WITH THE COVID-19 pandemic still a significant consideration throughout the U.S., many students are attending school online. Whenever humans engage with screen technology, proper posture and spine health are invariably put at risk depending on use. That spine health and back pain risk can increase due to emotional stress, a generalized lack of physical activity, unhealthy eating patterns and poor posture.
LONG BEACH, Calif., Nov. 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — The Spine Center at Memorial Care for Long Beach Spine Surgery continues to be a leader in the field of robotic guidance and navigation by acquiring the ExcelsiusGPS®, system, a robotic navigation technology that elevates precision in spine surgeries.
For those who suffer from chronic back pain, neck, arm, or leg pain, spinal cord stimulation can help. In many cases this technique is used after back surgery has failed, and a patient has experienced failed back surgery syndrome. FBSS, as it is often called, is not really a syndrome at all but rather a term used to describe patients who underwent back surgery and did not achieve meaningful results.
The most common causes of back pain are self-treatable, self-diagnosable problems. For adults, back pain is usually a temporary infliction that becomes more common with age. However, there are also several more serious causes of back pain that require medical intervention.
Everyone knows the importance of having a good doctor. If you want to optimize your medical experience, however, it’s important to also be a good patient.
