Remember that pain can be a serious problem: Back and Neck Pain and Treatment Methods
Back and neck pain can often be caused by simple mechanical problems such as muscle spasm. However, these pains can sometimes be a symptom of more serious health problems. Lumbar or cervical hernia, spinal tumours, spinal fractures and infections can be among the causes of pain. A detailed examination and, if necessary, laboratory tests (blood tests, imaging methods) should be performed for the correct diagnosis of such pain. These evaluations will reveal possible serious diseases behind the complaints and will lead to the right treatment.
The Role of Depression and Psychosomatic Factors
Research shows that depression and anxiety can trigger back and neck pain. Especially in women, low back and leg pain due to narrowing of the spinal canal is thought to be related to psychological factors. In such cases, patients may seek help from different disciplines such as orthopaedics, algology and psychiatry. Psychosomatic factors may complicate the treatment process by lowering the pain threshold.
Treatment of Low Back and Neck Pain: Is Surgical Intervention Necessary?
Most patients can get rid of back and neck pain with medical treatment or physiotherapy. However, surgical intervention may be required in some cases. Especially in cases such as herniated disc, most patients do not need surgical treatment. However, surgical intervention may be necessary if there are symptoms such as severe pain, muscle loss or incontinence.
Technological Advances in Spine Surgery and Operation Time
Omurga cerrahisinde başarı oranları, cerrahinin türüne ve hastanın durumuna göre değişkenlik gösterir. Bel fıtığı gibi basit sorunlarda başarı oranı %90-95 arasında olabilir. Ancak, her cerrahi işlemde olduğu gibi komplikasyon riski mevcuttur. Bu nedenle, cerrahi kararı verirken dikkatli olunmalıdır. Teknolojinin gelişmesiyle birlikte, nöronavigasyon ve elektrofizyolojik kayıt sistemleri kullanılarak cerrahi komplikasyonlar en aza indirilebilir.
