Spine
Have you been living with recurring back pain, neck pain, or weakness, numbness and/or pain down your arms or legs? Is it affecting your quality of life and ability to perform daily activities? If so, your pain may be the result of a spinal condition, such as:
- Neck and Back Pain
- Radiculopathy/Sciatica
- Herniated Disc
- Myelopathy
- Degenerative Spondylolisthesis
- Adjacent Segment Disease
- Lumber Spinal Stenosis
- Adult Degenerative Scoliosis/Spinal Deformity
- Lumbar Degenerative Disc Disease
- Osteoporotic Compression Fractures
- Spinal Trauma
- Spine Tumors/Metastatic Disease
The Summa Health Orthopedic Institute can treat these painful, yet common spinal conditions. During your consultation, all options will be explored and tailored individually to you. Conservative methods, such as new medications and outpatient therapy, are considered first, followed by discussion of the risks and benefits of possible surgical intervention.
If you are a candidate for surgery, we may be able to treat your spinal condition through a minimally invasive approach. Compared to traditional open surgery, minimally invasive procedures result in:
- Less anesthesia
- Faster recovery and return to activities
- Less post-operative pain
- Smaller incisions and less scarring
- Less soft tissue and muscle damage
- Less surgical blood loss
- Reduced risk of infection
During your office visit, you are encouraged to ask questions and express. Your role as an active participant in the decision-making process is the first step toward recovery and peace of mind.
For an appointment with our spine experts, Dr. Inkrott and Dr. Jaykel, call 330.835.5533. Together, we’ll develop a recovery plan to help you reach your goals.
