              Spinal Disorders and Back Pain

              Marcus Neuroscience Institute at Boca Raton Regional Hospital takes a unique approach to every spinal disorder patient. We believe in tailoring therapy so it meets your needs and comfort level, and ultimately helps you live a life with less pain.

              Our neurologists and neurosurgeons have experience treating all types of spinal disorders, from common neck and back pain to traumatic injuries. We use conservative treatments whenever possible and avoid surgery unless it is absolutely necessary. When spinal surgery is needed, our team has access to the latest tools and technology, including interoperative MRI and CT scans.

              Which spinal disorders are treated at Marcus Neuroscience Institute?

              Whether you suffer from chronic back pain or a complex injury, our team can help. At Marcus Neuroscience Institute, we treat a full range of spinal disorders, including:

              • Chronic neck and back pain
              • Degenerative disc disease, including collapsed discs
              • Herniated discs
              • Sciatica
              • Pain, numbness or tingling in the arms, legs, neck or shoulders (radiculopathy)
              • Spine tumors
              • Spondylosis
              • Traumatic injuries, including fractures

              How do Marcus Neuroscience Institute experts diagnose spinal disorders?

              Before we diagnose your condition, you will come in for a physical exam and consultation with our team. During this exam, we’ll go over any previous tests you’ve had, such as electromyography (EMG), nerve conducting studies or imaging. We need to learn about therapies you’ve already tried to better understand your condition and come up with the best treatment plan.

              After the exam, we may ask you to undergo more imaging tests, such as MRI, CT scan, X-ray or SPECT/CT. The SPECT/CT imaging test can show inflammation around the spine that may not appear on a standard MRI or CT scan.

              Depending on your symptoms, we may also use injection therapy to help diagnose your condition. During these procedures, your doctor injects steroids or medicine into your spine to block pain and nerve signals. If the injection relieves your symptoms, it can help us figure out the source of your pain.

              How are spinal disorders treated at Marcus Neuroscience Institute?

              We take a conservative approach to spinal disorder treatment, which means we will use non-surgical therapies when appropriate. These treatments can include:

              • Physical therapy
              • Medicine (anti-inflammatories)
              • Epidural steroid injections
              • Facet injections or blocks
              • Nerve root injections
              • Radiofrequency ablations

              If your condition requires surgery, our experienced neurosurgeons have access to the latest treatment technologies, such as interoperative MRI and CT scans. These tools give us a detailed picture of bones and soft tissue, which can improve accuracy during surgery. This improved accuracy can lead to reduced complications and better patient outcomes.

              Most spinal disorder surgeries make more room in the spinal canal, which relieves pressure on nerves. This nerve pressure is what causes symptoms like pain, numbness or tingling.

              Some of the surgical treatments we offer include:

              • Discectomy and microdiscectomy
              • Disc replacement
              • Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF)
              • Spine stabilization
              • Spinal fusion
              • Laminectomy
              • Laminoplasty
              • Herniated disc removal
              • Spinal cord stimulation

              We also have experience with many minimally invasive techniques. In some cases, minimally invasive surgery can be an outpatient procedure, which means you don’t need to stay in the hospital overnight.

              Our approach

              When you come to Marcus Neuroscience Institute for spinal disorder and back pain treatment, you can expect:

              • A conservative approach to therapy that uses non-surgical or minimally invasive treatments whenever possible
              • Treatment that’s tailored to fit your needs and preferences

              A highly skilled neurology and neurosurgery team that has the experience and knowledge to find the right treatment for you

              Does Marcus Neuroscience Institute offer non-structural spine surgery options for those who want to avoid major surgery?

              If you’re not a candidate for structural spine surgery - or you would prefer to avoid this type of surgery - we may recommend spinal cord stimulation. This treatment, also called neuromodulation, does not usually involve manipulating the spine structure.

              During spinal cord stimulation, we will implant small electrodes in your spinal canal. These electrodes send electrical impulses to the spinal cord to help block pain.

              What is minimally invasive spinal surgery?

              Minimally invasive spinal surgery disrupts as little tissue as possible while still achieving the same goal as traditional surgery. This means our surgeons use small incisions and specialized instruments to complete the surgery. In some cases, such as a microdiscectomy, the incision can be one inch or smaller.

              Minimally invasive surgeries usually result in less blood loss and reduced pain for the patient, which also helps you recover faster.
