What type of doctor performs endoscopic spine surgery?

Answer 1

Try seeing a good massage therapist 1st. We do WONDERS for all types of muscular pain & promote natural wellness & relaxation. Another good idea is a chiropractor. Massage Therapy & Chiropractic care work very well together!! See the MT 1st to relax & loosen the muscles. He/she may also do some stretching. Don't get frustrated if the MT works where you said it is sore & then concentrates on another near by area. The site of pain is not usually the source of the problem. DRINK LOTS OF WATER AFTER THE TREATMENT to prevent lots of muscle soreness, headaches, nausea from lactic acid being moved out of the muscles. Drinking lots of water will flush it out of your system. The magnesium in a nice hot Epsome Salts bath will help ease soreness too. See the Chiro. afterwards that same day for a spinal adjustment. If you are a new patient, the Chiro. will probably take an Xray of the painful area to determine if you have Scoliosis, Arthritis, bone or disc problems, etc. Don't skimp on the Xray! 1 from 2 yrs ago may not show what is bothering you today! Think about it, you want the Chiro. (or ANY Dr.) to know what they are treating so they aren't just guessing. If they guess, you will be wasting more time & money on extra visits if their 1st few suggestions aren't helpful. You don't want someone to GUESS when they give you a prescription for strong medications if that won't help the underlying cause. Some Chiro's. will discuss your health, weight, diet, sleep, etc. which all have an effect of why we have pain. (Check out the book called The Vitamin D Cure! If you are deficient in this vitamin or the others that must be in your system (magnesium & calcium) for the vitamin D to be absorbed, the body can give off a LOT of different symptoms in an attempt to let you know there is a problem!! (Lethargy, weight gain, body aches, ETC!) This simple book did wonders for me & my pain!!! I also do MT & Chiro. care, but the right balance of vitamins makes a HUGE difference in how we feel physically & emotionally!! You could also see an Orthopedist...who will probably just give you pain killers or anti-inflammatory meds. that will mask the symptoms of your underlying problem. In my opinion, not a good idea!! If you are in SEVERE pain, medications may be necessary, but don't lose site of what is wrong to be causing the pain in the 1st place!! I have heard Accupuncturists do amazing things with back & other types of pain. Just don't let whomever you see just dismiss your pain as no big deal...it'll go away. Your body is trying to tell you something. Maybe you did too much lifting while helping a friend move or bending/kneeling gardening over the weekend. Maybe the repetative motion on a certain part of the body from your job is becoming problematic over time. Maybe you have a bone spur or other natural occurance the body does in an attempt to repair itself but ends up causing pain instead. Find out what the source of the problem is & work on finding ways to alleviate the stressor. If it took 20 yrs. for your back to get this bad...don't expect ANYONE will be able to fix it in 1 or 2 visits. ~Good luck!!~ :o)
