There are many companies promoting "Minimally invasive spine surgery".
What is it and why shouldn't you do it?
What is it:
Often referred to as a Laminectomy and Diskectomy, this is a procedure of microscopic proportions to cut off the part of the vertebral disk that is bulging into the spinal cord. This WILL relieve temporary pressure (maybe for as long as 18 months, or only a couple). It is referred to an "Invasive" because they don't have to go through all the muscles, organs, etc to get to the spine and they do not remove the disc entirely.
Why wouldn't you do it if you are in pain?
- It is a temporary fix... think duct tape to hold the bumper on your car until it becomes a real problem.
- It costs money! AND when you have to go back in for a fusion or (please don't do this - another laminectomy/diskectomy) the distance between your vertebra is continuing to diminish. IF the disc completely collapses the body will start to "self-fuse". (What is wrong with that... the nerves in that area will become crushed and stop sending signals to the body parts associated.) Guess what all these extra procedures cost MORE MONEY!
- Another way to think about it is like a band-aid on a serious wound. Would you use a band-aid if you nearly severed your hand from your arm? Of course not! You would go to an excellent hand surgeon to get it repaired and stitched back properly. Same with these procedures we are talking about. Don't tamper with your nerves (HELLO they DO NOT GROW BACK! Damage is permanent if left untreated!)
- Time spent injured, drugs taking their toll on you mentally and physically, pain prevents you from living, and all of this is fueled by (OMG I am going to say it... drug and medical companies and medical insurance companies, as well as another Federal company with three letters... F - D - A)
STOP the madness!
