New Technique to Ease Back Pain |
|
|
|
Back surgery that requires fusion of the spine is common. Although it can ease pain and suffering, the operation can create lasting restrictions. Now, Dr. Frank Kuwamura of The San Antonio Orthopaedic Group, is testing a new technique that may keep patients pain free and flexible.
To qualify for the study of this new device, you must be between the ages of 40 and 80 with spinal stenosis and have tried more conservative measures for at least six months. For more information, you can contact the San Antonio Orthopedic Group at 210-804-5400.
You may also visit This Link to find out more about the study or contact our research coordinator, Carl Negley at 210-259-5836

November 22, 2007
An amazing new surgical procedure is treating neck pain without fusion, by placing a manmade disc in a patient's neck. Now, patients have the option of getting a stainless steel implant to replace her disc and get rid of the pressure on her nerves. It's an alternative to fusion.
"Instead of limiting the motion, this device preserves pretty close to natural or to normal motion at that disc level. So the patient wouldn't experience any stiffness," said Dr. Pablo Vazquez-Seoane, an orthopedic spine surgeon at The San Antonio Orthopaedic Group
