Back and Neck Care: Enhancing Your Quality of Life
At Baylor Scott & White Texas Spine & Joint Hospital, we understand that back and neck pain can be debilitating, affecting your ability to work, walk, and enjoy daily activities. Our hospital offers comprehensive care with a focus on patient education, so you can make informed decisions about your treatment options.
Understanding Back and Neck Pain
Back and neck pain may stem from various conditions, including degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, nerve pain and inflammation or injuries.
Accurate diagnosis is essential to determine the most appropriate treatment plan. Our team is dedicated to identifying the underlying cause of your pain and developing a personalized approach to your care.
Our Approach to Spine Care
Our multidisciplinary team includes pain management physicians, spine surgeons, physical medicine physicians, radiologists, and physical therapists. This collaborative approach allows us to tailor treatments to each patient’s specific needs.
Non-Surgical Treatment Options
For many patients, non-surgical treatments are the most suitable options for addressing back and neck pain. Our comprehensive program includes:
- Medication
- Decompression traction
- Exercise programs
- Physical therapy
- Dry needling
- Trigger point injections
- Botox injections
- Work-strengthening programs
- Massage therapy
- Interventional pain management
- Acupuncture
These therapies aim to reduce pain, improve function, and promote recovery without surgical intervention.
Interventional Pain Management Procedures
When non-surgical treatments are insufficient, interventional pain management procedures can be used to alleviate pain directly at its source. These minimally invasive procedures are designed to treat the problem rather than just mask symptoms and include:
- Diagnostic and therapeutic neural block procedures
- Epidural steroid injections
- Neurolytic procedures
- Sympathetic blocks
- Radiofrequency thermocoagulation
- Cryoneurolysis
When Surgery Is Necessary
In some cases, surgery becomes the best option to relieve pain or correct structural issues. Our spine surgeons are trained in procedures that focus on minimizing surgical trauma and facilitating faster recovery. Common surgical treatments include:
- Artificial disc replacement
- Anterior cervical discectomy
- Bone graft spinal fusion
- Kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty
- Posterior lumbar discectomy
- Posterior lumbar decompression/laminectomy
- Spinal fusion (anterior and posterior)
- Reconstructive surgery
- Revision surgery
- Spinal cord stimulator/neuromodulation therapy
- Scoliosis surgery
The Journey to Recovery
Recovery involves a carefully coordinated, patient-centered program. Our rehabilitation team provides individualized plans, including physical therapy, occupational therapy, and pain management strategies, to help you regain mobility and return to your daily routines as quickly as possible.
