Most cases of back pain improve with time, rehabilitation, and pain management but in some cases, surgery is required, Dr Licina uses advanced techniques to deal with these types of degenerative conditions.
Nerve pressure in the neck from a disc herniation or spurs can cause arm pain,numbness, and weakness. The team has expertise in surgery to remove the nerve pressure and either fuse or replace the disc.
Stenosis is spinal canal narrowing which causes nerve pressure and leg symptoms. This condition is commonly treated surgically with a laminectomy procedure to decompress the nerves.
Disc herniations can cause nerve pressure with sciatica. Dr Licina and his team perform over 100 day-surgery microdiscectomy surgeries each year to treat this common but often debilitating condition.
