A Pain in the Back
The human body is a curious thing, to say the
least. It goes through all sorts of changes,
some of them good, some of them bad. The truth
is that we are all dying, some of us faster than
others, and as we race toward that inevitable
conclusion, our bodies finally begin to
degenerate, and as this happens, we will need to
find new ways of taking care of them. There are
numerous conditions that we will need to watch
out for, especially if we plan to remain in good
shape for the foreseeable future.

What is the Spine?
The spine is a series of bones in the back, made
up of what we call vertebrae, and these work in
connection with the  Spinal cords. The nerves
within the spinal cord send important messages to
your entire body, meaning if you end up with a
pinched nerve, the body will start to send
signals, which you interpret as pain. It is very
important that you do not ignore these pains, and
once you start to notice symptoms, you should get
to the doctor immediately. The spine has a
series of discs, and these are filled with a sort
of jelly. When you move, jump, or run, these
discs act as shock absorbers, ensuring that the
vertebrae never actually touch one another. As
time goes by however, these discs will begin to
break down, and you may even suffer from what are
known as pinched nerves.

The Causes of a Pinched Nerve
There are many different potential causes of a
pinched nerve, generally occurring when there is
pressure placed on the nerves. This pressure may
be the result performing repetitive motions,
though it is more likely the product if sitting
in one place for too long. For example, those who
work in office buildings will spend a long period
of time in a single position, generally sitting
down. In addition to that, there are many who
sleep in the same position each night, and this
too will contribute to their nerve
issues. Throughout the body one can find
several locations in which nerves travel through
the body, and they are not protected by any
consequential tissue. These areas need to be
protected, but over time, compression becomes a
stark reality. Pressure or inflammation on the
nerve root can cause serious pain, and it can
actually effect the foot/leg area. In the event
this compression lasts for a long period of time,
you will find that the protective barrier
surrounding the nerve begins to break down, and
this will cause even more pressure. If your
nerves were to become scarred, their normal
functions would be interrupted significantly,
making it harder for you to perform everyday
functions.

A Minimally Invasive Solution
In the past, spinal surgery was performed as what
is called an open surgery, which involved a
long incision in the back. This incision allowed
the surgeon to see exactly what was inside the
patients back, and it was much easier to see
what was wrong. Technology however has marched
forward, and it is now possible to treat neck
and  back conditions using minimally invasive
treatment. What does this mean exactly?   -Faster
Recovery Time -Less Risk -Faster
Surgery Minimally invasive surgery will not
require the long incision, meaning a minimal
amount of pain. During the procedure, doctors use
a specialized instrument to gain access to the
spine, and they can do so without the fear of
causing additional injuries to the spine. The
bottom line here, is that if you were holding off
on surgery for fear of the invasive procedure,
then fear no longer. You can have your surgery,
and be up and about within a few weeks, which is
considerably better than the alternative.
