Hey, this is Donald Gainey. I am a Physician. Patients with severe and chronic lower back pain who usually suffer from conditions like split discs or stenosis in the spine or degenerative disease of the disc consider surgery on the lumbar spine as a significant intervention in their lives. It promises to relieve them of dauntless chronic pain, improve their mobility, and generally heighten life. Although nonsurgical interventions should always be employed first, soon they become a viable option after exhausting all conservative efforts without an adequate amount of relief and much impairment to lifestyle, profession, and overall wellness.
