To further promote the improvement of back and neck pain
among our patients, and among the community, we have created, and sponsor, the
Houston
Back and Neck Pain Support Group. The goals of this group are to
provide a forum in which those suffering from acute, sub acute, and chronic back
and neck pain, may educate each other, as well as educate us, as to their
problems, which involve not only pain, but the issues surrounding the pain.
We provide education for the participants as well, with teaching and lectures
from within, as well as from outside experts. Some of the areas of
concern, and which are addressed, are:
- non-surgical treatment options available at home
- exercises for weight loss
- stretching techniques
- weight loss
- how to lose weight (myths vs reality)
- how to keep the weight you lose, off
- understanding anatomy of the spine, for the public,
not the physician
- understand your spine, so that you will understand
your doctor
- who treats back and neck pain? WHERE SHOULD I START??
- neurosurgeon, orthopedic surgeon, physical
therapist, chiropractor, pain specialist, etc
- Understanding the difference between the various
surgical treatment options available
- should I have a fusion or just a disc surgery?
- what is minimally invasive surgery?
- what is artificial disc surgery all about?
- what is the difference between a fusion from the
front or back?
- when should I consider a spinal cord stimulator?
- what is a spinal cord stimulator?
- Is chronic pain destroying my marriage or my
relationship with my significant other?
- how can I have sex, when the pain is so bad?
- am I becoming addicted to the pain medications I am
taking?
- am I depressed because of the back or neck pain?
- am I an emotional roller-coaster because of the pain?
