Back pain is known worldwide to be the single leading cause of disability. It prevents many people from participating in daily activities, both in and out of work. Statistics show that one-half of all working Americans admit to having back pain symptoms each year.
It is estimated that 80% of the world’s population will experience back pain at some time in their lives. Even though it is a more common problem for the elderly, reports have shown even adolescents suffering from back pain.
Treatment for back pain is not cost-friendly either. Pain-killers, therapy, and surgery are all costly means of finding relief from back pain. All-in-all back pain costs American citizens more than $50 billion in health care bills each year.
In response to this dilemma, Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery of Texas has since published an article that details the back pain surgery costs in Plano TX.
In the article, the spine-surgery clinic disclosed the usual surgery costs for low back pain. It highlighted the different types of back surgery available today and summarized when each treatment is applicable to a patient.
“Back surgeries can be costly. It is hard to give an exact amount because the costs will depend on how diseased your spine is and where the problematic vertebrae are located exactly in your spinal column. Insurance coverage can help wind down the prices a bit, though.”
The article also emphasized the need to consult a trusted neurosurgeon first before deciding to go through a surgery. It stated, “Back pain is a problem that can go away on its own in a few months. But if it doesn’t, and you’ve tried all the conventional treatment methods, your physician may suggest you undergo surgery.”
