The spine is a miraculous structure of bones, joints, and ligaments that allow for movement and bending of the body. Unfortunately, arthritis can take a toll on the spine, even at an early age. If you are having low back pain, it is important to learn about Ankylosing Spondylitis.
Every year around 1.34 million spinal surgeries are performed across the country. Approximately 644,000 of those are robotic-assisted surgeries1.
The warmer summer months invite fun outdoor activities and the beginning of summer sports. If you weren't active during the winter and spring months, slowly easing your way back into being active is best.
Living with arthritis of the spine can be challenging. The pain, inflammation, and stiffness can occur in the spine's joints or at the sites where ligaments and tendons attach to the spine's vertebrae—typically developing in the low back and neck.
Robotic spinal surgery brings the highest level of precision, safety, and recovery for minimally invasive and open spine surgical options. Robotic surgery is a tool using artificial intelligence to assist surgeons in improving the accuracy of the surgeon's highly trained base of skills and knowledge.
There are many benefits to minimally invasive surgical procedures instead of open spinal surgery. Minimally invasive surgeries, also known as MISS, are safer, require less recovery time, and have higher patient satisfaction.
