Minimally Invasive Procedures Blog, TOP 10

Since we’ve started this blog on March 1st we’ve received thousands of visitors and gotten lots of great feedback. This post marks the 120th blog post so we figured it would be a good time to review some of our favorite and the most popular blog posts since we started 5 months ago.

1. The most popular blog post is Foraminal Stenosis Treatment Through Minimally Invasive Procedures which discusses the definition of Formalinal Stenosis, its symptoms, and treatment options.
2. Another popular blog post is Dr. Won’s discussion of about the difference between laser spine surgery and minimally invasive spine surgery. It clarifies the common misunderstanding that laser spine surgery is somehow a more advanced or superior method of back surgery, when in fact it is simply the product of confusing marketing terminology.
3. Our blog post back in May is an encouraging reminder that through the amazing breakthroughs in medical technology, patients who once suffered back and neck pain now have a second chance, because there’s always a second chance with back or neck surgery.
4. Understanding the difference between general anesthesia and local anesthesia. A plain English breakdown discussing the drastic difference between these two procedures.
5. Some of our readers were shocked to learn that their favorite summer footwear may be contributing to their back pain in our blog post, Why Summer’s Favorite Shoes Can Be Your Back’s Worst Enemy.
6. A frequently asked question was addressed in a blog post last month. Our patients want to know the best way to soothe their back and neck pain. “Heat or Ice? Which is Best for Back and Neck Pain?“
7. We were excited to share Jim Dujka’s success story on our blog early this month. Jim had been suffering with back pain for years, but now he is a Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery Success Story!
8. You may not realize it, but we have several videos on YouTube that can help you better understand your options for back surgery. That’s why we posted our Back Surgery Video Resources blog post.
9. Minimally Invasive Surgery in Plain English takes a complicated subject and breaks it down into simple language that anyone can understand.
10. Back in March, we posted a tip sheet that gave six questions to ask your spine specialist. It’s important to know what to look for in a spine surgeon.

Thanks to all of our readers and followers. We look forward to sharing more tips about how to keep your back and body healthy and pain free!
