Back pain is a common ailment that impacts over 80% of people in the USA at some point during their lives. Medicine, exercise rehabilitation, steroidal infusions, acupuncture, stretching, and strength training are common treatments for spine conditions. If these methods fail to relieve the back pain, the doctor may suggest minimally invasive surgery, such as XLIF, ALIF, PLIF, discectomy, and other procedures. Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery of Texas is a back pain surgery clinic in Texas, run by the highly professional spine surgeon Plano, Dr. Scott Kutz.
The clinic has treated various spine-related problems and has a history of successful back surgeries. It has helped millions of people get back to living happy life, including celebrities, sportsmen, and various others. A golf player shares his experience of having persistent back pain despite having undergone three microdiscectomy surgeries. “Even though some medicines and physical exercise temporarily relieved it, I had a stabbing ache in my lower back from time to time until I found out about MINT. They operated me with the best ALIF surgery, and I was amazed to get relieved from the pain I had been suffering with for years!”
ALIF is a complex procedure that can help with a variety of issues, including golfing back pain. For MINT neurosurgeons, who decide to choose an innovative route to reach the impacted vertebrae in the lumbar spine, it is a pervasive but effective procedure. The vertebrae, stacked on top of each other, make up the spine. Discs in the vertebrae act as cushions, allowing the vertebrae to keep moving and rotating without scratching against one another. As a result, the lumbar spine remains in good working order. One of the best back pain treatments is lumbar disc replacement surgery. It is a minimally invasive procedure that allows the surgeon to replace a degenerated or worn disc in the lumbar spine with an artificial one. Because it does not require the joining of two vertebrae, it is an alternative to spinal fusion surgery.
MINT is a well-known clinic in Plano, Texas, specializing in minimally invasive procedures such as lumbar disc replacement surgery. Their Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion is a sophisticated procedure that gets carried out carefully with the collaboration of the neurosurgeon and the vascular surgeon to ensure that the job gets done correctly. To make room for the neurosurgeon, the vascular surgeon moves muscles and blood vessels out of the way. The neurosurgeon plano then reaches the lower spine with specialized tools and removes the defective disc. After the incision is closed, the medical team keeps a close eye on the patient. Aside from that, a patient is up and about within a few hours of surgery. It still takes about six months for the bone graft material to fuse the vertebrae, so the patient needs to do physical therapy, take medications, and avoid strenuous activity during that time. But once the care period is over, there is a rare chance that the problem remains. And phew, the pain is gone forever!
