Statistics show that over 80% of the population will suffer from low back pain during their lives. The first attack of low back pain typically occurs between the ages of 30 and 40, while it becomes more common with age.
Low back pain is caused by a wide range of factors. Physical fitness plays a huge factor, with back pain being more common among people who are not physically fit. Strenuous activity can also trigger back pain, disabling many once they lift a big object without proper lifting posture. Other factors include heredity, diet, and vices.
Even though low back pain is one of the most annoying pains a person can get, there exist many treatment options for it. Medications such as pain relievers and muscle relaxants help people deal with the pain while physical therapy can help for faster recovery. But sometimes, surgery can be the solution.
Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery of Texas or MINT offers the best type of surgery available today, Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS). Regarding the advantages of minimally invasive spine surgery over open surgery, the management released this statement:
“Open surgery does produce results, but along with it comes blood loss and risks of infection, all the while resulting in longer recovery times and hospital stays.
With minimally invasive spine surgery on the other hand, instead of making a long incision, a small passage is created using a tubular retractor to reach problem areas of the back. This significantly reduces blood loss and infection risk. Because the operation avoids huge muscle damage, the recovery times are also shortened.”
