Скачать или смотреть Dr. Chappuis Explains Alternatives to Back Fusion Surgery

Join Dr. James L. Chappuis, FACS, board-certified spine surgeon and founder of Spine Center & Orthopaedics Atlanta, as he dives into the topic of back fusion surgery—what it is, when it’s needed, and the wide range of alternative treatment options available for degenerative spinal conditions.

👉 What Is Back Fusion Surgery?
Back fusion surgery is a procedure where two or more vertebrae are fused together to eliminate motion at a painful spinal segment. While it can offer relief in specific cases, it’s important to fully understand the implications before moving forward.

📋 When Is It Necessary?
Fusion may be considered for patients with chronic spinal instability, deformity, or conditions like spondylolisthesis that haven't responded to conservative treatments. But as Dr. Chappuis explains, it’s not always the best first step.

💡 Exploring Less Invasive Options
Before committing to fusion, patients may benefit from alternatives that carry fewer risks and shorter recovery times. At Spine Center & Orthopaedics Atlanta, we offer comprehensive evaluations to determine the best personalized treatment plan.

Options include:
✨ Physical Therapy and Lifestyle Adjustments
✨ Pain Management Techniques
✨ Interventional Procedures (like epidural steroid injections)
✨ Motion-Preserving Surgeries (like disc replacement)
✨ Dynamic Stabilization (Coflex® implants and more)
