Treatment Options
Spinal Decompression
Decompression surgery is any surgery that relieves compression of the spinal cord or the spinal nerves by creating space around the affected area.
Minimal Invasive Spinal Surgery
With less muscle damage, fewer complications, and more precise treatment, patient outcomes improve.
Total Disc Replacement
An innovative alternative to traditional spine fusion surgery, disc replacement surgery replaces the damaged disc with a prosthesis that allows the patient to retain a normal range of motion.
Non-Surgical Treatments
Surgery should always be a last resort. Texas Back Institute firmly believes this philosophy and a program of conservative care is the first therapeutic intervention offered.
Fusion Surgery
Spinal Fusion is a surgical procedure performed to “fuse” two or more vertebrae together. Fusion surgery is performed to help reduce back pain or neck pain and is only after conservative measures have not provided significant relief.
Discectomy
A discectomy, a minimally invasive surgery, is done to relieve the pressure that a herniated disk, which can also be referred to as a “slipped,” “ruptured,” “bulging disk” or “disc prolapse,” places on a spinal nerve.
Dynamic Stabilization Surgery
Dynamic stabilization surgery is an alternative to spinal fusion surgery, designed to stabilize the spine, while preserving a greater degree of flexibility.
Diagnostic Testing
The spine specialists at the Texas Back Institute have an arsenal of diagnostic tests to ensure precise diagnosis and successful treatment of our patients.
