Spinal Conditions
Houma Orthopedic Clinic’s fellowship trained surgeon is educated and experienced in a
full range of medical and surgical treatments for a variety of spinal issues ranging
from lower back pain to back trauma and neck trauma. The spine consists of individual
vertebrae that form a column which provides protection for the spinal cord and nerves
which communicate with muscles and telegraph sensations and messages to the brain. The
surgeons who specialize in surgeries to the spine have completed specialized training
in surgical procedures to the cervical and lumbar regions for repair and correction of
various medical conditions. Their area of specialization enables them to repair or
correct medical conditions including degenerative diseases such as osteoarthritis,
arthritis, and to surgically repair or correct ruptured discs.
Our spine surgeons perform both “minimally invasive surgery” and “closed” procedures.
Some of these procedures require advanced surgical equipment such as specialized
operating microscopes that enable the surgeon to magnify areas of repair through a
small incision.
Back pain is the second most common reported cause of pain behind headaches, with
