If you’ve ever had back problems, you know what it’s like to be in constant pain, unable to find a comfortable position sitting, standing or lying down.

A variety of conditions may cause spinal injury or pain, including:

• Bone spurs
• Finning or degenerative discs that lead to pinched nerves, sciatica, and herniated discs
• Arthritis in any area of the spine, most commonly found in the cervical or neck area, and the lumbar, or lower spine

Any type of surgical care on the spine is considered a type of orthopedic surgery.  An orthopedic specialist, orthopedic surgeons, and orthopedic surgeries may offer physical relief to many individuals diagnosed with spine scoliosis, sciatica, vertebral disc injuries or degeneration.

Unfortunately, orthopedic surgery, especially spine surgery, in the U.S. is very expensive.  Orthopedic surgery abroad offers individuals more options and choices when it comes to their spine care.
