Atlanta Back Surgery

Spine Surgery Atlanta

Many Georgia residents feel that Atlanta back surgery is a viable option for alleviating their chronic back pain, yet Peachtree Spine offers many alternative treatments and views surgery as a last resort for managing severe pain. Studies show that upwards of 80% of the American population, including those residing here in Atlanta and the surrounding neighborhoods of Brookhaven, Buckhead, Chastain Park, and West Peachtree Battle, will suffer from severe back pain at some point in our lives. The most common types of back pain include: herniated discs, spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal), facet joint syndrome, spondylolisthesis (vertebrae slippage), myelopathy (pressure on the spinal cord), whiplash headaches, and myofascial pain syndrome, to name a few. Our Atlanta – Medical Quarters office, located less than 10 miles from Brookhaven, Dunwoody, Chamblee, and Sandy Springs, is a great resource for Atlanta residents suffering from these types of pain that think they may require Atlanta back surgery.

Back Surgery Perimeter

Understanding the source of the pain and closely monitoring its origin may help you to avoid undergoing Atlanta back surgery. While these common types of back pain stem from many possible causes, mechanical problems, such as ruptured and herniated disks or muscle spasms, are some frequently cited sources of back pain, and they may require Atlanta back surgery. Residents of Roswell, Dunwoody and Perimeter may experience these pains as a result of sports-related injuries, general accidents, or problems with their posture. In fact, whether you work in Brookhaven, West Peachtree Battle, or Chastain Park, your job and your posture while sitting at a computer could affect your levels of back pain. It's important to take short breaks to move around during the day and observe any symptoms closely in order to best avoid work-related injuries and Atlanta back surgery. However, in very extreme cases (less than 1%), Atlanta back surgery is unavoidable. Genetic factors, preexisting medical conditions such as degenerative disc disease, and age often play roles in back pain amongst residents of Sandy Springs, Dunwoody, and other parts of Fulton County.

Sometimes, the cause of back pain remains unknown, but Atlanta back surgery or another Atlanta back treatment, such as an epidural steroid injection, can help to alleviate the pain for people living in Dunwoody, Chamblee and Perimeter. In order to determine the best treatment option for those Atlanta residents and other residents of Fulton and DeKalb counties living with Atlanta back pain, we may require an MRI Atlanta. An MRI (short for magnetic resonance imaging) is a non-invasive medical examination; it uses radio frequency pulses to produce detailed images of the body, which the doctors at our Atlanta back clinic will evaluate, in order to determine whether or not Atlanta back surgery is the next appropriate step. If the doctors feel that a patient does not require Atlanta back surgery, they will discuss back surgery alternatives, which commonly include spinal injections.

Our Atlanta – Medical Quarters office is conveniently accessible from Georgia's Dunwoody, Chamblee, Roswell, Sandy Springs, and Buckhead neighborhoods. There are seven certified doctors and nurses at this Atlanta, Georgia location, all of whom will gladly work with you to help alleviate your pain and determine whether or not Atlanta back surgery, or a non-surgical alternative, is the best course of action.
