Are you struggling with back pain that will not go away? Are you wondering if surgery is right for you or what the best treatment method is to make that back pain disappear for good?
Thankfully, Desert Institute for Spine Care, or DISC, is the perfect place to meet with our qualified team of board-certified orthopedic surgeons who will help you make the perfect choice on how to fix your back ailments permanently.
If massage therapy, chiropractic treatments and physical therapy do not seem to be helping, it might be time to consider a permanent solution.
And at DISC, traditional spine surgery is not the only option. Our surgeons will walk you through several options to help you decide what the best procedure is for you.
Dr. Nima Salari at DISC is an expert in both operative and non-operative treatment of pathologic conditions affecting the spine. Salari specializes in ultra-minimally invasive endoscopic spine surgery and cervical artificial disc replacement.
"What we try to emphasize most is conservative care," Salari said. "Making sure that patients have otherwise exhausted other modalities before they even get to surgery."
DISC specializes in minimally invasive spine surgery (MIS) and ultra-minimally invasive spine surgery (Ultra MIS) such as Endoscopic Spine Surgery.
Minimally invasive spine surgery could be for you if you are hesitant about traditional spinal surgery.
"We try to offer the least invasive and most minimal type of surgeries with the fastest recoveries so that we can get patients back on their feet and back to what they enjoy which is just life and being around friends and family," Salari said.
So what is minimally invasive spine surgery (MIS) you may ask? MIS involves a small incision, which can lead to significant pain relief and improved mobility.
Compared to traditional spinal surgery, MIS minimizes blood loss and collateral damage to muscles, soft tissue and ligament attachments.
Other benefits include less pain after surgery, shorter hospital stays and a quicker recovery.
MIS can help you achieve a faster return so you can get back to your daily routine in no time.
Ultra MIS is a type of treatment that results in even less post-operative pain and a faster recovery time so you can get back to the action even sooner.
"The least invasive options that we have are to target very specific pain generators," Salari said. "Anybody is a potential benefactor of those techniques, but just like any other toolbox or tool shed where we have various tools, we look at those as specific tools for specific jobs as well and the ideal patients are folks who have a very focal finding that you can actually reach and access with those tools."
The surgeons at DISC are committed to finding the least invasive treatment for your back. There is no better time than now to get the help you need as Oct. 16 is World Spine Day, and the entire month of October is Spine Health Awareness Month.
DISC has five locations across the Valley -- in Phoenix, Gilbert (East Valley), Glendale (West Valley), Scottsdale and Squaw Peak and our expert spine surgeons have more than 50 years of collective patient-care experience.
