spine surgeons at the Chapman Neurosurgical Spine Institute are experienced in administering non-surgical treatments as well as performing highly-complex, leading-edge procedures for a wide range of spinal issues.

Back Pain & Injuries

At the Chapman Neurosurgical Spine Institute, two common problems that patients present with are degenerative disc disease and spinal stenosis. Degenerative disc disease is not actually a disease, but instead a process that occurs in varying degrees as people age. The term refers to the gradual deterioration of the fluid-filled spinal discs that separate the bones of the spine, which are known as vertebrae. As these discs deteriorate, the vertebrae come closer and closer to rubbing against each other, which can be a source of tremendous pain and discomfort. Spinal stenosis refers to the narrowing of the spinal column, another condition that is not uncommon during the aging process. This narrowing puts pressure on both the spinal cord and its surrounding nerves, which can lead to pain and a loss of sensation and motor control.

For people who suffer from disc degeneration, spinal fusion surgery can provide immense relief. Chapman Neurosurgical Spine Institute spine surgeons are board-certified and experienced in spinal fusion surgery techniques. This surgery involves the fusion of various sets of adjacent vertebrae. Fusion of the vertebrae serves several purposes: When spine surgeons fuse the two bones, they can no longer rub against one another and cause pain. In addition, spinal fusion surgery can also help with posture, making it easier to stand up straight. This aspect of the surgery can be incredibly beneficial to patients with kyphosis (an excessive forward curvature of the spine). Chapman Neurosurgical Spine Institute has a solid reputation and highly-trained specialists who are experts in treating a wide array of back and spine issues.
