  • Scoliosis

    If it's been 4 years since your last x-ray you need to get a new one in followup. scoliosis progression occurs during growth years and exercise does not halt progression. READ MORE

  • What is the best painkiller after spine surgery?

    Depends on the surgery you had. If it was a fusion, you do not want to use any NSAIDs as they can impair the fusion. The most potent opioid in oral form is dilaudid, however, that is typically not necessary. Most patients do fine with vicodin (hydrocodone) or percocet (oxycodone). If the surgery doesn't involve a fusion, then alternating tylenol with NSAIDs as soon as you can get away from the opioids is best. READ MORE

  • Do orthopedic doctors treat back pain?

    Yes, but keep in mind that over 80% of back pain is self limited and will improve with simple measures such as rest, NSAIDs, stretching, heat/ice. Orthopedic doctors are surgeons, that is what our training is and the service we provide. Most back pain can be managed by your family doctor. If it becomes radiating pain that does not improve, he can then order imaging and refer to an orthopedic surgeon. Just keep in mind we are not pain management or therapy we are surgery READ MORE

  • Can a fractured spine heal on its own?

    Yes, a spine fracture will heal like any other broken bone. As long as the fracture does not involve compression of the spinal cord or some type of instability most of them are really no different than a broken foot, painful, but will heal. But what really matters is which part is fractured as some patterns are very serious which should be discussed with whomever is treating you. Dr. DeHoll READ MORE

  • Can spine issues cause neuropathy?

    Neuropathy is a specific condition. It has to do with how effectively a nerve transmits its signal. Certain medical conditions usually are the cause. Radiculopathy is when nerve is compressed in the spine. They are different conditions. You can have both, but typically spine issues do not result in neuropathy. READ MORE

  • What happens if you don't do physical therapy after spine surgery?

    Typically your recovery may be slightly slower. As a 48 year old male you should be able to exercise and rehab on your own successfully. A physical therapist is usually there to assist and guide your recovery efforts READ MORE

  • Will I walk with a limp after spine surgery?

    There is no reason to expect a limp after surgery if one was not present before. Surgery is intended to improve leg pain READ MORE
