Your spine plays many important roles such as supporting your head, shoulders, and upper body and giving you the ability to bend, twist, and stand upright. However, a key role of your spine is to protect your spinal cord which is a set of nerves that connect your brain to the rest of your body, known as the central nervous system.
If you are experiencing pain along your spine, it can be caused by several factors such as pulled muscle, bulging disc, or arthritis. Depending on the cause of pain and severity, you may have been told that epidural steroid injections or surgery are your only options to treat your pain. These treatment options have many potential adverse side effects and may lead to lengthy recoveries.
At Derrington Orthopedics – Interventional Sports and Spine, we offer non-surgical alternative treatment options that can use your own body’s cells to repair soft tissue damage, allowing for shorter recovery periods and no need for long term pain medication.
