Back Surgery Snellville

Gwinnett back surgery may seem like the only solution for curing chronic neck and back pain, but there are many non-surgical options for pain management. In fact, less than 1% of Doraville, Stone Mountain, Suwanee and Luxomni residents living with chronic pain actually require Gwinnett back surgery. For those in Gwinnett County and DeKalb County who do not need Gwinnett back surgery, epidurals and spinal injections are one Gwinnett back treatment used to reduce inflammation and pain. During an epidural injection, the pain-relieving anesthetic is injected into the space between the disc, spinal cord, and spinal nerve, providing fast-acting relief from neck and back pain. All spinal injections are done under fluoroscopy, a process that uses an X-ray image intensifier and fluorescent screen or video camera to display a live image of a patient's body in order to ensure proper needle placement. Other alternatives to Gwinnett back surgery for Lilburn, Lawrenceville, Smoke Rise, and Duluth residents experiencing chronic neck and back pain include: spinal cord stimulation, radiofrequency ablation, and other injections designed to block pain signals sent from various nerves, joints, and limbs. After diagnosing the source of the pain, determining the cause, and discussing treatment options with the patient at our Gwinnett back clinic in Lilburn, Georgia, our physiatrists at Peachtree Spine can perform all of these Gwinnett back surgery alternatives.

Depending on the patient's background and referral history, the first step in the pain diagnosis process may be for the Gwinnett County resident to undergo an MRI Gwinnett. During an MRI, a person lies on their back and enters the long, tubular-shaped machine, which uses a magnetic field and radio waves to produce a clear image on the patient’s internal systems. Trained doctors then read these images and use them to determine how to best treat the patient's Gwinnett back pain. In the majority of cases, spinal injections can help cure chronic pain but for severe pain, we may recommend Gwinnett back surgery. In the event that Gwinnett back surgery is necessary, we can refer a surgeon in the areas surrounding Stone Mountain, Duluth, Suwanee, and Doraville.
