Where can someone get micro surgery on their back?
Question:
I live in AZ, but I think we have been to every back/neck specialist here, and we discovered that AZ does not have qualified professionals to deal with this, or even recommend us to someone who can help.
Answers:
Check out this site, I hope it helps. I personally have had 3 back surgeries, not microscopic, and 3rd one finally worked. I wish your wife the best of luck. You can also look up spinal microsurgery+Arizona. That is how I got the site below. Feel free to IM or e mail me.
A spinal cord stimulator is a device that helps block pain signals from reaching the brain thus giving you a tingly sensation instead of pain, which I have had incredible results with my pain from it...you can get more information about spinal cord stimulator's at www.ans-medical.com I have been to some incredible doctors here in Utah, have you tried other types of doctors like Pain Management specialists, neurologists/neurosurgeon or other types of doctors besides just neck/back specialists? I have found through my quest with all of my pain that even though some are suppose to be specialized in certain areas that some other types of doctors that are more generally trained have been able to treat things better.
Here is a website talking about some of the micro surgery that you have talked about that may be helpful http://www.back.com/articles-minimally.h...
I'm not super familiar with "microsurgery" but from what I have read about it it sounds like it is something usually used more for herniated discs, but they may do it for pinched nerves too, I really don't know though. Good luck!
