Relieving Chronic Pain

Lumbar spinal stenosis is a serious medical condition involving chronic pain in the lower back, buttocks, or legs. This unfortunate condition is brought on by degenerative arthritis, and it can greatly damper the quality of one’s life. Surgery is the most popular treatment for the chronic pain associated with lumbar spinal stenosis. However, some patients actively seek alternative pain relief options. For a few patients, experiencing a major surgery isn’t a viable option. Living with severe and chronic pain is unbearable for most people. Making a change in your life starts with exploring the options available to you. At Certified Spine and Pain Care, our team will take the time to review your pain relief treatment options. You can expect all of the answers you need to be presented to you in an easy to understanding way that is not condescending. 

Vertiflex Procedure in Delray Beach

The Vertiflex procedure in Delray Beach has been proven effective in treating the pain caused by lumbar spinal stenosis. It should be stated that the Vertiflex procedure cannot cure any condition, but it can provide pain relief for up to five years. Not all patients experience such amazing results, as the success of the treatment depends on each individual. When you seek out pain relief treatments, you aren’t always promised the same results. However, taking your chances and trying something new is better than not trying anything at all. One of the great things about the Vertiflex procedure is that it can easily be reversed. Once the procedure has been reversed, patients are free to try other treatments.  At Certified Spine and Pain Care, we can help provide stellar outpatient treatment that will allow you to move freely without pain.

Vertiflex is an FDA approved and clinically proven treatment for lumbar spinal stenosis that is efficient. The minimally invasive surgery has a short recovery time. You can be back in action in just a few weeks. Patients don’t have to worry about being left with ugly scars after the procedure. Since the Vertiflex procedure has been introduced, patients suffering from chronic pain have reduced dramatically. Eighty percent fewer patients are using opioids as a pain treatment option.

Reducing the Need for Opioids

Patients who already use opioids as a pain control method can still benefit from the Vertiflex procedure. The procedure can reduce the need for opioid pain relievers. In fact, some people can completely eliminate the need for opioids. Vertiflex may not be the answer for everyone, but it has been effective for many patients with limited mobility caused by chronic pain. Reducing the need for opioids can allow patients to free themselves from potential addictions. At Certified Spine and Pain Care, we can review all of your treatment options to create an individualized plan. Patients diagnosed with lumbar spinal stenosis can experience different levels of pain. Our staff will treat you with respect while guiding you through the procedure. 

No Bone Removal Required

With the Vertiflex procedure in Delray Beach, there isn’t a need for any bone removal. The small spacer that is inserted into the spine is placed directly between the spinous processes. The spinous processes are the bumps you feel when you run your hand down your spine. By increasing the space between the processes, the nerves are relieved of pressure. The pressure on the nerves is what causes back and leg pain. No disruption to the tissue takes place during the procedure. Patients will require a small amount of aftercare, but they can expect to return to their normal lives. If any problems occur, the spacer can be removed without causing major damage. Once the spacer is removed, the patient may experience more pain than before. 

Improving Leg Pain

At Certified Spine and Pain Care, we strive to help patients who suffer from leg pain. After undergoing the Vertiflex procedure, seventy five percent of patients experienced less leg pain. The physical functionality of Vertiflex patients improved as much as eighty percent. The streamlined procedure is safe and effective for most patients suffering from moderate to severe pain. Contact our team at Certified Spine and Pain Care today, as you have nothing to lose except your back and leg pain. Getting back to a more physically active lifestyle is easier to accomplish than you assume. 

Increasing Space in the Spine 

The Vertiflex procedure creates more space between the bones in the spine. The indirect compression device extends robotic arms to widen the area. Patients won’t be able to feel the insertion of the spacer. Patients will not be able to feel the spacer once the procedure is complete. Once the recovery time is done, the patient can resume their physical activity without feeling the spacer. The main goal of the spacer is to create more space, hence the name. The spacer is a device that is shaped like the letter h, but it has powerful capabilities. At Certified Spine and Pain Care, we are well seasoned with the Vertiflex procedure. You can rest easy in our capable hands.
