80% of this can be avoided by making better decisions everyday.
People may get back surgery for various reasons, such as:
- Chronic back pain: Back surgery is often recommended for people who have chronic back pain that doesn’t respond to non-surgical treatments, such as physical therapy or medication.
- Spinal cord compression: Surgery may be necessary if there is a compression of the spinal cord or nerve roots that is causing pain, numbness, or weakness in the legs.
- Herniated discs: A herniated disc occurs when the soft inner part of a spinal disc protrudes through the outer layer, causing pressure on the spinal cord or nerves. Surgery may be necessary to remove the protruding portion of the disc.
- Spinal stenosis: Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal that puts pressure on the spinal cord or nerves. Surgery may be necessary to remove the bone and tissue that are causing the narrowing.
- Scoliosis: Scoliosis is a condition in which the spine curves abnormally. Surgery may be necessary to correct the curvature of the spine.
- Fractured vertebrae: If a vertebra is fractured due to injury or osteoporosis, surgery may be necessary to stabilize the spine and prevent further damage.
It’s important to note that surgery is usually considered a last resort after other non-surgical treatments have been tried and found ineffective. A doctor will typically only recommend surgery if they believe it is necessary to relieve pain, restore function, or prevent further damage to the spine.
