Spine Surgery
How Do I Know If I Need Spinal Surgery? Speak to Our Neurological Surgeon
Issues involving the spine and back can take a major toll on your quality of life, and it's hard to know when to start considering spinal surgery. Contact our Tijuana, Mexico, practice for a free consultation to see if your back pain can be solved through one of our treatment options. Call our office if you are experiencing:
Chronic Pain
Contact us if you experience excruciating or chronic pain that has not responded to non-surgical treatment.
Disc Issues
Ruptured or herniated discs may require surgery to correct and eliminate pain.
Spinal Stenosis
Spinal stenosis occurs when the spinal canal narrows and puts added pressure on the spinal cord. This most often occurs in the lumbar region, the lower back, and can lead to leg numbness. Surgery is typically necessary to prevent nerve damage.
Numbing or Weakness
Contact us if you notice numbing or weakness throughout your arms and legs, especially if it is increasing over time.
Loss of Function
Loss of motor function in your feet or wrists, loss of bowel or bladder control, and difficulty walking could all be signs of a spinal issue that needs to be addressed through surgery.
Aging and Spine Health We Can Help Heal Your Age-Related Pain
As we age, it is normal for our bones and muscles to weaken, especially in our backs. Dr. Leyva can help treat age-related spine issues to alleviate your pain and restore your mobility:
Degenerative Arthritis
Degenerative arthritis, or osteoarthritis of the spine, occurs when the discs between your vertebrae lose their cushion, typically in the neck and lumbar regions. Sometimes there are no symptoms. However, when left untreated, this condition can lead to pain, weakness, and nerve damage.
Compression Fractures
A compression fracture occurs when one or more vertebrae collapse. This most often occurs due to osteoporosis or any disease that causes a loss of bone mass. The collapse typically occurs in the front of the vertebrae, causing them to shorten and for the person to stoop forward.
When nonsurgical methods aren't enough, spinal surgery can help restore your quality of life by treating these age-related conditions.
