Illinois Spine & Scoliosis Center gets patients back into tip-top shape Home Improvements can be a time of heavy lifting, whether it’s moving boxes or rearranging furniture putting you at risk of sustaining back and neck injuries. “The easiest way to cause an injury is not keeping the core muscles in shape,” said Dr. Kris Siemionow, chief of spine Surgery and assistant professor of orthopedics and neurosurgery at the University of Illinois in Chicago. “The most common cause for a spinal injury is overuse,” he said. “Often, when you overexert yourself, your muscles fatigue, which left unrested, can lead to worse injuries such as strains, pinched nerves, or even breaks”. One common ailment is a disk herniation. This painful condition is caused by problems with the rubbery disks between the individual vertebrae of the spine. “A herniated disk is extremely common,” said Dr. Anthony Rinella, founder of the Illinois Spine & Scoliosis Center. “It’s often caused by repetitive motions that involve looking up. Disk herniations in the neck area common cause of pain radiating toward the shoulder and down the arm.” Fortunately, there are treatment options available. Patients are often successfully treated with conservative management options, such as pain medication, therapy, and injections. But a small percentage of people with this condition will eventually need surgery. Traditionally, this procedure involved taking out the problematic disk and fusing the remaining disks together with metal hardware. While this fusion process provides spinal stability, it can also limit the patient’s range of motion. A newer procedure, called cervical disk replacement, has solved this problem. Like the standard cervical fusion, this surgery involves removing the disk to relieve pressure on the nerves. But instead of a metal plate, surgeons insert a flexible piece of plastic. “The biggest benefit is that this maintains motion of the neck in that area where normally a fusion procedure would weld the two bones together,” said Siemionow. “The cervical disk replacement basically functions similar to a joint replacement that maintains motion.” Please see spine, 18
