Decoding Spine Surgery: Dr. Alfred Bonati's Guide to Recognising When It's Needed

The majority of the people has the tendency to ignore the back pain. Unless it's a very acute back pain, they don't pay too much attention. It's a little ache on the back and that's it. They also ignore the hip pain. They have some discomfort and they don't pay attention to it. They also ignore the knee pain and all these are information that they are telling. The spine is telling you that your nerves are under pressure or with some problems.
Ever wondered if that nagging back pain is more than just a minor inconvenience? In this episode of 'American Medicine Today', Dr. Alfred Bonati, the pioneering orthopedic surgeon behind the Bonati spine procedures, sheds light on when spine surgery might be the answer. Dr. Bonati breaks down the types of spine issues that could warrant surgical intervention, from sudden traumatic injuries like car accidents to chronic conditions that sneak up over time.
He stresses that pain in your back, hips, or knees shouldn't be ignored, as these could be signs of nerve compression needing urgent attention. If you've been managing your pain with medication and it's not cutting it anymore, it might be time to consider surgery. Dr. Bonati offers a clear, no-nonsense guide to understanding your symptoms and knowing when to seek professional help. Tune in for an eye-opening discussion that could change how you approach chronic pain.
