Back Pain Relief Starts With the Right Diagnosis

Back pain is common,1,2 and treatment isn’t one-size-fits-all. Identifying the cause can help guide care, including ultra‑minimally invasive techniques and nonfusion procedures designed to help relieve symptoms and preserve motion.

You Are Not Alone

Eight out of 10 adults experience back pain at some point in their lives.1,2

The spine is a complex structure that allows movement and provides stability. When affected by injury or conditions such as disc herniation, spinal stenosis, arthritis, or a pars fracture (a stress fracture in the lower back), you may experience pain, numbness, weakness, or stiffness.

For many people, these symptoms can interfere with everyday life. The right diagnosis is the first step toward finding the most appropriate treatment.

Pars Fracture (Spondylolysis)

What Treatment Options Are Available for Spine Conditions?

Treatment depends on the cause of your back pain and your individual goals. Your doctor will recommend a treatment plan based on your condition.

Physical therapy or biologic treatment options
Ultra-minimally invasive endoscopic procedures
Fracture repair procedures
Other surgical approaches when appropriate

What Types of Spine Surgery Are Available?

Not all spine conditions are treated the same way. Endoscopic and minimally invasive surgical approaches are often considered when appropriate. However, open surgery remains an important and effective option for certain conditions. Your doctor may recommend: 

Ultra-minimally invasive endoscopic surgery

Uses very small incisions and visualization tools

Minimally invasive surgery (MIS)

Uses smaller incisions than traditional techniques

Open surgery

Provides direct access when more complex repair is needed
