Spine Treatments

There are three types of treatments mainly; biomechanical therapy, medications and surgical procedures. The most important thing is the DIAGNOSIS. During the medical consultation, Dr. López Serna will indicate the best options for you.

Spine Treatments

Biomechanical Therapy

The alignments for the unloading of the weight along the vertebrae, their curvature and the musculature are evaluated. The starting point is to re align to the most appropriate torsion point and rehabilitate natural movements while reducing inflammation and recovering damaged tissue, releasing the nervious system.

It can be carried out in two main ways, with the aim of recovering from trauma such as an accident or surgery. But aiming to gradually improve posture and natural movement will allow the body to self-regulate, finding its balance, reducing inflammation, pain and recovering quality of life.

Biomechanical therapy treatment

There are multiple approaches in biomechanical therapy such as:

Physiotherapy

Development and recovery of mobility to bring to its maximum functionality. It can be done with small exercises, massages, electrotherapy, etc.

Spine treatments

Chiropractor

It is in charge of manual adjustments of the spine. Through chiropractic therapy nerve clamping can be released. It is contraindicated in case of arthritis.

Back schools

The main benefit is to correct the bad positions that over the years have worn out the spine. This process is a gradual learning but, with the help of a professional, the pain can be eliminated.

Nutrition

Overweight can be one cause of wear and tear on the spine. Therefore, the discomfort of back pain can be combated with nutritional assistance.

Spinal blocks

Corticosteroids are commonly used to provide short-term relief from back pain. Its effect can last around 3 months and this time could be enough for the body’s own biological mechanisms to heal the injury with the proper rehabilitation.

Stem cells

This treatment is used for vertebral arthrodeses, herniated discs, and other conditions. It is very safe and effective, it has been shown that significant improvement in spinal tissues is highly favored with the use of this new regenerative medicine.

Surgical procedures

When all treatments have been exhausted and the pain persists, surgery may be required to improve the quality of life. In addition, there are other spine diseases that can only be resolved with surgery, such as tumors.

Minimally invasive spine surgery.

This procedure is performed with microscope or endoscope, which allows the same parameters of open surgery to be applied.

Spine Surgeries

Endoscopic lumbar disc herniation surgery.

Percutaneous endoscopic discectomy (uniportal or biportal) allows the removal of a herniated disc, through direct visualization with an endoscopic camera.

Vertebroplasty

Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty are minimally invasive procedures applied to treat fractures caused by vertebral compression.

Spinal deformity surgery

There are many types of deformities that can affect the spine, scoliosis and listhesis are the most common. When the normal curvature of the spine is affected, surgical procedures can be performed to restore it.

Oncologic surgery

Vertebral tumors can cause a variety of symptoms ranging from pain to compression of nerve structures. This treatment involves a series of procedures beginning with a biopsy, which is a minimally invasive procedure performed on an outpatient basis.
