Spinal fusion surgery in Mexicali

Spinal fusion surgery in Mexicali 

Spinal fusion is surgery of the spine to stop pain. During this procedure, the doctor makes a surgical cut to view the spine. This can be done in two ways:

1. On the back or neck over the spine. You will lie down. Muscles and tissue are separated to expose the spine.
2. On one side of the abdomen if you are due to have surgery in the lumbar region. The surgeon will use tools called spacers to hold and hold the soft tissues and blood vessels smoothly, and have room to work.

If you had chronic back pain before spinal surgery in Mexicali, you will probably continue to have some pain afterwards but severe pain is greatly reduced, specially when surgery is performed by an expert physician. It is unlikely that spinal fusion eliminates all the pain and other symptoms. It is difficult for the surgeon to always predict which patients will improve and how much relief surgery will provide, even when MRI or other tests are used.

Losing weight and exercising will increase the likelihood of feeling better.

After spinal surgery in Mexicali, the merged area can not move back. Therefore, the spine above and below the fusion is more likely to be stressed when the spine moves and can have problems later.
